An Elevator to the Stars...(Lisbon)

Lisbon is filled with unique ways to travel. This is an elevator built to take you to the top of the nearby hill. Its not a tourist trap though. It was designed to bring "commuters" up and down the hill...from one neighbourhood to another. Its a cheap ride to the top and once there, you exit to gorgeous view of the city, and well, a totally different neighbourhood. (And again, my rotation skills are lacking...so refer to our Pisa post for instructions on how to view my sideways pictures!)

At the top of the elevator. Not only are you rewarded with breathtaking views of the city, you turn around and there is this burned out cathedral. It is gothic and mysical.
