The Bica Funicular (Tram) and the street it is on, is the most photographed location in Lisbon. To get there, go to a street called Calçada do Combro which leads uphill from Praça Luis de Camões. Approximately 300 metres up from this street, on the left hand side, you will arrive at the Bica Funicular.

The most famous "steep tram" in Lisbon is the Elevador da Bica (or Ascensor da Bica), located on the Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo. Frequently cited as the "most photographed street in the world," this funicular has been in operation since 1892 and climbs a dramatic 20 percent gradient slope. It connects the riverside area of Cais do Sodré to the elevated neighborhood of Bairro Alto. The yellow tram cars, often covered in vibrant local street art, offer a stunning contrast against the backdrop of the Tagus River. While technically a funicular (cable-driven) rather than a traditional electric tram, it is a symbol of Lisbon's historic transit system. In 2026, it remains a must-see for tourists, though it occasionally undergoes maintenance due to its age. The journey is only about 350 meters long, but it saves travelers a grueling uphill climb. Similar "steep" historic lifts include the Elevador da Glória and the Elevador do Lavra, which also help navigate Lisbon's notoriously hilly "Seven Hills" landscape.
