Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo

The steep cobblestone street stretches from Travessa do Cabral to Largo do Calhariz, featuring residential buildings with traditional Portuguese architecture on both sides.

The street gained recognition in 1892 with the installation of the Bica Funicular, which transformed local transportation and connected the upper and lower sections.

Local residents maintain Portuguese traditions by displaying laundry from windows, operating small cafes, and preserving the traditional azulejo tiles on building facades.

Visitors can access the street via public transportation, with the nearest metro station at Baixa-Chiado, or by taking tram 28 to the neighboring streets.

The street's 245-meter track features an 11.8% incline, allowing the yellow funicular to transport passengers while offering views of the Tagus River.
