Elevador da Ribeira, Public elevator in Ribeira, Portugal
The Elevador da Ribeira connects the lower streets near the Douro River with the higher elevation areas through a vertical lift and footbridge.
Architect António Moura designed this transportation structure, which opened its doors on April 13, 1994, with President Mário Soares attending the ceremony.
The elevator serves as a meeting point for residents while providing a connection between different neighborhoods of Porto's historical district.
Operating Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 20:00, this complimentary lift service allows passengers to avoid climbing the steep hillside.
From inside the elevator, passengers can observe the Luiz I Bridge and Serra do Pilar hill across the Douro River in Gaia.
