They call this cable car an elevator because it takes you up one of the steepest, cobblestone streets in the city. It is bright yellow and it rattles up the hill for about 5 minutes to get to the top, where it stops at Bairro Alto and right next to the Miadouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara (see next post to see this!). It was fun taking the little car up the hill, a very touristy thing to do but fun nonetheless. There are locals that do use it though to get up the hill, especially the elderly. It is considered a form of public transportation because you can use your metro/bus card to take it up for free. I also went up it with Cam and her friends when they came here.
