Lisbon has three operating cable hauled funiculars ("elevadors"). First off and easiest to find from the main tourist district is the Gloria funicular, running from Praca do Restoradores up to the Barrio Alto. The right of way is an active street with car traffic (although mostly for access to parking areas).

Another funcular runs along the Rua de Bica, from the Rua de Sao Paolo at the bottom up to the Rua Loreto. This one is the hardest to find of the three funiculars but is the most interesting. The Bica's bottom terminal is inside a building and the top terminal is down a few steps preventing car access to the street at these points. However, the right of way is a street, which cars may access from a couple of intersecting streets.

The third funicular is the Lavra, running up a hill west of Praca do Restoradores also along a pedestrian street.
