Questions
Quick answers
Are Lisbon's historic lifts and funiculars running?
Only partly. The Graça funicular reopened in April 2026, but the Glória, Bica and Lavra funiculars and the Santa Justa lift were still closed in September 2026, with no reopening date. This plan does not depend on any of them.
Which days are the main sights closed?
The Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower are closed on Mondays, and the Gulbenkian Museum on Tuesdays. If day two falls on a Monday, swap days two and three.
The days these rules belong to
3 days in Lisbon
Lisbon is built on hills, so each day stays in one area: day one climbs from Praça do Comércio through Alfama to São Jorge Castle and ends with fado; day two takes the tram or train out to Belém for the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower; day three starts at the Gulbenkian Museum and finishes in the lanes of Chiado and Bairro Alto. Most of the city's historic lifts and funiculars are still closed in 2026, so bring comfortable shoes.
