Lisbon's historic elevators, including the Elevador da Glória, are expected to reopen in about three years. Concrete plans for their reopening already exist, according to available information.
The necessary intervention involves increasing the safety of the infrastructure. This is one of the main priorities identified to allow the elevators to operate again.
At the same time, it is essential to preserve the heritage value of these historic elevators. The structures are considered important heritage of the city of Lisbon and require specific preservation care.
The Elevador da Glória is one of the most well-known symbols of the Portuguese capital, linking Baixa to Bairro Alto and also functioning as a relevant tourist attraction for the city.
