Residents of Almada and all visitors to this region, of course, already have reason to be happy, now that one of the spots offering the best views of the city of Lisbon has reopened .
The Boca do Vento Panoramic Elevator is back in operation after a nearly two-month shutdown for renovation work.
50 meters between Almada Velha and Jardim do Rio
More than just a structure that will spare you the effort of climbing the steep 50-meter slope between Almada and Jardim do Rio, this elevator is a true landmark of the South Bank, consisting of a glass-enclosed balcony that offers an unparalleled panoramic view, perhaps comparable only to that of Casa da Cerca, also in this area of Almada.
The ride on this elevator is quite short, but it offers a completely unobstructed view of the Tagus estuary, with the 25 de Abril Bridge and the capital as a backdrop.
Renewed safety and comfort
The work carried out over the past few months focused on maintaining and modernizing the available equipment, ensuring that the entire structure is once again operating to the highest standards of safety and comfort for all passengers.
Thus, the Boca do Vento Panoramic Elevator is once again a focal point for those who choose this area of Greater Lisbon to spend quality time with friends or family, especially if you’re coming from the Historic Center and plan to take a stroll along the river or relax on the lawn of the Jardim do Rio at sunset.
It is worth noting that this elevator had previously been closed between February 2 and 16, 2026, during an initial phase of construction, so this second closure was a continuation of the renovation work.
