A hidden elevator in Lisbon might not sound interesting, but we found that this particular one was.
When you visit Lisbon, this is something worth seeing and appreciating. Present-day elevators are anything but beautiful and elaborate. It’s so interesting to see how much work was put into building an elevator in Lisbon many years ago.
So Secret That No One Else Was There
We expected to see people lined up to see this hidden elevator in Lisbon; however, we were the only people there. It must be because most people don’t know about it.
Until recently, we didn’t either.
We must have wandered through the Benetton in Lisbon’s Chiado neighbourhood a few hundred times before this night. This hidden elevator in Lisbon is something that is easy to miss unless you know about it or stumble upon it when you go clothes shopping.
How is there a Hidden Elevator in Lisbon?
On a rainy, Lisbon night, we hid inside from the drizzle, which soon turned into a storm, and browsed their latest selection of clothes. We’d never gone to the fourth floor before, but decided to see what was there and so we took the main and modern elevator up.
This elevator is located on the fourth floor of the building, which is located in front of The Café Brasileira, right in the heart of Chiado. There, you will find an open space. Turn right and you will see the hidden elevator, which looks quite elaborate. Originally built in 1888, this was one of the first elevators in Europe.
Once you spot it, it’s an understated, but lovely elevator.
Back to Present Day
Once you step away from the hidden elevator in Lisbon, you will see this view of Chiado, which is right outside and around the corner.
