Travel stories, a city trip to Lisbon in Portugal the Gloria cable tram

near the great Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon there is a nice antique cable tram Gloria to bridge the height. The Gloria cable tram runs from Bairro Alto to the upper Restauradores district. The road that runs the cable tram Gloria is very steep up or down. It is a unique experience to see the tram Gloria on, certainly to sit in or ride yourself.

If you want to cover the height of Bairro Alto to the Restauradores on foot, you can count on a good effort. The road that the Gloria tram travels with has been sprayed with graffiti in several places. This gives a unique atmosphere.

Downstairs at the end of the Gloria tram is the hard Rock cafe, which is always nice for a final.

In Lisbon there are 3 cable trams namely the Ascensor da Bica, the Ascensor da Gloria and the Ascensor da Lavra

A cable tram is a tram that is pulled on the tracks by a cable loop. the cable loop rotates around 2 points and is driven by a central motor instead of moving on its own. Usually, cable trams are only used for straight, steep pieces. Cable trams have their own braking system and a safety braking system, in case the cable would break. Cable trams are limited and less suitable when bends have to be passed. Curves cause a lot of tension in the mechanism and you will usually only encounter straights. A cable tram is essentially a kind of lift that overrushes heights.
