My review is not of the actual funicular because I did not have the opportunity to ride it. Rather it is of the employee that was present at the time I arrived. As you can see from the photo attached the funicular in winter time runs until 12:55 p.m. I arrived at 12:29 p.m. therefore leaving just over 30 minutes until the morning sessions of the funicular ended. However, the funicular driver decided that he wanted to take his lunch early and lied saying that the last morning ride was over and to come back for the afternoon. I wonder if his employers are aware that he is stealing their time by not working a full shift. I'm quite sure the actual funicular ride is enjoyable but I wouldn't know as I was on a tight time schedule and was not able to wait to take it in the afternoon. Extremely disappointed and disgusted with the utter and complete lack of customer service and not...

The Bom Jesus Funicular offers a truly unique and historical experience. As one of the oldest hydraulic funiculars in the world, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the past while offering a convenient way to ascend the hill to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte.

I highly recommend taking the funicular at the beginning of your visit to the sanctuary. This way, you can conserve your energy for exploring the beautiful Baroque staircase, the lush gardens, and the magnificent church. By starting your visit with a ride on the funicular, you'll be able to fully appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this iconic...

O Elevador do Bom Jesus localiza-se no Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte, na freguesia de Tenões, na cidade e concelho de Braga, distrito de mesmo nome, em Portugal. Operado pela Confraria do Bom Jesus do Monte, liga a parte alta da cidade ao Santuário, vencendo um desnível de mais de cem metros de altura, e segue um percurso paralelo ao dos Escadórios do Bom Jesus, terminando, na parte mais alta, junto à estátua equestre de São Longuinho. Sendo o primeiro funicular construído na Península Ibérica, é atualmente o mais antigo em serviço no mundo a utilizar o sistema de contrapeso de água. Em 23 de Maio de 2013 foi classificado como Monumento de Interesse Público. Foi construído por iniciativa do empresário bracarense Manuel Joaquim Gomes (1840-1894) com o objetivo de substituir a linha dos americanos de Braga (veículos sobre carris puxados por cavalos), que originalmente se estendia até ao santuário e que tinha de ter a sua tração complementada por bois na íngreme subida em dias de maior afluência. O projeto foi da autoria do engenheiro suíço Niklaus Riggenbach que, a partir do seu país enviou todas as indicações necessárias para a execução do projeto e instalação dos equipamentos. Os trabalhos foram iniciados em março de 1880, com colaboração técnica do engenheiro português de ascendência francesa Raul Mesnier du Ponsard que, no local, superintendeu os trabalhos. A inauguração ocorreu em 25 de março de 1882 (138 anos). (O seu sucesso foi de tal ordem que, nesse mesmo ano, constituiu-se em Lisboa a Companhia dos Ascensores, que convidou Mesnier para projetar e instalar na capital portuguesa uma série de elevadores funiculares e de carros de cabo sem fim — os primeiros dos quais se encontram até hoje em funcionamento.) A campanha de reparações levada a cabo em 1946 utilizou material oriundo do desmantelamento do Comboio do Monte, na cidade do Funchal, na...

Well worth a trip. Difficult to find if you are not looking out for the signpost to the Funicular once on the road up to the church. Only one signpost from the main road. The Funicular at Bom Jesus is an amazing piece of engineering-There are two tracks and carriages. There is a large tank under each carriage which is filled with water at the top and when it is released, gravity takes it down the track while at the same time pulling the second carriage up! The tank was emptied completely at the bottom and (I think) water pumped back to the top to start process again. Completed in 1882. - Such inventivenesses
