The guided tour on the Funicular da Graça invites visitors to reflect on — and physically engage with — aspects of the city that often go unnoticed in everyday life. Architect João Favila Menezes describes how the project was conceived as you make your way up from Rua dos Lagares, walking beneath the structure and continuing toward Graça. Along the route, layers of history and public spaces converge, uncovering subtle connections that might otherwise remain hidden. The visit culminates in a fitting reward: a panoramic view across Lisbon from the Miradouro da Graça.
