点评:From on the Praça do Comércio (Commerce Square) you cannot overlook the Arca da Rua Augusta, superficially looking like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but not standing alone and integrated here in the adjacent buildings. It marks the end of the Rue da Augusta, a major shopping street, hence the name. It is a perfect getaway from the crowds on street level. Free access with the Lisbon card.
A modern elevator brings you to the 2nd floor. Continue from there via winding stairs to the top, and enjoy the view over the city from 30 meters (100 feet) high. The narrow stairs are one-way only, allowing traffic either up or down. There is a button with a red/green light to signal free passage. Alas, there is no instruction next to the button, so one has to learn the hard way what the purpose is of the button and the red/green light. The protocol is simple: push the button, and wait for the light to become green. If you ignore it, there is a chance that you meet other visitors going in the opposite direction, forcing a decision who is to turn around.
Standing next to the oversized statue on top, you can enjoy an excellent view over the square and the Tagus river on one hand and the many landmarks in the city on the other hand. A perfect alternative to the Santa-Justa lift with its long lines of waiting tourists. A mystery to me why this arch is less busy with visitors, as the views are comparable and just as spectacular.
翻译:从商业广场 (Praça do Comércio) 上,您无法俯瞰奥古斯塔街 (Arca da Rua Augusta),它看上去像巴黎的凯旋门,但并非孤零零的,而是与相邻的建筑融为一体。它标志着奥古斯塔街 (Rue da Augusta) 的尽头,奥古斯塔街是一条主要的购物街,因此得名。它是街道上远离人群的完美避难所。持里斯本卡可免费进入。
现代化的电梯将带您到达二楼。从那里继续通过蜿蜒的楼梯到达顶层,从 30 米 (100 英尺) 高处欣赏城市美景。狭窄的楼梯是单向的,允许上下通行。有一个带红/绿灯的按钮表示可以自由通行。可惜的是,按钮旁边没有说明,所以人们必须通过艰难的方式了解按钮和红/绿灯的用途。协议很简单:按下按钮,等待灯变绿。如果您忽略它,您就有可能遇到其他朝相反方向走的游客,迫使您决定谁该掉头。
站在顶部的超大雕像旁边,您可以一边欣赏广场和塔霍河的美景,一边欣赏城市中的众多地标。这是圣胡斯塔电梯的完美替代品,那里有长长的游客队伍。我不知道为什么这座拱门没有那么多游客,因为景色同样壮观。
