Worst in the world, if I look at the tracking on my parcel it always goes really quickly until it arrives in Portugal where CTT seem to hold it forever. They used to have more branches but they closed them down in order to make people wait longer. If you look on google waiting times most people are waiting for 25 minutes or more here (I have even had to wait over an hour in the past). It's like a Soviet queue to recieve post. I thought that the royal mail was bad, but these people make that positively shine.

I think it's mainly a viewpoint for most people now (especially tourists), but I think it also is supposed to sort of be a connector to different levels of the city, a bit like a shortcut? It only costs a couple euros to go up. I personally didn't ride on it, but I watched it go up and down a few times. That felt like enough for me.

There's a lot of steps but the walkways are well kept and the best part was that it was fairly quiet. Along the path, you'll pass some nice ponds and gardens, along with some views of the town below. There's a couple of places to sit up to roughly the halfway point. Overall, it was about a 1 hour trek to Pena Palace.

My wife and I stopped in for a day trip, a stop on our transatlantic repositioning cruise from the UK to the US. This port is meant to be a terminus for major ocean cruise lines, and has the facilities to handle it. This includes a large waiting area, with comfortable seats, where one can sit and use the strong, free wi-fi to catch up on digital tasks. Once past this area, local information guides had set-up a series of booth to answer questions and sell bus/train tickets for the city. As normal, the two of us planned to explore the city by foot so didn't take advantage. There were quite a few excursions from our boat, and the large motorcoaches picking up passengers were lined up to pick up passengers. On the other side was the entrance into the city, with the requisite taxi drivers and guides looking for an impromptu tour. But I already knew where we wanted to go, and since it was less than 2 km, a leisurely walk was our choice. It was a good one as it took us through different parts of the oceanfront, mingling with locals and tourists, alike. The port has excellent public transportation choices, usable for people arriving to start their cruise or travelers arriving, ready to explore the rest of the city. Getting back on the ship was a cinch, with clear signs on where to go. A security officer did a cursory check of our cruise card, then went through security xray. The gangplank is direct, not the long winding path that some cruise terminals use. There were no bottlenecks...if necessary, it would be easy to get off/get on a boat multiple times. Not sure how it would be set-up for an actual embarkation (where customs and immigration would be necessary), but pretty confident it would work fine.
