Elevadors and streetcars

Lisbon is a hilly city so there's a great network of streetcars, and these funky elevadors to assist weary pedestrians.
This elevador was made by a guy who, quite obviously, was an associate of Gustave Eiffel. There were also metro stops (didn't get a picture) that looked exactly like the ones Guimard designed in Paris.
Old train station.
Could have lived on pastries alone for the week. I still haven't stopped fantasizing about the egg custard ones, though Nathan assured me that there were hundreds of other great pastries to try.
