Well, many Christian denominations along with other religions believe so, but there is also a school of thought that holds that at least hell is not eternal. This is due to the original words in The Bible that were translated into "forever", "all time", etc. were olam (hebrew word) or aion (greek word) which actually mean "for that duration", "for that age", "until the end of the matter", etc. showing that hell indeed would not necessarily be eternal

Once you go to hell is there any way to go up to heaven?

If there were, then it would be hell. Heaven, by definition, is being in the presence of God, i.e. eternal happiness, eternal joy, eternal fulfillment. Hell is the exact opposite, eternal frustration, eternal pain, an eternity without God, and eternity of unhappiness. Both of them are eternal, which does NOT mean that they last for "a long time", it means that they are an unchanging, and unchangeable . In other words, the very essence of hell is the absence of hope. The possibility of leaving hell would be hopeful, there is no hope in hell, so no, you can never leave it, nor even hope to leave it.
