Tram 28
It all begins with an idea.
Tram 28 Lisbon is a great way to see Lisbon’s famous sites and the medieval district of Alfama.
Tram 28 dates back to 1914 when the original horse drawn carriages that helped locals to travel through the winding streets and hills of Lisbon were replaced by the now iconic yellow electric carriages. The carriages are wonderfully preserved with wooden floors, timber window frames and yellow bodies.

It’s estimated that Tram 28 transports about 4.5 million passengers a year and so in peak season Tram 28 is very busy and fills up quite quickly. Often there is only standing room only so try to ride Tram 28 early in the morning to avoid the queues, grab a seat and have a great window view to get a feel for the ancient city of Lisbon.
There is seating for about 20 people and about another 25 standing and it can be quite cramped sometimes so please beware of pick pockets on Tram 28 and keep your belongings in a safe place.
