Tram number 28 in Lisbon connects Martim Moniz with Campo Ourique and travels through the popular tourist districts of Graca, Alfama, Baixa and Estrela. For visitors, this is a classic - you drive in the lovable yellow tram, which makes its way through the narrow streets of the city in a clattering way.
A ride along the entire route of the Tram 28 offers one of the best tours in the capital and is often a highlight of any holiday in Lisbon.
Drive the tram early in the morning (or late in the day) to avoid the crowds.
• Join Martim Moniz (or Campo Ourique) for a better chance of getting a seat.
• Be aware of pickpockets (more information below).
• Buy the 24-hour public transport ticket from any metro station.
• Drive the entire route, because there is so much to see (more information below).
• If you have a standing room, hold on tight. The brakes of the tram are very strong!
A single ticket in the tram costs € 3.00. A much better option is the 24-hour public transport ticket, including metro, tram and bus. This ticket costs € 6.40, but annoyingly can only be bought at the ticket machines in the metro stations. ,
Insider tip: This 24-hour ticket offers excellent value for money as it includes the Elevador de Santa Justa, the Elevador da Glória and various journeys along the E28 route.
