Tram route No. 28 is deservedly a Lisbon icon. Its diminutive single-truck streetcars (locally known as eléctricos) are each rated for a maximum of 58 passengers, 38 seated and 20 standing, but when they were designed (in the early 1900s) people were smaller -- and they did not carry backpacks. You'll find them incredibly packed and uncomfortable, but the noisy,... More

It's a traditional tram trip. We took it from the south end of Rosso square. Tickets from the shop just on the right of the square/track. Up the steep hills of Lisbon to a good view point above of the river. It was very crowded and a bit noisy , but the experience is ok. The trip takes you through... More

this little tram takes you everywhere but it is very crowded at all times of the day. It can also be stuck behind improperly parked cars and may require long waits. It is worth it because it goes to all the nice places of Lisbon. A day pass is the best way to go since you can go on and... More

A must to do in Lisbon. See main tourists attractions. Meet local people who also use this train. Enjoy narrow streets of Alfama.

Tram 28 is a great way to visit Lisbon, especially if you want to spend a few hours relaxing on a cloudy day. However, the ride does not seem to pass in front of Lisbon`s main attractions, and if it did we had no way of knowing as no explanations or maps were offered throughout the tour. Keep in mind...

It's a great way to see old town Lisbon. I remeber the old trollys in Atlanti City , its a blast from the past.It's not the S.F. cable cars but its a great option to a tour or taxi ride, just not that big

The ride on tram 28 is a great way to see some of the sites in Lisboa. However, the tram was overcrowded most of the time. The nice thing is that you can pay with the 24 hour metro card, making hopping off when it gets overcrowded a possibility.

Once we had found where to get the 6 euro day pass to the metro ,buses and trams ( from the Metro ticket machine) it was the best value trip ever. Mixing with the locals that also use the trams we enjoyed a trip of around 50 minutes each way . We had no trouble but the many warnings of... More
