Luckily, the start of Tram 28 was close to the hotel (Residential Florescente) so we certainly had good seats. The tram went through some narrow streets and very winding road. It's a good way to see Lisbon. more

Maybe because it was Easter Sunday we had a pleasant ride, not crowded, got seats & no problems from pick-pockets. We just had a great time riding around & enjoying the view along the way. Yes, this is a must do! We got off at the cathederal & then walked around Alfama. Got back on and enjoyed the ride back... more

Some others are correct when they wrote that this ride can be crowded. It is a steep climb but interesting ride through narrow and old streets up to the top of the hill crowned by the St. George castle. The hill is made easy by Tram #28. Have a nice view over the town, check out the castle, and then... more

Lisbon offers wonderful public transportation (like most of Europe), Tram Route 28 in Lisbon is one of those occasions where the public transit system and route also happen to be an attraction in and of itself. Tram route 28 is most often served by vintage tram cars that rattle and clack their way winding up and down the hills and... more

As others have said, this is a "don't miss" experience. Yes, it is often crowded, and you may or may not get a seat, and you won't really appreciate it until you do get a seat, so you should go more than once, if you have the time. Just be aware that if you get the tram at the Martim... more

Tram 28 is a rollercoaster ride through the oldest parts of the city taking in absurd hills, extremely narrow streets and breathtaking views. It gives you a taste of true Lisbon where hangers-on literally do so on the outside of the tram as it grinds up the hills and passenges shout abuse through the open windows at car drivers who... more

We walked up to the Castle from the Center of Lisbon, it only took us 30 minutes, but if you want to save your legs take this tram. We used it on the way down from the castle, and it took you down streets you wouldn't normaly see. Ealier in the year we'd been to San Fransisco, and had been... more

Waited for about half an hour for this experience. Then about five trams arrived, all packed like sardine cans. Decided to take the nr. 37 bus to the Castello. Less picturesque but definitely more comfortable! more
