The trams and funiculars are very crowded, but it reminded me of the cable cars in San Francisco, with travellers hanging on to the running boards! I always love old things which are still performing an everyday function, so I was pleased to see them. More

Great way to go from one place to another but certainly should not take you out of your way to ride. Gloria funicular was old, funky, smelly and filled with grafitti - inside and out. Lisboa needs to stop selling spray paint! More

Most people are using the tram 28 to discover the Alfama quarter. Try to go opposite traversing the Barrio Alto until the Estrela Park. More

My husband's wallet was pick-pocketed on a crowded tram. The trams are standing room only and it is very for criminals to steal your wallet. We spent 3 hours in the Lisbon police station and many hours canceling our credit cards and trying to get some cash. The police were very nice but extremely slow. Pick-pocketing is apparently a big... More

The public transport system is very good but beware of pickpockets on Tram/Bus 15 between Lisbon and Belem. My friend had his wallet stolen by a short pregnant woman. She then proceeded to expose herself to show that she did not have the wallet. By this time it had been handed off to one of her many accomplices on the... More

Get them all, but stay with your eyes open, specialy on the tram 28, because of some bad experience. Nothing strange like in other big cities. More

Some have long lines and slow to get in, but so what? Also, get a daily pass on public trnasoprtation, which costs 5 euro and all of these will be included, otherwise, they are pretty expensive. More
