We had read travel Lisbon and they said you could pay the driver by cash. After waiting an hour in line the driver grumpily said only credit card or tickets. Luckily my friend had her card. The driver ended up hitting the number of people to 3 so we ended up paying for 3 not 2. The tram gets completely stuffed even on a Sunday morning. It is amazing how narrow some of the streets are that it travels on. It felt almost like you were on an amusement ride. We rode on it as it is iconic. It certainly is an experience

Although it is the most famous of Lisbon for walking through the most picturesque places of the city it is no different (neither better nor worse) than other lines. It was a great experience as it is a transport that takes you to the beginning of the last century. The ride itself is not very comfortable (if you do not have a seat) as the tram is small, squeaks a lot and gives the impression that it will break down at any time. But it's fascinating. We always took it on a parallel to the Plaza del Comercio and made the whole line. It is a good idea to catch it already in the evening because at the stops there are always queues and at that time they are quite short queues. The single ticket is very expensive (€3) and if you don’t have it under control, you can get on and finish two stops later having to pay again. The much better to have a 24-hour transportation card. One thing... very unkindness in the drivers of the different Lisbon transports. If you can... avoid asking them anything.

We stayed during February so not in the summer but still got up early to be able to experience the tram properly. We waited until after most of rush hour as not to hinder the locals and arrived at the tram stop around 8.35am and a tram appeared within 2 mins. The queue was very short at this time in the morning and we all boarded and got a seat. Loved the ride through the Alfama area and enjoyed watching the driver still don’t know how the steering works! The highlight is passing the cathedral of course. At the end everyone must get off we chose to just ride one way but you can go back. Note is is a shorter ride at the moment than normal due to works on the track I believe. If you can buy a navigante card for your trip around Lisbon, they are easy to use on buses, metro and makes the tram ride cheaper. As I say I recommend making the effort to get up early for the tram as we say it go past us many times later in the day and it was packed lots of people standing and no seats

The small size of the car and the limited number of passengers that can ride it at one time due to the streetcars traveling through narrow alleys make it like a train during commuting hours in Japan. For these reasons, it is almost impossible to get from the intermediate stops. In addition, it is said that it is mostly tourists who ride, which is closer to tourist attractions than to the feet of locals, and therefore there is a lot of pickpocketing on the train, so measures against pickpocketing are necessary. If you catch the first train in the early hours of the morning from the Martín Moniz stop, you can get there with relatively little waiting time and enjoy the historic streets of the Alfama district, including the Cathedral. For this reason, it is Recommendation to ride in the early hours of the morning.

Tram 28 offers a short ride through the narrow lanes of the neighborhood, passing by charming shops and restaurants before reaching the heart of the city, where you can explore or enjoy a meal. Tickets, priced at around €2.20, can be purchased onboard. It's best to board at the starting point. Although the wait time was long, the experience provides a delightful glimpse of the neighborhood.

Tour of the legendary Tram 28 of Lisbon that takes you around the beautiful Alfama district with only € 2.20 each that you pay on the Tram to the driver himself at the climb in cash (or with a day card purchased elsewhere). If you take it down from Praca do Comercio, you should get off when you get to the lookout from which you can see the cruise ships down in the harbor and then go back on foot and visit the Cathedral and the steep alleys of Alfama. In fact, the tram makes a loop going up to the Castle and then descending towards the center: at the terminus you are forced to get off anyway and you can not stay on board to do the round again. Tram always very crowded with tourists and locals. Always beware of pickpockets!

Riding the vintage tram 28 is like a journey back in time. The classic yellow exterior of the historic tram from the 1930s and the smell of the wooden interior as it trundles through hilly medieval-looking streets certainly provides the nostalgic vibes. Taking up to an hour to complete its scenic 7 km route between Martim Moniz Square and the Campo de Ourique district, the tram takes you through some of the city's most instagram-worthy spots, especially the narrow mazy streets of Alfama district. As one of Lisbon's most popular tourist attractions, expect the tram to be almost perpetually crowded. Getting onto the tram can indeed be a rather unpleasant experience. Even if you think you could circumvent this by boarding the tram at its starting point, think again! The queue to board may be up to 2 hours! So your best bet is to board early before 9 a.m. (the tram starts its day just before 6 a.m.). Riding on the tram is included in the Lisboa Card. Definitely a must-do while you're in Lisbon, so.......... board this vintage 'time machine' for an unforgettable travel back in time experience!

I'm going against the grain...I didn't like it. I had already been to Lisbon and I toured it all, it was beautiful; this time I wanted to try the famous tram, but I was disappointed. Price 3 euros for a city tour, obviously without a guide, crossing alleys and streets without art or part

What to do if you have time and are visiting Lisbon. I advise you to top up your public transit card in advance so that the journey costs you only €1.40 (if you buy directly in the tram count double.) The entire martim moniz - camoe square journey takes about 40 minutes and you will pass many tourist places in Lisbon. Ideal! If you want to make the entire trip come early in the morning because there is a long queue. You will wait about 30min but will be seated. If you have the flemme and you don’t care if you’re standing go a stop further (there’s always room but you’ll be standing). Indeed, the tram is never fully filled so that people can get in it at each stop.)

You can't go to Lisbon without taking a tour on the legendary tram 28 which, in addition to being overrun by tourists, is normally used by the inhabitants to reach some areas of the city with narrow, uphill alleys. The complete tour starts and arrives from Piazza Martim Moniz, but if when you arrive there is a very long queue and it would take hours before you can get on you have two alternatives: either go with a private Touk Touk (small ape cars and toy cars with drivers who illustrate the route), or if you decide to use the public transport day ticket, the advice is to arrive with a bus to the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, for example the number 737 which leaves from Piazza Figuera and also has a stop for the Sé, the cathedral of Lisbon, and from Miradouro take tram 28, where if there is still room you can get on (20 people seated and 38 standing). Perseverance is rewarded.
