Tram 28
Tram 28 in Lisbon is a historic tram route offering a scenic journey through the city's key neighborhoods, including Graça, Alfama, and Baixa. It's renowned for its vintage charm and is a popular way for tourists to explore Lisbon's architecture and landmarks. The tram’s route covers various attractions and provides an authentic experience of Lisbon's traditional transport. How much does it cost? €3 at the time of writing, and you can pay in cash on the tram, but your best option is to get a day-pass Viva Viagem ticket (from any metro station), which means you can hop on and off public transport as many times as you like. Where can I find Tram 28? The Tram 28 route runs between Martim Moniz, near the centre of Lisbon, out to Campo de Ourique. It stops at multiple locations along the way, so if you don’t want to start at either end of the line, simply look out for the trams marked “28” or “28E”, and get on at any of the marked stops.
