Tram 28 stopped right outside our rental apartment and since Lisbon is very hilly this was a great way to travel. It can get very crowded at certain times of day but we did not have any trouble on it and people were very courteous.

A travel in time, the old trams are simply wonderful. Excellent views, a very calm and intimate stroll. I hope they never change! It is like going for a ride in the past. Very enjoyable!

Tram 28 is one of the funnest ways to see the city as it goes up and down the steep hills of Lisbon. Most people don't realize that it's not a circular route so you have to hop off at the end of the ride which ever way you're going. And it does get really crowded. My advice is to... More

It's a tram ride. I'd rather walk and not have a billion tourists swing their backpacks in my face every 5 minutes. So in the future I'll just take pictures when it drives by.

We really enjoyed riding the tram from the area near the ocean and City Hall up to Saint George's castle. When we boarded the tram continuing in the same direction again we expected it to turn around at some point and head back down hill. However, when it reached the point to turnaround, it stopped and we were ordered to... More

This is the best way to see the hilly parts of the city. A bit crowded, but fun! We liked the atmosphere and the authentic old cable cars!

Tram 28 takes you to the cathedral and its only a few mins walk to the castle.Fantastic views, and a pleasant walk back to town via the Alfama district.

If you go to Lisbon, you have to take the Tram 28 at least once. That what we did it. Be aware of your belongings because the tram is a tourist route.

Tram 28 is without doubt the best way to get a flavour of Lisbon. No matter what your guide book says, a Carris 6 Euro day pass IS valid for all journeys on this tram, and for lifts and funiculars too. The trams are living, working antiques and tackle some improbably steep inclines and the narrowest of streets. From window... More
