A Homage To The Tram 28 And The Lisbon Trams In General
What would be Lisbon without its old Trams? A hilly city in which you have to invest a lot of sweat and muscles to explore but luckily there are the beautiful trams which have been running since 1873. In the early days they were pulled by horses but these days they run on electricity.
Talking of back in the days, Lisbon used to have 27 different tram lines throughout the city and over they years they got reduced to only five active ones BUT the city released now that it was a mistake to remove some of them and they're investing to revive some of the lines again.
And we agree, the more lines they have the better - it just adds such beautiful charm and makes the city of Lisbon very special.
The most famous line is probably the #28 taking you by the most iconic sights and views of Lisbon, winding its way through the city, going up and down the hills. Rather slow during the day but extremely fast at night when the roads are empty, as you can see in the video below:
This is actually our preferred time to ride the Tram #28 since you'll get a spot to sit down. During the day, especially if there are any kind of cruise ship anchored it's most of the time packed. This makes the ride rather unpleasant.
Or if you can, take it super early from Praça Martim Moniz and ride it all the way to the end to Cemeteiro dos Prazeres. There you can visit the beautiful cemetery which provides views of the 25 de Abril Bridge.
Below you'll find many more pictures and a POV video riding the 28 early in the morning. If you would like to read more about the trams of Lisbon, hit up this link.

Love the old world charm of these trams! I feel they add so much romance to the place. We have these trams running in Dallas in the downtown area (free) but they aren't used as a means of transport really. Just once in a while by people like me who want to act as tourists in their own city! :) Love, love, love your pictures!
Ah yes, I remember these Trams in Dallas, never have been there but seen photos. I'm a big supporter of good public transport. Thank you for the compliment!!!!
It's super cool to watch this footage right after I returned from Lisbon myself :D Thanks! I think the night shots are magical by the way :-)
Lisbon is magical .. hehe! If you have a moment, watch the Tram 28 night video ... it might make you sick! So much fun though!
Beautiful photos and beautiful Lisbon as always.
There is no way that you come back from a trip from Lisbon with bad pictures.
