I'm from Lisbon and I love the tram 28, however, I advise you to be very careful with your pockets! It's the perfect way to meet our wonderful city, specially the old places! More

Everybody says it's a "must" in Lisbon, couldn't agree more. The tram itself is lovely, so old-fashioned and atmospheric. The way it squeezes in incredibly narrow streets is spectacular. We took it two times - first from Martim Moniz to Calzado da Gloria, from which we walked to a wonderful viewing point, second time took it all the way through,... More

Tram 28E visits most of the old neighborhoods of Lisbon. It's an up and down ride with views of the Tagus River, the Castle, and the hilly streets of the Alfama, Chiado, and Baixa.

When heading towards Jardim de Estrela, get off one stop before the gardens and walk uphill. Just after the stop there is a pastry shop (Pasteleria Estrela) immediately after the tram stop. Great espresso and custard tart for only €1.30! More

Riding the 28 tram is one of the Lisbon "must do" things. Some helpful tips: 1. Wait at a stop "28E" (Eletrico) since "28" is for the 28 bus! 2. It is more than a just a tourist sight - the route is excellent for moving between the Castelo (castle) area, Chiado (for shopping) and Bairro Alto (for restaurants and... More

My hubby and i loved tram 28, lots of stops so easy to get to, takes you up and down the narrow winding streets of different areas. Has a real vintage feel to it, we kept meaning to get off and walk but we couldnt bring ourselves to jump off before the end of the ride ! More
