Tram 28: Lisbon’s Iconic Ride Through History
The public transport that has been the face of Lisbon since the early twentieth century climbs and winds its way up the medieval streets that crawl over the city’s hills. Tram 28 is available for private hire for your group through Go Discover Portugal.
The route begins in Martim Moniz and threads through the oldest districts of the city, making it one of the most beloved ways to discover Lisbon. The tiny carriages, some dating back to 1930, remain in active service today because they are the only vehicles narrow enough to pass through the tight streets of the historic quarters.
Rising and falling like a vintage rollercoaster
Tram 28 can be ridden by anybody, as it is simply a public transport line, and it is always full. As it climbs and descends the hills of Lisbon, it passes through Graca, Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela, four neighbourhoods that together capture the soul of old Lisbon, swinging past whitewashed facades, hidden miradouros, centuries old churches, and glimpses of the Tagus River below.
For groups, Tram 28 can also be hired as a private tour accompanied by drinks or snacks, turning a simple ride into a special occasion and a genuine taste of everyday Lisbon life.
