The legendary tram 28 is a tourist attraction in itself.

Vintage trams still go from the city centre on sea level, right up through the jumble of streets towards the heights of the Castle of St George. On the way, the tram slices open the city, providing insights into the Lisbon way of life, as well as offering sweeping views back towards the city and out over the Rio Tejo.

These antique style trams make it easy on the legs if you don't feel like trekking the hills :)

Crossing most of the old town, you may enter it at Chiado and it takes you westbound to Sta Catarina (sightseeing), S. Bento (Parliament and PM residence), and Estrela (Church); eastbound to Praca do Comercio (descend at R. Vitor Cordon), the Cathedral, Santa Luzia (sightseeing, and best place to start Alfama visit), the castle of S. Jorge (exit at Lg. Portas do Sol), S. Vicente (church, national pantheon, and thieves market two times a week), and Graca (church).

Don't miss it!

…just spend the rest of the day buying some souvenirs and going up and down the city in their trams, especially the two famous ones: tram 28 and tram 15...so a nice trip!. Next day we went to the surroundings but I will put that in another entry ok Last day, our flight was in the afternoon, so before we wanted to cross the Tejo River and go to see closer… Lisbon (Portugal)

First we went to the old city and took tram 28 to the top of the hills. The view was really great although it was a bit foggy. It's quite steep and so the tram (jammed with tourists ;)) had some difficulties going up! After we walked around a bit and visited Castelo Sao Jorge… Lisbon, a wonderful city

Spent day to tour in tram 28 (Martim Moniz-Campo de Ourique). I bought a daily pass (www.carris.pt) so I can explore all by myself and to treat myself to some astonishing places and sights. Some places in Lisbon that you have to visit: S. Vicente de Fora… a couple of days in Lisbon

We wandered into town and found an information desk and were told to get the Number 28 tram into the Alfama and go to the castle which is what we did. The castle was amazing, unfortunatly I didn't get in free, but a reduced rate is always nice. - Just one thing .. Ice creams are sooooo cheap in Portugal I couldn… Lisbon

We took a public tram (number 28) uphill to an old part of the city called Alfama. It was very picturesque as the tram ding-dinged its way through the steep narrow streets where it was so narrow you could touch the houses on either side. There… Ding Ding!
