The ride on tram 28 is a great way to see some of the sites in Lisboa. However, the tram was overcrowded most of the time. The nice thing is that you can pay with the 24 hour metro card, making hopping off when it gets overcrowded a possibility.

Once we had found where to get the 6 euro day pass to the metro ,buses and trams ( from the Metro ticket machine) it was the best value trip ever. Mixing with the locals that also use the trams we enjoyed a trip of around 50 minutes each way . We had no trouble but the many warnings of... More

We could not get a seat and the ride was bumpy, go when it's not busy (not sure when this would be) otherwise would recommend just strolling around instead. Also we were strongly warned to be on guard for pick pockets on this tram, so beware.

Picked the tram up just 2 stops from the end then got back on at the Church and had a bumpy but exhilerating journey back down. There were seats but Ichose to stand at the rear where you get a great view looking back and was able to take photos as we trundled through the street, making stops to let... More

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!
