Tram 28 in Lisbon

Lisbon’s charming yellow ambassador

Tram number 28 is Lisbon’s charming yellow ambassador, gracefully navigating through the city’s most vibrant quarters. It’s a picture-perfect scene as its flung windows glide past the azulejo-clad buildings, over the city’s rolling hills, and through the stunning miradouros and squares—a must-do ride in Lisbon.

We recommend
The route starts on the charming hill in Graça (or in Martim Moniz Square in Baixa) and ends in Prazeres, taking you on a scenic journey through the historic heart of Lisbon, across the lively Baixa, up to the trendy Chiado and Estrela and finally winding down to Campo de Ourique.

Notes
Given Tram 28’s popularity, it can become quite crowded. To enjoy a more serene ride, start your journey at either end of the tram line: Graça, Martim Moniz or Prazeres.

This beloved tram line weaves a path from Graça to Prazeres, soaring through ancient districts, alongside regal palaces covering different eras.

Take a pause at the grand romanesque cathedral, thread through the bustling Baixa built after the great Earthquake in 1755, and ascends to reach the chic end-of-the-century shops and churches of Chiado and Estrela, culminating its picturesque voyage in the mid-century Campo de Ourique neighbourhood, at the romantically-styled gates of the Prazeres Cemetery.

As you embark on this essential Lisbon experience, each clatter and clang of the tram’s wheels is a note in the city’s daily concerto. For lisboetas this may be a mere means of everyday transportation, for visitors it is a tale of Lisbon’s soul. So, acept the invite, and hop aboard the number 28, find a cozy spot by the window, and let Lisbon tell you its story.
