The most widely known is Tram no. 28 that runs from Martim Moniz to Campo de Ourique. Although you can hop on at any point, the route starts in the historical centre, Largo Martim Moniz (square), heading to the Gra?a quarter and continuing to the Church of S?o Vicente de Fora.

The most iconic and popular tram in Lisbon is the Tram 28 (Elétrico 28), famous for its historic yellow "Remodelado" carriages that date back to the 1930s. This specific line is beloved by tourists because its route functions like a budget-friendly sightseeing tour, winding through the city’s most historic and steepest neighborhoods, including Alfama, Baixa, Estrela, and Graça. The sight of the wooden tram screeching and rattling through impossibly narrow cobblestone alleys—sometimes with only inches to spare from local doorsteps—is a quintessential Lisbon experience. In 2026, the tram remains a vital part of the public transport network, though it is frequently crowded with visitors hoping to capture the perfect photograph of its vintage interior. For a slightly less congested experience with similar views, many locals recommend the Tram 12, which does a shorter loop through the castle district. Regardless of the line, these "iron giants" are more than just transport; they are moving national monuments that have navigated the city's seven hills for over a century, defying the modernization that has replaced trams with buses in most other European capitals.
