History

The yellow trams are called Remodelado or
re-modeled as these trams date from the 1930s.;
Yes, these charming rickety trams are old and would been consigned
to a museum in other countries- but in Lisbon they are still in use and
one of the most sought after mode of transportation among tourists.

Called Tram 28, it
connects some of the most
popular and most historic tourist attractions
as it passes through districts of Graca, Alfama,
Baixa and Estrela, a dream route for visitors.
We took the Tram in front
of the Fabrica Das
Engiuas,
…to the Miraduro de
Santa Luzia,
...on our way to the
Castelo de Sao Jorge.

We again rode it from Portas do Sol,
...on our way to the Lisbon Se.
The tram ride took us back to the past

and the brakes may fail as it navigates the steep

A ride on the Tram 28 provides one of
the best classic historic tours of the city ,
