"The best way to get to Campo de Ourique is by tram. Climb from the center, enjoy the ride 'til the last stop (Cemitério dos Prazeres) and then get lost in the grid of Campo the Ourique." - Fluor
"If you’re in search of Belém’s cultural and culinary adventures, you can simply hop on the sleek No. 15 tram from the city center to get around. But it’s the No. 28 that every visitor should weave into their itinerary. These vintage Remodelado streetcars, wooden and painted yellow, are a throwback to another era. In peak season, you could be waiting for an hour to board one of these beauties. But that retro feel, perched on a bench as the tram clatters its way through the city’s narrow streets and blares its horn, is priceless." - Alia Akkam, Chadner Navarro
"Tram 28 The city’s iconic wood-paneled Tram 28 rambles along a 4.3-mile route from Campo de Ourique to Praça Martim Moniz, navigating tight turns and steep inclines as it passes some of Lisbon ’s most endearing attractions. Originally commissioned in the 1930s, these classic Remodelado trams were in fact enlisted for their ability to handle Lisbon’s hilly terrain. They can get painfully crowded—wait times can be outrageous in the high season—so catch an early ride (5:40 a.m. most weekdays, or 6:45 a.m. on Sundays) for unobstructed views of hilltop neighborhoods like Graça and the Alfama."

A cool piece of history to take part in - the wait was pretty long, around an hour and a half to hop on, and the tram carried on filling to uncomfortable levels, with the driver not being in an overly good mood on the matter.
A really good way to see the city, but we did get some advice that it's a lot quieter in the evening- so this would be our plan if we ever did it again

Hop on for a wild ride through great narrow streets with a mix of amazing buildings, perfect sightseeing & awesome photo opportunities.
Lisbon is a fun city with a great vibe and awesome traditionally flavour too.
Get there early, arrived by 9am & waited 50 mins. Make sure you wait for a seat, as it can feel like an amusement park ride with the sudden stops & ascending/ descending streets.
Like lisbon itself so worth a visit. ❤️🇵🇹

A Unique Experience Not to Be Missed!
We arrived at the tram stop shortly after 10 a.m. and found a long queue already forming. After waiting for about an hour and a half, we finally boarded around 11:30 a.m. Although the wait was long, it was absolutely worth it!
Riding the tram through the narrow, winding streets of Lisbon is a one-of-a-kind experience. Videos don’t do it justice—you truly have to be on the tram to feel the charm and excitement for yourself. It’s a fun and unforgettable way to see the city!

The famous wooden yellow tram 28 is a symbol of Lisbon. It passes through well-known parts of the city and is always crowded. You haven't been to Lisbon if you haven't taken a ride on this tram. Get to the Martim Moriz or Campo Ouriqure starting station early in the morning if you want to grab a spot. Raise the wooden window and enjoy

The tram is fun and worth it. If you go early you can get in the cue early and have a seat. We did and it was worth it. We sat through the entire journey watching the locals hop on and off as they clung on to the sides of the moving trams. It’s a fantastic way to see a good part of the city that is hills and more hills without having to manage walking them.

It is totally not worth your time (1-2 hours) staying on the line and waiting for the tram 28. It is better to walk through the city or use another tram/ bus.
So if to use it then during the day (especially sunny day). We waited for the tram for an hour and ended up in the middle of nowhere - after what we waited for a bus to get back to the center. In these two and a half hours we could have seen more sightseeing in the center, walked in the beautiful gardens/ parks and enjoyed the sunset on the pier.

Ride in a legendary Lisbon yellow wooden tram and take in the sights on the tourist route. You can get off at any stop if you see something you like the look of.The queue to get on is quite long but worth the wait. You can pay by card on board or buy a ticket in advance from the both right by the team pick up spot.

cool and gets you places. went in at 9pm at got a seat. just don't try to enter in the valley next to main tourist area. but rather somewhere on on of the two hill sides and you will be good. ticket price is 3.20€ while normal metro/ bus ticket costs 1.80€. still quite alright. and also better than walking all the time. short disclaimer: might be pressed in like sardines and also do not recommend if you have to commute everyday to work lol
