The red line route that Tram 28 follows begins at Praça Martim Moniz, a lively public square to the east of the Baixa neighborhood. After traveling through the districts of Graça, Bairro Alto, and Alfama, the oldest part of the capital, the tram makes its last stop at Campo de Ourique.

Tram 28 passes must-see Lisbon attractions such as the Lisbon Cathedral (Sé de Lisboa), the oldest church in the capital; the yellow Ascensor da Bica, which looks like a tram but is actually a funicular railway; and the Romanesque Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, perched on one of Alfama’s highest points.

The best side to sit on when riding Tram 28 depends on which direction you’re coming from. If you’re boarding at Praça Martim Moniz, sit on the left side; take the right if you’re getting on at Campo de Ourique. You’re much more likely to get a seat if you board at Campo de Ourique.

The secret’s out about Tram 28, so the tram can get extremely crowded; you might not be able to board it during the peak summer months. If you want a quieter alternative that follows a similar route, opt for Tram 12, which also departs from Praça Martim Moniz.
