À propos de Tram 28
Tram 28 runs a 7-kilometre route across Lisbon's steepest hills, using vintage yellow Remodelado-class cars built mostly in the 1930s-40s with polished wood-panelled interiors and manually operated wheel brakes still in daily service. The line links Martim Moniz in the east through Graça, Alfama, the Baixa grid, Chiado, and Estrela to Campo de Ourique (Prazeres) in the west, a journey of roughly 40-50 minutes end to end if ridden the full length without disembarking. The narrow-gauge track and tight hairpin turns near the Miradouro das Portas do Sol and through Alfama's lanes are engineering constraints from the tram's original early-20th-century construction, not a tourist affectation — the cars genuinely could not be widened without rebuilding entire streets. The route is one of the only ways to see Alfama's steepest lanes without walking the full climb, though the trade-off is that the same qualities that make it scenic also make it one of Lisbon's most reliable pickpocketing hotspots, a reputation Carris and Lisbon police both openly acknowledge.
Meilleur moment de la journée : 07:00-08:30. At or near the Martim Moniz terminus, before school and commuter traffic and well before the mid-morning tourist queue.

Histoire de Tram 28
Lisbon's tram network dates to 1873 with horse-drawn cars, electrified starting in 1901, and Route 28 in its current form was established to link neighbourhoods across the city's hills that other transit could not efficiently reach given the gradient and narrow medieval street widths, particularly through Alfama and Graça. The Remodelado-class cars still running the line today were built primarily by Portuguese manufacturer Santo Amaro and the Carris workshops from the late 1930s through the 1940s, refurbished periodically rather than replaced, which is why the wood panelling and manual brake systems remain original in character even as safety systems have been modernised.
Carris expanded and then substantially reduced Lisbon's overall tram network through the mid-20th century as buses took over most routes, leaving a handful of heritage lines — 12, 15, 18, 24, and 28 — as the survivors, with 28 becoming the best known internationally due to its hill-and-monument-dense route through the historic centre.
Règles et étiquette à Tram 28
Standing room is common and the cars are genuinely small — seating for around 20-28 passengers depending on the car — so during peak tourist hours it is common to be unable to board at all at popular stops and need to wait for a later tram. Pickpocketing is a well-documented risk specifically on this route due to the crowding; keep bags zipped and in front of the body, and avoid keeping a wallet in a back pocket.
Priority seating near the front is reserved for elderly, pregnant, or disabled passengers by social convention rather than strict enforcement. Tickets or a validated transit card must be tapped or shown on boarding; fare inspectors do board and issue fines for unvalidated travel.
Conseils pour visiter Tram 28
- 1
Boarding at Martim Moniz rather than at a mid-route stop like Praça do Comércio or the Alfama viewpoints dramatically improves the odds of getting a seat, since the tram is largely empty at its eastern terminus and fills progressively westward. Riding the full route in one direction without stopping is the most efficient way to see the changing character of the neighbourhoods; hopping on and off at will costs a fresh fare each time unless using a day pass.
- 2
An overlooked alternative is Tram 12, a shorter circular route sharing much of the same Alfama and Graça track with far thinner crowds — a useful substitute for travellers mainly after the hill scenery rather than the specific 28 experience. The steepest and most photogenic stretch is the climb from Largo Portas do Sol down into the Baixa grid, best watched from a west-facing window seat if boarding eastbound.

FAQ — Tram 28
How much does Tram 28 cost in Lisbon?
A single ride paid in cash on board costs €3.30 as of 2026. Using a Viva Viagem card with Zapping credit lowers the fare to roughly €1.72-€1.90 per ride, and a 24-hour Carris/Metro pass at €7.25 is better value for travellers riding trams or the metro more than twice in one day.
Where does Tram 28 start and end?
The route runs 7 kilometres between Martim Moniz in the east and Campo de Ourique (Prazeres) in the west, passing through Graça, Alfama, the Baixa grid, Chiado, and Estrela. The full end-to-end journey takes roughly 40-50 minutes.
Is Tram 28 safe from pickpockets?
Pickpocketing is a documented, well-known risk on this specific route due to how crowded the small vintage cars get, particularly through Alfama. Keeping bags zipped and positioned in front of the body, and avoiding a wallet in a back pocket, significantly reduces the risk.
What is the best place to board Tram 28 to get a seat?
Martim Moniz, the eastern terminus, gives the best odds of a seat because the tram starts largely empty there and fills progressively as it moves west through Alfama and Baixa. Boarding at a mid-route stop like Praça do Comércio or a popular Alfama viewpoint often means standing room only or waiting for a later tram.
