To popular for its own good. It's nice to ride along on a rattling old tram through the narrow streets. But unless you really want to ride it until the end and the cemetery, then save yourself the hassle and the incredible queues. Get the Number 12. It does practically the same route through the old town and the narrow streets. Nowhere near as popular because you've all been told get #28. Almost guaranteed a seat and just as good a ride.

Tram line 28 is probably the most popular route in Lisbon. Can get rather crowded but it is lots of fun rattling through the scenic narrow streets. You can buy a ticket from the driver for €2 for a single ride. The better way is to buy a 24h ticket for around €7, but you can’t get that on the tram. It makes financially more sense, allows you to ride as often as you would like and includes subway, funicular and the other tram lines, but you need to get it from a ticket booth or one of those little newspaper stands.

Horrible experience today. We waited in line for 2 hours, only to have 2 rude locals cut in front of us, then after boarding we're told it's only a 10 minute ride rather than the usual 30+ (due to some stupid Catholic holiday). No signs. No advance warning. It's just a tram... observe from the street and maintain your sanity.

An overrated tourist attraction. The price was reasonable. Waited over an hour for a crowded tram. We were told the duration of the ride would be an hour however it lasted 30 minutes and we were told to alight in a random suburban location. Most of the journey was uncomfortable. The trams are aesthetically pleasing from the outside.Overall this was an unenjoyable experience.

Great fun both night and day. Free if you have the Viva 24 hour pass. You stop off at a number of places Alfama or just do the full circular route. Do not learn out of the windows unless you want to loose your head 😂

Had to wait for like 20 mins, but absolutely worth it! This tram takes you to the most beautiful parts of the city. It's a nice 50 mins ride.

Very rude operaters. Expected to have exact change and, while the ride was stopped due to a broken down vehicle and asked to continue with another tram (with the same ticket), we were kicked out because we wanted to use the same ticket as instructed. Operator refused to check. Disappointing experience.

Not worth the 2 hour wait. Be advised!! Rides till cemetary. There you need to queue again to get back. Little to none alternatives from there. Take the 12. It’s a shorter ride, but with 100% relevance ;)

Well worth it. Avoid queues by starting your trip early. (08:00h) We walked back from the final destination to the center instead of taking the tram again. Don't let yourself be put off by all the negative comments.

This was interesting for a short time until you realized how rough the ride is. It isn’t a loop so it will take you a long way from anywhere you want to be. We jumped out and took a taxi back to our hotel.

I feel like back 1930s at the 🚋 good experience and you can see some piece of city, price is only 3€ (sep'21) so you are there _ go ahead!!!

A lovely train ride and it was thrilling as never expected that at certain route it will run so fast in by lanes of Lisbon.

You can’t see much from tram but worth a €3 to have a ride on very old tram.

WAY OVERRATED TOURIST TRAP! We waited for over an hour for this ride. It's luck of the draw in regards to your seats whenever the tram does arrive. If you are an unlucky and have to stand the entire ride then you really can't see much. Be aware that this tram also serves locals who ride it to get from point to point. On our particular ride we were all kicked off the tram barely a few stops into the route with no explanation of why we had to exit. So your options were to pay more money for either a taxi or hire another site seeing service like the Tut Tut , or wait for another tram that was definitely going to be crowded. If I could give less than a star I would have. Save your money and time and avoid this non customer service based trap.

Wird in jedem Reiseführer empfohlen und zu recht! Aber dementsprechend immer voll, gerade bei der geringen Größe der Tram kein Wunder. Aber: Zeit einplanen, bis zu einer Endhaltestelle fahren (nicht Moniz) und so Sitzplatz ergattern. Stehplatz ist nicht das Selbe! Besondere Empfehlung: erst am Ende des Trips machen, wenn man alles bereits gesehen hat und die Beine vom vielen Herumlaufen etwas müde sind. Von der Tram aus lässt sich alles entspannt nochmal anzuschauen (oft sieht man es nur teilweise / kurz).

Tatsächlich eine Sensation. Wir waren gegen 9.30 Uhr an der ersten Station Martim Moniz und es waren schon einige Leute vor uns, dennoch hatten wir grosses Glück zwei Sitzplätze zu ergattern, die wir auch auf unserer Tour bis zur Endhaltestelle behalten durften. Unglaublich was so eine kleine Tram alles an Belastung (bergauf-bergab) aushalten muss. Für die Portugiesen die diese Strecke auch als normale Tagesroute benutzen gar nicht lustig diese Fahrt mit vielen Touristen teilen zu müssen aber für einen Touristen absolut empfehlenswert.

A must do in Lisbon. Get the day pass from a train station and use that for this service too.

Horrible experience. The tram arrives in the middle of nowhere. Pretty much impossible to sit down for a whole ride

Took the tram during the night and it was okay, as it was dark a lot of things got missed. The other thing to consider is that there are currently a lot of construction work being done so...

Rattled its way up and down the steep and narrow streets. Great fun with the window down, watching the crowds watching you. We waited 30 minutes but it was dusk on a Sunday. The east end start point address is in one of my pix.

Classic trip but can get very crowded. I rode it at 8.30 am on a Sunday and it was just me and 4 or 5 locals, so early seems best. The No 12 does a similar journey and generally tends to be less busy. But a good way to see the old city and beyond.

Most amazing experience over here is tram.super cool I like it

Pin is wrongly placed.

Great way to explore the city, especially off peak times.
