Lisbon Hills Tramcar Tour

The Lisbon Hills Tramcar Tour takes you aboard the famous red Tram 28, one of the city's most celebrated transport routes. This historic tram winds through Lisbon's oldest quarters, including Alfama, Baixa, Graça and Estrela, passing colourful tiled buildings, traditional squares and significant landmarks. You'll see São Jorge Castle, enjoy panoramic views from Portas do Sol and travel through the heart of Praça do Comércio.

Your ticket provides 24-hour access to Tram 28 plus complimentary use of the Santa Justa Lift and Lisbon's three historic funiculars: Bica, Glória and Lavra.
