A highlight of any visit to Lisbon is a ride on the number 28 tram. The route passes through many of Lisbon’s finest districts including Baixa, Graca, Alfama and Estrela but most visitors use it to climb the steep hill from Baixa to Alfama and the castle. Due to the undulating route only the classic Remodelado trams, which were originally commissioned in the 1930s, can navigate the steep inclines of the tracks. These trams that would be in a museum in any other city are an integral part of Lisbon public transport network and a ride on the number 28 tram is a highlight of any trip to Lisbon and highly recommended.The number 28 tram is the longest route in Lisbon, preforming a loop in the east of Baixa, Graca and Alfama before heading west to Estrela and Campo Ourique. This first section is the favourite with most tourist as the tram screeches through Alfama, passing the Se Cathedral and the Santa Luzia viewpoint. The westward section is equally as enjoyable and scenic with the Estrela district and the magnificent basilica a hidden gem of Lisbon.
