Speaking O. Lisbon, it is impossible not to mention the famous Tram 28. - ELECTRICO 28.. First, this route (cm. map downstairs) is not excursion, with several tramsAnd regular on the route there are vintage cars Brill. Building the beginning of the XX century. This is perhaps the most famous and largest "old" tram system in the world. In addition, unlike other cities in the world, this is not imitation and not stylization, but the original, slightly upgraded structure, ranging from the wagons and ending with the paths and routes.

Secondly, from the window you can see many attractions Lisbon. Yes, and the historical tram itself decorates center Lisbon and refers to K. attractions. Tram leaves from Square Martim Monis and quickly rises to the hill yes Grassa. Then follows through the ancient area AlfamaWhere the streets are so narrow that you can touch the wall!

Residents have to give way to tram.
Further tram drives cathedral Cathedral of La Se., Looking platform Santa Luzia, crosses the area Baishawhere you can watch the funicular yes Gloria, and rises again to the hill, in the quarter Shiada.

My advice is necessary to ride 2 times because tram Though the old one, but runs faster than our new, so you just have time to turn your head. And the second time you already need to take pictures or shoot a video. Therefore, offering you to view photoI ask strictly not to judge that little beauty.

To cities in which there are trams, I feed a special love. In this row, not yet seen San Francisco and Istanbul, who has already come true Lisbon, partly Vienna and Milan. Probably, childhood, spent in the city with a very extensive tram network affects. When I was small, I was all the time surprised by adults, which, moving through the tramways, did not come on rails, not completely immersed in the ground, and stepped over them. It seemed terribly entertaining to get up on the rail and a couple of seconds to measure, being higher than I actually. At the tram, we went to the concerts in Philharmonic, I was curly curls and scented with pink oil. In short, I love trams, this is the most humane type of transport, in my opinion. In any city, I want to ride on the tram, sit by the window, look into the street and on people. The husband of my tram hobbies does not share, so more and more I see life not from the tram, but from a taxi. But in Lisbon I won: our first day we started with the familiarity with tram number 28.



It passes through the entire center, overcoming the inconceivable number of slides and hill on its path. To take comfortable places, it is better to go with the initial stop, Campo OURIQUE. Until the final stop, Martim Moniz, the tram goes for about 40 minutes. The distance in fact turns out to be small, and the duration of the trip is associated with frequent stops and with the fact that in the narrow and steep Lisbon streets an old tram is not accelerated. The ticket can be bought from the driver, it costs 2.85 euros. In the next photo - just the driver of our tram.

The tram route lies by the Commerce Square (Praca Do Comercio), passes by the Cathedral (SE), loops on the unintelligible streets of the alphaba, the oldest district of the city, closing on the very top. Most tourists come out near the castle (Castello), but you can drive on, to the final, and already from there, without losing sight of the tramways, start going down.

Ride in the tram, of course, not only tourists, although it is for them in the cabin hanging plates warning about pockets. On the 28th route a lot of local, we even got some two Russian-speaking marginal, who were clearly arriving in Portugal.

Inside the car is very small. It is difficult to stand in it, standing with the camera - even more difficult, because the tram turns all the time, rushes, climbs up the mountain or rushing down. I, honestly, I got sick.

Figure tram rails is a separate story. They turn sharply and often, for greater maneuverability, the tram has only four wheels shifted to the center. Special cargoes are placed in front and rear, increasing turning stability.

In some places, only one pair of rails is laid, so drivers (car trampers?) Have to skip trams going towards towards.

Their yellow trams of Lisbon are called amarelathose. Yellow. Red trams are excursion routes created by one of the tourist companies in the city. On the red we did not ride, because the best route than №28, for acquaintance with the city and you will not come up with.

In some particularly steep places there are cable lifts, they are essentially the same as in San Francisco.

There is a lift, by the way, more expensive than the tram is 3.5 euros. The path that you see on the photo from above is the entire route of this lift, there are 400 meters, no more. We passed all the way on foot, it's not so difficult, but, probably, if it is necessary to do it regularly, then without a lift will be hard. Maybe here residents give preferential tickets?

In the car trades, probably take only young attractive men who are well sitting sunglasses. It is also a tram driver, advises some tourists.

I hope the tram will lead me to San Francisco, where trams are collected from many countries, there are even old Milan copies.

Do you like trams and ride public transport on trips? Do not go to a certain place, but just sit down in a tram or bus and go with the locals in the unknown? Or is it alone so abnormal?

Tram number 28, next to the San Benth district

Removal trams "Remodeldo" (i.e., modernized), which appeared in 1930, have long been the museum exhibits in any other city, but in Lisbon they are an integral part of the public transport network of the city. These vintage trams are still used, as the 28 route is completely unsuitable for modern trams, due to the many steep turns, turns, lifts and descents.

A trip all over the route is not only a great way to get acquainted with the Portuguese capital, but also one of the brightest and memorable moments during any visit to Lisbon. In this article you will find information about Tram No. 28, including the fare, as well as useful tips and a brief story about popular tourist attractions located along the tram movement route.

A trip to the tram is best to make early in the morning (or in the evening) to avoid a crowd of people.
If you sit in the tram on the square Martim Monis (or Campo Ourik), you will have a chance to go through the tram sitting.
Always beware of pockets (see below).

Pockets and tram 28e

It is very sad that you have to devote a whole section of pockets who chose a 28 tram route. Their main target are careless and inattentive tourists.

Never leave expensive cameras hanging with shoulders (belts easily cut), always put expensive things and jewels in the bags, keep backpacks and bags in front of you. Pockets, as a rule, "work" in crowded trams and closer to the exit. These are not Portuguese, but gangs from Eastern Europe, and "work" not only men, but also women.


Departure time and travel duration

Tram number 28 plays an important role in the public transport network of Lisbon, as evidenced by its time of work, as well as the fact that trams go quite often. The first tram goes on the route early in the morning (6:00), and the last - late in the evening (22:30). From 7 o'clock in the morning and until 8 o'clock in the evening, at least four trams depart every hour. The schedule of their movement can be found on the Carris website:
To Campo Ourik - http://www.carris.pt/pt/electrico/28E/ascendente/
To Martim Monis - http://www.carris.pt/pt/electrico/28e/descendente/

Trams are usually embarrassed from the schedule due to the accumulation of transport on narrow streets of the Alpha region, as well as due to incorrectly parked machines. On large tram stops, digital information scores are installed, containing accurate information about the time of departure of trams. Information that is highlighted on these scoreboards more accurate and fresh than the one that is contained in the printed movement schedules.

Insider Tip:From 10 o'clock in the morning and about 6 pm in the trams of full-time passengers, so if you want to ride on this tram sitting, it is best to sit in it on the initial or final stop (March Monis or Campo Ourik)


You expect one tram, as suddenly appear three .....

The oldest metropolitan quarter, it was from him that Lisbon's history began. The fortress was built by the Romans, and the Arabs were reconstructed. Today, poor families of fishermen live in the once luxurious area.


Interesting fact! The name of the district is translated as a "hot source". In the period of the Middle Ages, the walls of Lisbon enjoyed water from the wall.

The church was set 300 years ago and today admires the amazing snow-white walls. The church is called Holy Engrassia - Braga Martyrs.


It is interesting! The construction of the temple was conducted for 284 years.


The castle is one of the main attractions of the capital. It is on the hill, so it will be clearly seen from the window 28 tram. The building in different epochs was the castle, theater, the place of detention of prisoners, Arsenal. In the XV century, the triumphal return of Vasco da Gama from the legendary travel to India was celebrated in the castle walls.

In 1755 the castle was completely destroyed. Reconstruction was carried out until the end of the last century. The appearance of the building is preserved and supplemented with a large number of greenery and luxurious peacocks.

The name of the oldest cathedral is an abbreviation, which means the residence of the bishop. Such temples are built in all major cities of the country.


The main object of reverence of the shrine is the relics of St. Vincent. There is a legend, according to which in the 12th century, a boat driven by corners appeared on the Teous River. The boat was the body of Vincent, tortured to the death of Arabs. When the boat moored to the shore, the birds have equipped the nest on the roof of the cathedral. That is why the symbols of the cathedral - raft and crows. If you decide to ride on the tram 28, you will certainly see this temple.

This part of the city is made in the style of pombinalin. August Street - Portuguese Analogue of the French Elysee Fields.


The emergence of a new architectural style is associated with tragic events in Lisbon, namely with a destructive earthquake in 1755. A catastrophe in just 3 minutes destroyed the city and claimed the lives of almost all the inhabitants. Lisbon's recovery was engaged in Vombala marquis. After the earthquake, Marquis acted very strongly. First of all, he ordered to close the city and put armed guard to neutralize panic. The surviving residents were engaged in stewing fires, the ruins disassembled and fought with gangs of marauders.

Marquis took a risky move, thanks to which he defended the city from possible terrible effects - epidemics. Immediately after the catastrophe of all dead drowned in the sea.

On the square installed the statue of the monarch Jose I on the horse. Locals are called a statue - a black horse, however, today a horse made from bronze has acquired a greenish tint - even a stone will not stand before time.


In 1908, the Square was killed by the penultimate Portuguese Monarch - Karlush I. During the attempt, the king died at once, his son Luis Philip was injured, from which he soon died. The prince of Manuel II suffered the least, the bullet hit his hand. It was he who began to rule Portugal in the future. The attackers are representatives of the Republican Party - were shot in place, but their followers later managed to overthrow the monarchy.

In 1974, a bloodless revolution occurred here.

The design connects two parts of the capital - upper and lower. The design follows from the Golden Street to the Karma Square. Lifting height - 32 meters.


Elevator - the creation of an architect from France Raul Messnier du Prysaro. Some historians believe that he borrowed the technical idea of \u200b\u200bthe elevator from the famous countryman who gave the world Eiffel Tower, - Gustava Eifel. The elevator lift is made in a sophisticated neo-neutic style and decorated with an openwork pattern.


This is the most sophisticated area of \u200b\u200bthe Portuguese capital. The name in translation means - creak. Probably, the locals called this part of Lisbon exactly as it was constantly heard the scrolling of the wheels of the carriage, which overcame the steep slopes. In the last century, it came here to hang out and creative personalities who wanted to become famous.

On a note! Today, the best restaurants and bars of the capital are in Shiad.
