YouTube Video Description↓
During a 12 hours cruise stop in Lisbon ,we took Tram E28 back and forth to explore the famous landmarks and the narrow, steep and twisty streets of Lisbon. It was quite a thrilling ride as we see other trams, cars, tuk-tuks passing by in such close proximity and at times the tram was incredibly close to the buildings as it rattled along the tight steep gradients streets. The best of all, it only cost 7€ for a 24 hours metro pass with unlimited rides on trams, trains and buses to experience the sights, sounds and history of this beautiful and vibrant city . Tram E12 & E28 offer a very scenic route, passing through some of Lisbon's historic districts like Alfama, Baixa, and Estrela. The routes use heritage-style tram carriages and today, it has become a popular tourist attraction in the city. Great way to have an overview of Lisbon and see some of the famous landmarks, old neighborhood and modern buildings.. 0:00 Part 1: Taking a tram from Martim Moniz to Campo Ourique(Prazeres) 1:10 Steep narrow slope between Calçada de Santo Andre / Travessa do Acougue 2:25 Lg.
