Trams in Lisbon are an iconic and fun way to explore the city. The yellow Remodelado trams, especially Tram 28, are famous for their scenic routes through Lisbon’s historic districts, including Alfama, Baixa, Graça, and Estrela. These trams were originally built in the 1930s and are still used today because their compact size allows them to navigate Lisbon’s steep and narrow streets.
