Sit back, relax, and enjoy the the incredible views of the Swiss landscapes!

A Ride on the #28 Tram - Lisbon For 91 Days

Trams have been a way of life in Lisbon since 1873, with the installation of cars powered by horse. Unlike the city's remaining funiculars, which have primarily become tourist sights, the trams are still useful and popular with locals. Though, they're touristy, too. We took a ride on the #28, which is known for its breathtaking route past some of Lisbon's most iconic sights.
