The yellow tram No. 28 is a must when visiting Lisbon. This historic tram crosses the most famous districts of the city \u2014 Alfama, Baixa and Chiado among others.<\/p>\n<p>Having taken it myself, I can assure you that tram 28, even if it doesn&#8217;t go fast, offers its share of adrenaline and excitement as it climbs the narrow and winding streets of the Alfama, where you can almost touch the walls of the buildings if you put your hand out of the window. As a historical symbol of Lisbon, it&#8217;s no surprise that the small yellow carriages are often packed with tourists. That said, tram 28 is also a genuine means of daily transport for the people of Lisbon \u2014 it&#8217;s worth remembering that when you&#8217;re on board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In short:<\/strong> tram 28 runs from Martim Moniz to Campo de Ourique (Prazeres) via Gra\u00e7a, Alfama, Baixa, Chiado and Estrela. It runs from around 5:40 am to 11:30 pm, every 10 to 15 minutes. A ticket bought on board costs \u20ac3.30 in 2026, but the 24h pass at \u20ac7.25 is the smartest option if you plan to use public transport several times during the day.<\/p>\n<h2>Visiting Lisbon and Tramway 28<\/h2>\n<p>Before we begin, I know that some of you prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/visit-lisbon\/guided-tours-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guided tours of Lisbon<\/a> where everything is organised in advance by an experienced guide who can explain the history and significance of tram 28 \u2014 and of all the <a href=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/visit-lisbon\/lisbon-12-places-to-discover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other monuments to see in Lisbon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below you will find some highly rated tours around Tram 28, conducted by English-speaking guides who know the capital and its history very well.

It connects Martim Moniz square with the Prazeres neighbourhood, passing through some of the city&#8217;s most historic areas. Some sections move along quickly \u2014 particularly between Gra\u00e7a and Estrela.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the development of buses and the metro, tram 28 remains the best way to travel through the narrow, winding streets of Estrela and Alfama. It passes through the oldest parts of the city, is part of its history, and has become one of Lisbon&#8217;s main tourist attractions \u2014 while still being an ecological and authentic means of daily transport.<\/p>\n<p>Painted in a very recognisable yellow, the wooden carriages have 28 seats and 38 standing places, though there are usually many more people on board.<\/p>\n<h2>Lisbon tram 28: timetables and tickets<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2733 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/horaires-tramway-28-lisbonne.jpg\" alt=\"Schedules tramway 28 Lisbon\" width=\"716\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/horaires-tramway-28-lisbonne.jpg 716w, https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/horaires-tramway-28-lisbonne-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The average interval between trams on line 28 is 10 to 15 minutes, with longer gaps in high season due to traffic and heavy passenger loads.

That&#8217;s no reason to avoid it \u2014 I&#8217;ve ridden it many times without any issue \u2014 but it&#8217;s something to be aware of. Keep your bag closed and in front of you, don&#8217;t leave your phone or camera hanging freely, and be particularly alert during jostling at busy stops. Warning signs are posted inside the tram itself. The riskiest hours are between 9 am and 6 pm, when carriages are most crowded.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing to remember is that Lisbon residents use this tram year-round \u2014 to get to work, to the market, to church. Portuguese elderly people will appreciate it if you give up your seat. The first seats just after the driver are reserved for elderly passengers, pregnant women and people with reduced mobility.<\/p>\n<p>A few more practical tips for your journey:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Part of the line 28 route, especially through Alfama, can easily be done on foot \u2014 the stops are close together and the neighbourhood is a pleasure to explore.<\/li>\n<li>The tram does not loop. You will need to get out at the terminus and wait for another tram 28 if you want to go back the other way.<\/li>\n<li>Always board through the front door and exit through the rear door.<\/li>\n<li>At stops, there is usually an orderly queue \u2014 this is very much respected in Portugal, so join the back of it.<\/li>\n<li>Tip: start from Campo de Ourique (Prazeres terminus) early in the morning rather than from Martim Moniz to avoid the longest queues.<\/li>\n<li>If the tram is packed, get off at an intermediate stop and wait for the next one \u2014 it is often less crowded.<\/li>\n<li>During holidays and long weekends, the tram is very busy. Travel early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the worst of the crowds.<\/li>\n<li>The driver sells tickets but only for cash (\u20ac3.30 in 2026). Top up your Navegante or Viva Viagem card in advance to pay less (\u20ac1.90).<\/li>\n<li>WiFi is available on tram 28.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>FAQ \u2013 Tram 28 in Lisbon<\/h2>\n<h3>How much does tram 28 cost in Lisbon in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>In 2026, a ticket bought on board from the driver costs \u20ac3.30 (cash only). If you load your Navegante or Viva Viagem card before boarding, the fare drops to \u20ac1.90. In zapping mode, it costs \u20ac1.72 per validation. The 24h Carris\/Metro pass at \u20ac7.25 is the best value if you plan to use public transport several times during the day.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the timetables for tram 28?<\/h3>\n<p>The first departure from Martim Moniz is at around 5:40 am on weekdays (6:45 am on Sundays and public holidays). The last departure is around 11:30 pm. Trams run every 10 to 15 minutes, with longer gaps in high season.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the full route of tram 28?<\/h3>\n<p>Tram 28 runs from Martim Moniz to Campo de Ourique (Prazeres), passing through Gra\u00e7a, Alfama, Baixa, Chiado and Estrela. The full journey takes between 40 and 50 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Is tram 28 included with the Lisboa Card?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, the Lisboa Card includes free travel on tram 28, along with free or discounted access to many of Lisbon&#8217;s monuments. It is available in 24h, 48h and 72h versions.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there pickpockets on tram 28?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, tram 28 is one of the most targeted spots for pickpockets in Lisbon. Keep your belongings in front of you, close your bag, and avoid leaving your phone or camera within easy reach. The risk is highest between 9 am and 6 pm when the tram is most crowded.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it better to ride tram 28 or explore on foot?<\/h3>\n<p>Both work well together. Parts of the route \u2014 especially through Alfama \u2014 are very pleasant to walk, with short distances between stops. You can easily mix the two: take the tram for the uphill stretches and walk between stops at your own pace.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Article\",\n      \"headline\": \"Lisbon Tram 28: Timetables, Tickets and Route Guide 2026\",\n      \"description\": \"Everything you need to know about Lisbon tram 28: 2026 fares, timetables, full route, key stops and practical tips for visiting the city.\",\n      \"dateModified\": \"2026-03-01\",\n      \"datePublished\": \"2019-05-01\",\n      \"inLanguage\": \"en\",\n      \"author\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Person\",\n        \"name\": \"Essencial Portugal\"\n      },\n      \"publisher\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n        \"name\": \"Essencial Portugal\",\n        \"url\": \"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\"\n      },\n      \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n        \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/essencial-portugal.com\/en\/visit-lisbon\/tramway-28-lisbon\/\"\n      }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n      \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n          \"@type\": \"Question\",\n          \"name\": \"How much does tram 28 cost in Lisbon in 2026?\",\n          \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n            \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n            \"text\": \"In 2026, a ticket bought on board from the driver costs 3.30 euros (cash only).
