Getting around by streetcar Lisbon

In a very nice (but not always very fast) way, bright yellow streetscars (the oldest ones have wooden minacles, moleskin benches and sparkling chrome) make it possible to visit the city, finally part of it, because they only ride in the old districts and along the Tagus River, in Belém. The electricos began to circulate in Lisbon in 1873, drawn by horses. We do not succumb to their steep slippery slippers with vengeance, sudden brake strokes and unexpected breaks (due to various and varied obstacles on rails) punctuated by the vehement comments of the driver or even some used. The network consists of 5 lines. Line No. 12 makes a loop of the praça da Figueira through the Sé, the Alfama, the Miraduro of Santa Luzia, São Tomé crossing La Mouraria and Largo Martim Moniz, to return to the starting point. Line 15, with its modern trams, goes from the praça do Comércio to Algés via Belém, and gives a good overview of the docas and the edges of the Tagus River. Line 18 is part of rua Alousndega (praça do Comércio) to go to Cemitério Ajuda, above Belém. The route on line No. 25 is interesting, because it connects the praça do Comércio to the Campo Ourique through notably Madragoa and Lapa. As for line No. 28, no doubt the most picturesque, it goes from Martim Moniz to Campo Ourique (Prazeres), passing through the old districts of Lisbon: Graça, the Alfama and its monastery São Vicente de Fora, the Castelo São Jorge or almost, la Sé, or Chiado, upper Bica and Estrela. Line 24, recommissioned in 2018, goes from Square Luis Camoes to Campolide, through Príncipe Real and Amoreiras. In general, trams travel from 5:45 a. m. to 1:00 a. m. (service shorter on Saturday, Sunday and holidays). Rates identical to buses and elevators (so you can pay with your vivaviagem card). Throughout the network, you will remain vigilant with regard to pickpockets.

Throughout the year, a "historic" tram service makes two tourist routes.
