15 Tram 28 E Van Praça da Figueira (eindpunt tram) Metro in Rossio tot Martin Moniz (Groen) The number E28 tram is the classic tram route of Lisbon, depicted in countless images and tourist material. The route cuts through the heart of the Alfama district and passes directly in front of the ancient Sé Cathedral, providing the perfect photo opportunity. The actual E28 route is one of the longest in Lisbon, connecting Baixa to Graça and then heading west towards Campo Ourique via Alfama and Estrela. The tight corners and steep gradients of the E28 route are wholly unsuited for modern trams, so only the classic 1930s single carriage trams can navigate the undulating track. The number 28 tram as it whizzes through the Alfama district Most visitors simply catch the tram to head into Alfama, but the opposite direction leads to the peaceful Estrela district, with the mighty Basilica. There are departures every 11 minutes and the Alfama section is also served by the E12 circular route. The tram service continues until 21:00h. The trams through Alfama can get very crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season and are unfortunately popular with pickpockets. Lisbon Tram 28 Route The number 28 tram departs from Praça do Martim Moniz (north of Baixa) and its first section rides through the Graça and Alfama districts. On the way through Alfama, the tram passes in front of the Sé Cathedral, providing for a wonderful photo opportunity. The section between the Santa Luzia viewpoint and Baixa is the busiest one. From Baixa, the 28 tram heads through the theatre district of Chiado, the nightlife district of Barrio Alto and the grand district of Estrela. The Estrela Basilica is the last major tourist site along the route, and the tram service terminates at the nondescript Campo de Ourique station.
