Frequently Asked Questions — Getting Around Lisbon

What is Tram 28 and is it worth taking as a tourist?

Tram 28 is Lisbon's famous vintage tram route through the historic Alfama and Mouraria neighbourhoods, passing the Sé Cathedral and Graça viewpoint. It is a real local tram — not a tourist ride — so it gets very crowded. Board at the Martim Moniz terminus early in the morning for a seat, and watch for pickpockets.

Does the Lisboa Card include travel to Sintra?

Yes — the Lisboa Card covers unlimited travel on CP suburban trains from Rossio or Oriente stations to Sintra and Cascais. It also includes free entry to most Lisbon museums and monuments, making it excellent value for day-tripping tourists.

How many Metro lines does Lisbon have?

Lisbon has 4 Metro lines (Blue, Yellow, Green, Red) with 56 stations. The Blue Line (Linha Azul) serves the airport and connects to Marquês de Pombal shopping area. The Yellow Line serves Baixa-Chiado. The Metro covers the main tourist corridors efficiently.
