The Portuguese said that “people who have not seen Lisbon are not seeing the beauty.” This westernmost city on the European attracts visitors from all over the world with a unique beauty. Lisbon is built on the seven hills. The whole city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The streets are undulating. The old street houses are lined up, and the nostalgic 28 tram passes through the city, as if crossing through to the medieval era, it is extremely artistic. The world heritage town, Sintra and the seaside town of Cascais are another sight.
Taking the oldest tram in Europe
There are three colors of trams in Lisbon. Red is a touring bus with sightseeing. Green is a tour bus to the top of the castle. Yellow is for local transit. The most famous is the tram No. 28 from Matilm Moniz to Chopdrick. Along the 28 tram route, it is one of the best highlight of the Lisbon tour.
Passing through the narrow streets of the 500-year-old, it reflects the ancient walls, as if it were Lisbon’s time shuttle. Lisbon is a city of trams, and it is a slow stroll with a tram.
