A local would say...

The world's most photogenic commute: a 1930s yellow tram squeaking through Lisbon's medieval alleyways, past tiled facades and laundry lines, carrying you up hills too steep to walk.

Lisbon's iconic yellow trams are a quintessential part of the city's identity, and Tram 28 is the most celebrated route — threading through the steep, narrow streets of the Alfama, Graça, and Estrela neighbourhoods that would otherwise be impassable. The vintage wooden cars groan up medieval hills and squeeze past washing lines, local bakeries, and tiled house facades in a cinematic journey across the city's oldest quarters.
