• Board at Martim Moniz for the best chance of a window seat, since it is the first stop on the line
• Prepaid tickets cost less: €1.90 on a Navegante card against €3.30 bought on board, and a 24-hour CARRIS/METRO ticket covers every ride
• Kids ride free: up to age 3 with no ticket, and ages 4 to 12 with a personalized navegante card on the child profile (the free Navegante 12 pass)

Tram 28 is a regular Carris city line run with the small yellow historic trams. It climbs streets too narrow for buses, from Martim Moniz up through Graça, past the Portas do Sol and Santa Luzia viewpoints, down by the Sé cathedral, then through Chiado and Estrela to Campo de Ourique (Prazeres).

For kids the draw is the ride itself: steep hills, tight corners and house fronts passing inches from the windows.
