The real face of Lisbon seen on the yellow tram

#Overseas travel Main text: Lisbon is great for walking, but if you really want to travel like Lisbon, you should take the yellow tram number 28. The old but cozy exterior, the clanking sound of the wooden floor, the small tram climbing up the steep hill. From the moment you get on it, it feels like you're 'entering' Lisbon, not traveling. The tram departs from Martim Moniz and passes through the winding alleys of Alfama, and the central areas of Baixa and Chiado. Outside the window, laundry flutters, street performers play fado, and locals and tourists go about their daily lives. It's also good to get off for a while to enjoy the view from Portas do Sol and take a break with a cup of coffee at a nearby outdoor cafe. If you take the tram again and go to the Estrela Cathedral, the scenery where Lisbon's past and present overlap is complete. Trams are neither fast nor comfortable, but they are the best means of transportation to show the stubborn charm of the city of Lisbon. Thanks to their slowness and shaking, I fell in love with Lisbon even more. 📍Tram Route 28: Martim Moniz → Alfama → Baixa → Chiado → Estrela #LisbonTramTravel #Tram28Review #YellowTram #AlfamaAlley #PortasDoSolView #LisbonCitySightseeing #PortugalEmotionalTravel #EuropeanCityTrip #LisbonStreetWalking #EmotionalTravelRoute
