Lisbon Hills Tram

The Lisbon Hills Tram is one of the Portuguese capital's most recognisable institutions, threading its way through the steep, narrow streets of historic neighbourhoods that larger vehicles simply cannot reach. The iconic yellow trams have long been a working part of Lisbon's public transport network, climbing gradients that define the city's famously hilly topography and passing through quarters such as Alfama and Mouraria, where tiled facades and centuries-old architecture line the routes.

The Historic Hills Tram Tour offers a guided way to experience these journeys, placing the city's layered history in context as the tram winds between miradouros and medieval lanes. Riding the tram is as much an encounter with Lisbon's urban character as it is a means of getting from one point to another, and the tour format allows visitors to absorb the architectural and cultural detail of neighbourhoods that reward slow, attentive exploration.
