Lisbon trams - Nearest stop

No ride says Lisbon quite like a yellow tram rattling up a hill so steep and narrow that you could almost touch the houses. Most visitors know only the famous 28E and queue for it at Martim Moniz, sometimes for an hour. Yet Lisbon has six tram lines, and the 12E, 24E and 25E pass equally beautiful streets with plenty of free seats.

This map shows you which tram stop is closest and which lines stop there. Tap "Show tram stops near me", allow location access, and you will see the nearest stops, how far they are on foot, what you can see nearby, and the tram lines drawn on the map. Tap a line to see where it goes and how long the ride takes. You can also tap anywhere on the map to see the stops around that spot. Below the map you will find all six lines at a glance, ticket prices and our tips for avoiding the crowds.

Lisbon trams: what you need to know

Lisbon has six tram lines, all run by Carris. Most use the famous yellow trams from the 1930s, which squeeze through streets far too narrow and steep for buses.

🚋 The six lines
28E · Martim Moniz ↔ Campo de Ourique (Prazeres)
about 40–50 minevery 10–15 min

The famous one, through Graça, Alfama, the Baixa, Chiado and Estrela. Beautiful, but often packed from mid-morning to early evening.

12E · Martim Moniz ↔ Praça Luís de Camões
short linesame classic trams

A shorter version of the 28E on the same track through Graça, Alfama and the Baixa to Chiado. Usually much quieter: if a 12E comes while you queue for the 28E, take it.

15E · Praça da Figueira ↔ Belém ↔ Algés

The easy way to Belém: Jerónimos Monastery, Pastéis de Belém and the riverside. Runs with long modern trams.

18E · Cais do Sodré ↔ Ajuda

Along the river to Alcântara, then uphill to the Ajuda Palace. Few tourists.

24E · Praça Luís de Camões ↔ Campolide

Through Príncipe Real and Rato and under the aqueduct arches at Amoreiras. A relaxed ride with seats usually free.

A hidden gem through Santos, Madragoa, Lapa and Estrela. It does not run at weekends.

🎟️ Tickets
  • A ticket bought on board costs €3.30 per ride. You can also pay with the MB WAY app by scanning the QR code on the ticket machine.
  • Much cheaper: load a Navegante card (€0.50) with a Carris/Metro ticket (€1.90, valid for one hour) or with credit (“Zapping”).
  • The 24-hour Carris/Metro ticket (€7.25) covers all trams, buses, the metro, the funiculars and the Santa Justa lift. Three rides with on-board tickets already cost more.
  • Always touch your card on the reader when you board.
💡 Tips
  • Get a seat: board at the start of the line (Martim Moniz or Campo de Ourique for the 28E), or ride early in the morning or after 8 pm.
  • Skip the 28E queue: take the 12E for Alfama, or the 24E for a calm classic-tram ride.
  • Watch your belongings: pickpockets work on crowded trams, especially the 28E and 15E.
  • Trams share the streets with cars and can be delayed when a car blocks the track.
