An iconic symbol of Lisbon, the tram is a fabulous way to get around town and see the city’s top attractions. Since the early 1900s, the trams have been transporting locals and visitors through the city, and with this hop-on hop-off tour, you can combine the experience of riding down the vintage tramway with a sightseeing tour of Lisbon.
Start your tour at any of the 6 stops, and ride until you want to hop off. Make your way to Baixa, Lisbon’s downtown district where you can explore the majestic Comercio Square (Praça do Comércio), Rossio Square (Praça de D. Pedro IV), the Square of the Fig Tree (Praça da Figueira) or the Santa Justa Elevator (Elevador de Santa Justa), an Eiffel Tower-like structure and one of the city's most visited landmarks.
For a dose of history, get back on the tram and head to Alfama, Lisbon's historic quarter that houses many of the city's most famous sights. Stroll along the medieval alleys and visit the impressive St George's Castle (Castelo de São Jorge). Take pictures of the beautiful Monastery of São Vicente de Fora and the Miradouro das Portas do Sol, a grand balcony, which offers stunning views over Alfama.
Then hop on the tram again and head to the Bairro Alto & Chiado, Lisbon's cultural heart and the must-see quarter if you like shopping or nightlife. It’s also home to some of the city's best restaurants, so stop here for delicious Portuguese food.
If you feel like relaxing, continue to Estrela, the perfect area to escape the hustle of the city. Here you can visit the lovely Estrela Park (Jardim da Estrela) and walk through the gorgeous gardens.

I like this trip but a small circuit with only three points to hip-on/off. The best is combine with the yellow bus (red and blue line).

When we arrived at the tram stop we presented the confirmation and ticket printed on line. The operator of the tram stated we had to go to the office for a ticket. I explained the paper i gave him was my ticket. He had a customer aid call their office to verify our ticket. She was on the phone about 15 minutes before they finally accepted our on line ticket. When we ended our Tram tour we were told to take the yellow line bus back to the cruise ship. The yellow line told us we had to take a different line. We had to walk quite a distance to locate the correct line. The Tram Tour was okay.
