In three previous posts in
November 2012 (2) and July 2012 (1) I have written about the famous Red Trams
of Lisbon.
Take an old-style tram and
rattle around some of the most interesting parts of Lisbon on the famous Tram
Network of Lisbon on a Red Tram. See major landmarks such as the imposing
Castle of São Jorge, once a Moorish royal residence, and Santa Maria Maior de
Lisboa, Lisbon’s cathedral. Marvel at
the many faces of this richly diverse city. Contrast the old-fashioned village
atmosphere of medieval Alfama with the sophistication of upmarket Chiada.
Compare the tangled maze of streets and buildings of Mouraria with the grandeur
and opulence of Laba. There are not many
places in Europe where you can still ride a tramcar. Going by tram is not only
a wonderful way to see Lisbon, it is also a lot of fun!
