We were at La Catedral de Estrela and wanted to head into town to go to St Jorge Castle and there was no way we were going to miss the best chance to get on Tram 28! If you're in Estrela, the tram runs every 15 minutes or so and picks you up right across from the Park or the Cathedral. Really easy! We didn't pay for the 24 hour pass because we didn't know what our plan was going to be for the day. But you can buy it at any metro station for €6 and it makes life easy for you so you can essentially turn the tram into your own " hop off, hop on" tour. We paid the single use €2.90/person fee and enjoyed the 15-20 minute ride up the castle. I would recommend opening the windows so you can get some great fresh air and pictures of all the sites you pass. If you catch the tram in Estrela or well before the heart of town you are almost guaranteed a seat, rather than having to stand awkwardly as the tram jolts you around. We also lucked out that December isn't really peak season for tourism here anyways.

The tram ride from one end to the other takes 2:40 and climbs one of the steepest slopes in the city. It opened for passengers in 1892. What's interesting about this ride is that it is not an independent track. The path where the train rides is also open to vehicles and pedestrians. It is considered one of the most picturesque streets in Lisbon, if not Europe. The Elevador is operated by the same Carris that runs the subway, trams and buses. If you've bought a 24 hour pass, you can scan your Viagem card and it's included. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a ticket from the driver onboard - he takes cash. Try to sit in the front or the back for the best views! [Review 19025 overall - 221 in Portugal - 2549 of 2022.]

If you do plan to go to the market, I'd recommend combining the two in one trip since the elevador is not that close to the city centre. The yellow funicular is the most popular one in Lisbon because of the steep hills. Unfortunately, it wasn't running when we came by on a Saturday at around 2:30. Maybe it only runs on weekdays? Regardless of that fact, it's a cool place for some photo ops. This is where you see all of those Lisbon shots on Instagram. We didn't walk up the entire hill but it was a sight to see. We didn't have time to come back another day to see if the tram was running since our time in Lisbon was limited, but if this is a must-see for you, just be sure to budget enough time on your trip. You never know when it may be randomly closed.

Tickets are purchased on board and the driver was not only able to make change and provide my ticket, he was busy driving the bus at the time. That was impressive. The bus did have a wifi network but we're out in the sticks here in many cases on switchback roads in the mountains east of Lisbon. It didn't work very well so I switched to cellular. Other than that, it's a pretty standard city bus with 2x2 seating, hand grabs throughout and even USB chargers (through the one at my seat had been vandalized). The bus was clean and well lit. It kept to the schedule posted in the bus stop where I picked it up in Cascais and where I returned from Cabo da Roca. [Review 19047 overall - 241 in Portugal - 16 of 2023.]

Terrible experience - dishonest pricing and overcrowded buses…read more I took a Scotturb bus in Portugal and was extremely disappointed. The driver refused to sell the regular €4 ticket, insisting that I buy the 24h pass for €13.50. On their own website, this pass is listed at €12, but the price on the bus is made to look like a discount (they cross out €18 to make it seem like a deal -- it's not). To make things worse, the bus was completely packed, with people standing shoulder to shoulder for the entire ride. No comfort, no space, no respect for the advertised service. A tourist trap on wheels. Avoid if you can -- especially if you expect fair pricing and basic travel conditions.

The station has four tracks each with side platforms. It is handicapped accessible. On the blue line, it is between Restauradores (toward Reboleira) and Terreiro do Paço (toward Santa Apolónia).
