Lisbon: Tram 28, Alfama, and Custard Tart Walking Tour

Explore Lisbon’s heart on a Tram 28 ride and a walk through Alfama. Visit the Sé de Lisboa, enjoy views from Miradouros, and end with a Pastel de Nata at Manteigaria.
Begin your adventure with a ride on the legendary Elétrico 28, a beautifully preserved vintage tram from the 1930s. Designed to navigate Lisbon's narrow, winding streets and astonishingly steep gradients, the classic Remodelado tram is an icon in itself. Take this quintessential ride from the center, climbing the steep hills to your starting point overlooking the city.

From this vantage point, enjoy a superb view of the formidable São Jorge Castle, a Moorish fortification that has overlooked Lisbon for centuries, a silent witness to its dramatic history.

From here, it's all downhill, allowing you to absorb the scenery and the unique atmosphere. Your first stops are two of Lisbon's finest miradouros (viewpoints): Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol (Gate of the Sun).

As you descend into the oldest parts of the city, visit two cornerstones of Lisbon's religious history: Sé de Lisboa (Lisbon Cathedral) and St. Anthony’s Church (Igreja de Santo António).

Cross the magnificent Baixa (Downtown), the grid-like district completely rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake in a pioneering style of architecture known as Pombaline. Walk down Rua Augusta, Lisbon's main pedestrian thoroughfare, leading you to the monumental Arco da Rua Augusta.

Your final section takes you into the sophisticated Chiado district, the city's artistic and literary heart. Step inside the world's oldest continuously operating bookstore, founded in 1732. Pass by the legendary Café A Brasileira, once the preferred meeting spot for 20th-century intellectuals, writers, and artists, including the revered poet Fernando Pessoa.

Conclude on the highest note possible at Manteigaria. Here, try what many locals and visitors hail as the best Pastéis de Nata (custard tarts) in the universe. Watch them being freshly baked right before your eyes before sinking your teeth into the crisp, flaky pastry and warm, creamy custard—a perfect, golden conclusion to your Lisbon discovery.
