Charming Streets of Lisbon
I visited Lisbon, the capital of Portugal!!
Lisbon is built on seven hills, so there are many slopes and stairs. There are also numerous viewpoints, offering stunning views of the city. The colorful buildings and tiles make the streets incredibly charming☺️☺️
And of course, the iconic yellow trams🚋💛
The famous Tram 28 runs through the city, and I encountered it several times (photo 4).
Additionally, there are three cable cars that navigate steep slopes:
① Glória Line (Elevador da Glória)
② Lavra Line (Ascensor da Lavra)
③ Bica Line (Ascensor da Bica)
Photos 1–3 show the Lavra Line.
Photo 4 features the Bica Line → I waited for about 20 minutes, but it seemed the tram wasn’t running that day (a passerby informed me).
Seeing the yellow trams climbing narrow slopes and passing each other was exactly the scene I had hoped to witness. It made me so happy☺️☺️
To ride the trams, you can use contactless payment with a credit card, but a 24-hour transportation pass, which works for other public transport as well, is more cost-effective!
Lastly, my favorite gelato shop, 'Santini.'
During my three-day stay in Lisbon, I visited it twice🍨
Their fruit flavors are incredibly juicy and delicious😋🍓🍋. It’s located near Rossio Square, and I highly recommend it!!
