This is definitely one of the
best ways to know Porto. Trams are known to be one of the city’s landmarks
and while you travel on them, you’ll see all the most remarkable places of the
city.
The tram history begins in
1872, when the first route was opened. Since then the fleet of vehicles has
been restored and still preserves that vintage look from the 20s and 30s.
Nowadays the tram does three
different routes through all the different historical areas in Porto.
Line
1: The Douro Riverside
track – travelling from the historical centre to Passeio Alegre Garden. On this
route, you will spot several interesting landmarks, such as the Museu do
Elétrico (Tram Museum), the Museu de Transportes e Comunicações (Transport and
Communications Museum), the Museu do Vinho do Porto (Port Wine Museum) or the
famous Ponte da Arrábida (Arrabida Bridge).
This route takes 23 minutes
and departs from near S. Francisco de Assis church and monument.
