This would be one of the weirdest tourist attaction I've ever encountered.

Seen it. Took a ride on it.

In Lisbon, Portugal, Tram 28 is a popular public transport that promises its passenger a ride that does not disappoint.

Built on the natural slopes and hills that forms the city, the ride gives you a quick sight tour on all the major attractions of the city: monuments, churches, gardens, etc and in some ways, as the Lonely Planet guidebook suggested, does feel like roller coaster ride.

Joining me on this ride was a friend from London who flew down for a 3d2n to see the city with me.

What's absurd, is that you don't need to pay exceptional fee for a tourist tram, Tram 28 is a local public transport that has been running since the late 80s and is still winding through the old city of Lisbon; a ride will only cost you €2.85. Hah!

Let the ride begins!
