These antique electric vehicles are the city’s most photographed public transportation and Lisbon tram 28 is the jewel among them. The 28 tram connects Martim Moniz with Campo Ourique, and passes through the popular tourist districts of Alfama, Baixa and Chiado.

Jeronimos Monastery
The monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the Portuguese Late Gothic Style, known as Manueline style of architecture, a Portuguese Gothic that developed under the reign of King Manuel I. It was classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém in 1983. The monastery was built to commemorate the triumphant return of Vasco da Gama from India. It is elaborately carved to show the glorious wealth that the age of exploration brought to the Portuguese empire. A Lisbon’s must-see marvel!
Vasco da Gama
Portuguese navigator who established the sea link between Portugal and India (1497-1498), thus setting a new trade route which for over a century, would grant the Portuguese supremacy in the Indian Ocean. His tomb lies just inside the entrance to Santa Maria church located inside the monastery.
Monument of the Discoveries
This stunning monument was built in 1960 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460), one of the great Portuguese Discoverers. He was a central figure in the 15th-century European maritime discoveries. He discovered the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde.
Leading the ship is Prince Henry the Navigator and behind him are 33 other great Portuguese discoverers of that era, including explorers, cartographers, artists, scientists, poets and missionaries. The courage and bravery of the Portuguese navigators crossing the world and discovered new lands was unforgettable to the world!
Try to identify the main navigators, such as Bartholomew Dias – who crossed the Cape of Torments; Vasco da Gama – who discovered the maritime route to India; Pedro Álvares Cabral – who discovered Brazil; and Magellan – the first European to cross the southern Pacific and circumnavigate the earth, which verified that the Earth was round. Come and make your own discoveries!
Compass Rose
The magnificence of the Compass Rose, a marble mosaic at the foot of the Monument that represents a compass, with the world map and the routes of the Discoveries. It’s a gift from Republic of South Africa.
25th of April Bridge

After the Carnation Revolution that took place on the 25 April 1974 and Salazar’s regime was overturned, the Bridge was given the name of 25th of April.
