Tram Ride in Lisbon – An Interesting Experience!

For 1.40 Euros/person, I would recommend to anyone to try out a tram ride.   If for no reason other than to experience it!  Lisbon has some of the most narrow streets I’ve ever seen and I could not imagine trying to park here!  The trams travel along specific tracks alongside rows and rows of parked cars, and from what I’ve seen, if you park even an inch too far from the curb, your car will be side-swiped by the tram as it travels along!

We watched the tram driver honk and yell at several cars which were pulled over in no parking zones because they were in the way of the tram track and one of these cars had no one in it.  So after a minute of honking, the tram driver decided to keep going.  I swear you couldn’t even put a finger in the space between the tram and the side of the car but the tram managed to get by without causing any damage! Definately an eye-opening ride…!
