I think about €24 euro there and maybe €13 return but we went to a different location on the way back.
Our last day in Lisbon started with the obligatory ride on Tram 28. This was about 8:00am which is early by European standards so the tram was quite empty. Unfortunately the tram didn’t go the whole route as there were roadworks happening so we only went from Martim Monez to Praça Luis de Camoes.
Followed by breakfast at A Brasileira which is one of the oldest cafes in the city and the original importer of Brazilian coffee.
And of course a photo with legendary Portuguese poet and writer Fernando Pessoa who to be honest I’d never heard of but hey!
And of course no trip to Portugal is complete without sampling Ginjinha.
Finished off with a couple of drinks by the harbour!

Next stop Porto…
Coincidentally some good friends were travelling in Portugal at the same time so we arranged to meet up in Porto. As well our son and DIL who live in Edinburgh had also arranged to meet us. We all met at the Bar Ponte Pensil under the Ponte da Arrabida for a “planning meeting “ (aka drinking
). It’s not cheap but the view is amazing 
We then followed this with a food and wine walking tour. It was great experience and we got to sample quite a bit of local food and drinks.
Loved this store where we sampled Ginjinha. Definitely recommended visiting if you’re in Porto.
Port wine tasting (but can’t remember the name of the place)
This wasn’t part of the tour
but had to get the photo.
We then headed to the south side of the river to watch the sunset, have a drink and listen to some buskers.
