This event offers the opportunity to travel on Porto's historic tram network, operated by the STCP (Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos do Porto). These vintage vehicles, some dating back to the early 20th century, are maintained and run as a heritage service alongside the modern public transport system. The tram rides provide a glimpse into the city's past transport methods and offer a distinct way to navigate certain areas of Porto.
Visitors can expect a leisurely journey through various parts of the city, with the distinct sounds and movements of an older tram. The routes traverse different urban landscapes, from central districts to riverside areas. The atmosphere is generally relaxed, appealing to families and individuals interested in historical transport or a different perspective on Porto's streetscapes. The Line 1 route, in particular, follows the Douro riverbank towards Foz do Douro, offering views of the water and surrounding architecture.
Access to the trams is ticketed. Tickets can be purchased directly on board or at designated sales points. The tram lines operate from various starting points across the city. For example, Line 1 departs from Infante, accessible via a short walk from the Ribeira area. The service is suitable for families, with children often enjoying the novelty of the ride.
