This is the lane way to our apartment in Lisbon - you can't see how steep it is in the photo - but it's 250 metres long with a gradient of about 40 degrees. Once we get to the entrance of the apartment building we need to climb about 25 steps and then 54 stairs (yes we have counted them). It is 3 floors by 18 stairs on a circular staircase. Quite a feat after a big day walking around.
Lisbon has an extensive tram network of quaint old trams that lurch and screech around the narrow streets of the capital. This tram is the oldest in Lisbon (it was built in 1874) and travels up and down the lane way every 30 minutes. There are no stops - they just help people who can't walk up this Lisbon hill.
Lisbon is amazing - it is relatively small city but winding steep roads make a short journey (in km) reasonably challenging so the tram system is very convenient. Hope you are all having a fabulous day. Jo. #Lisbon #Portugal #TravelStories
