In Lisbon, getting there really is part of the fun, as the charming clanking old trams are still the best way to reach the top of the steepest hills.

A popular tram is number 28 that passes through the oldest quarters, while the colorful funiculars of Gloria and Bica are fun ways to reach Bairro Alto.

Best of all is reaching the top of Santa Justa Elevator and finding Lisbon standing below

For another fun ride, check out the Lisbon GoCars. These sporty little 3-wheeler convertibles are a great way to see the city. Just let the onboard GPS system guide you round the city, or take them off the beaten track to make your own way round!

And to best appreciate the city's setting there's the commuter ferry to Cacilhas from Cais do Sodre Station, the daily joy of thousands of locals who can admire their city's skyline on their way to or from work.
