Estrela and Campo de Ourique in three hours
The white basilica on the hill, the garden opposite, a market hall that serves petiscos, Fernando Pessoa's last home and the cemetery at the end of tram 28.
West of the Bairro Alto the city flattens out into the residential quarters where Lisbon's own families live. Tram 28 ends here, at the Prazeres cemetery, and this route follows its last stretch: the basilica of Estrela and its garden, then the market and streets of Campo de Ourique.
