Trams in Portugal have generally been traditional electric cars in large cities such as Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra... Portuguese tram routes are typically, but not necessarily, tourist attractions.
Tramways are usually embedded in the older parts of Portuguese cities. They are intended primarily for carrying passengers, and as a means of rapid transportation, since the trams usually have priority over the remaining traffic.
Trams came to Portugal in the following sequence: Porto (1895), Lisbon (1901), Sintra (1904), Coimbra (1911) and Braga (1914). The first three of these networks are still in operation; the remaining two have been closed.
Here are some color photos taken by photographer Tim Boric that show the trams in Portugal in 1977 and 1978.
