Description
Just like San Francisco has its red tramway, London has its black taxis, Lisbon's yellow 'Electrico' trams are an icon symbolic of the city. The rickety, old-fashioned trams that crisscross the Portuguese capital from hill to hill have become a major, must-see attraction for tourists. Officially launched in 1901, the old Electrico celebrates its 123rd birthday this year and is still as noisy as ever but still going strong. "It's great, but it's not a very comfortable mode of transport. You're really shaken up, like the oranges here!" says French tourist Olivier Kafer. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES
