Black Week: Embrace Nostalgia with the Iconic Lisbon Tram Plush Toy

This Black Week, we’re inviting you to hug a piece of history. The yellow tram of Lisbon, or eléctrico, is more than just public transport; it’s a living monument and the true soul of Portugal's capital. Our plush toy of the iconic Lisbon tram captures all the charm and nostalgia of this beloved vehicle, making it the perfect souvenir or gift for anyone who has been captivated by the city.

Lisbon's tram network has a long and fascinating history. It all began with horse-drawn carriages in 1873, a time of great transformation for the city, which was just getting electricity and piped water. However, the true revolution came in 1901 when the first electric tram made its debut, offering a faster and more reliable way to navigate the city's famous seven hills. By 1959, the network had grown to 27 lines, marking the “golden age” of trams in Lisbon.

 

The Tram's Unique Design and Charm

The most famous of Lisbon's trams are the "Remodelado" models, which were introduced in the 1930s. These trams were specifically designed to handle the narrow, winding streets and steep slopes of neighborhoods like Alfama. Their vintage look, with classic bell sounds and interiors featuring polished wood, has made them a cherished part of the city’s identity. The famous Tram 28, which snakes through many of Lisbon’s most historic districts, has become a tourist attraction in its own right, offering a scenic journey through the city’s past and present.

While many of the old tram lines were replaced by buses and the metro system, the remaining routes and their classic trams continue to be an essential part of Lisbon's public transport, serving areas that modern vehicles cannot reach. They are a tangible link to a bygone era, preserving the city's unique character.

Our Lisbon tram plush toy pays homage to this iconic vehicle. It’s crafted from soft, high-quality materials, capturing the recognizable yellow color and distinct shape of the trams that rumble through the city's historic center. This plush toy is a fun and whimsical way to celebrate the history of Portugal's capital.
