Number 18 Tram - Porto

A number 18 tram trundles its way along the riverside in Porto. The 18 tram route is quite short but involves climbing the rather massive hill that is Rua da Restauração. The route starts at the Porto Tram Museum, which was the old tram station, in Massarelos and ends at Carmo.
