Trams almost back to normal … HOWEVER.

The 15 is now back to its full route, using the stop at the north end of Rua da Prata as its terminus. The shuttle bus (“naveta”) running between Praça da Figueira, Cais do Sodré and Alcântara has been withdrawn.

Route 25 now has its town terminus at the north end of the Rua da Prata, and the 18 now turns back at Cais do Sodré, meaning no service trams are turning at Corpo Santo.

And so to the 28. It’s a long-ish one, folks.

The 28 is running normally all the way to Estrela and Prazeres. But, in the opposite direction, is turning back at Graça because of roadworks in the Rua do Forno do Tijolo (between Graça and Martim Moniz).

After turning back at Graça, the 28 returns to the Baixa district, but then turns right up Rua da Prata, continuing via Praça da Figueira to Martim Moniz, following the route of the 12 up to São Tomé, back to its usual route, then straight on along the Rua Conceição and as normal to Chiado, Camões and so on. The Martim Moniz to Graça part is being covered by minibuses.

And, talking of the 12, this is now terminating at Martim Moniz and running a circular route via São Tomé and the Castle before heading up the Rua da Prata and back to Martim Moniz.

Metro - short trains in the evening.

The information on Metro services has been updated to warn you about this.

Lisbon Book Fair (Feira do Livro).

This began on June 4th., and continues until June 22. It’s in the Parque Eduardo VII. There are lots of stalls, and the inevitable array of not always cheap food trucks. You pays your money and takes your chance, as ever.

Many sellers offer a Livro do Dia (book of the day) at a discounted price. Each day’s offering is available on the Fair’s website (HERE). Not everything on offer is in Portuguese!

Beer lovers - BREW. Chiado has yet another tap takeover right now, eleven beers from FIRST Craft Beer in Budapest. That’s around half their total tap count.
