This portrait format photo shows the iconic Tram 28, one of Lisbon's most famous trams, in all its splendour.
The protagonist in the centre of the picture is the historic yellow and white tram, which rolls through the narrow streets of the old town and captures the nostalgic flair of the Portuguese capital. The tram carries an eye-catching advert for a traditional Portuguese liqueur, which lends the scene a charming authenticity and emphasises the cultural connection to Lisbon.
The surroundings are discreet, but you can still recognise the morbid charm of the old town with its weathered facades. One building in the background stands out in particular, its walls decorated with the typical Portuguese azulejo tiles - a trademark of the region and a symbol of the local architecture.
The image skilfully plays with perspective and light, bringing the tram to centre stage and emphasising the urban character of the scene. Ideal for art lovers who want to bring a piece of Portuguese culture into their home or as an inspirational motif for travellers. This unique motif captures the soul of Lisbon - a city full of history, culture and charm.
