The Lisbon tramway network, in operation since 1873, presently comprises six urban lines. In 1901 the network was electrified. The decline of the network began with the construction of the Lisbon Metro but the six remaining lines are still very important as sections of the city's topography can only be crossed by small trams.

Funicular Lavra ascends Calcada do Lavra from Rua de Sao Jose in Lisbon. The first street funicular in the world, opened in April 1884, it was originally water powered and converted to electricity in 1915.
