Line 22 of the historic tram car will resume service in Porto starting Saturday

Suspended since November 2021 due to expansion works on the Porto Metro network, service on line 22 will resume, with all conditions now in place to guarantee its operation.

With the infrastructure work completed, STCP began preparing for the line's return, promoting training actions aimed at conductors and conducting circulation tests throughout the month, with the goal of ensuring all safety and operational conditions for the service.

With an approximate duration of 30 minutes, the circular route, which connects Carmo to Batalha and returns to the starting point, allows local passengers and visitors to explore the historic center of Porto, passing through Praça da Liberdade, Torre dos Clérigos and Praça da Batalha.

In addition to its tourist route, Line 22 also allows connections with the rest of the tram network. At Carmo, it connects to Line 18, which, in turn, provides a connection to Line 1 at Massarelos.

The return of Line 22 reinforces STCP's offering of historic trams, preserving one of the city's symbols and providing a unique way to discover Porto's historic center.

Schedules

Line 22 runs every day of the week, with a frequency of 30 minutes.
The first tram departs daily from Carmo at 9:15 am and the last trip ends at 7:45 pm, also in Carmo.
