Carris Museum Classics Parade
The Carris Museum Classics Parade is an event organised by CARRIS and the Carris Museum, bringing some of CARRIS’s most iconic vehicles back onto the streets of Lisbon, where they have been operating since the beginning of the 20th century.
From the trams imported from the United States in 1901 to the first tram built in the workshops of Santo Amaro Depot, the Classics Parade offers the opportunity to travel on a tram with wicker seats, a double-decker bus, or an orange bus.
Carris Museum Classics Parade 2026
On 6 June, the Carris Museum Classics Parade returns to the streets of Lisbon as part of the Lisbon Festivities programme. Following a route departing from Santo Amaro station to Praça da Figueira and back to Santo Amaro, at 10.30 am and 4.00 pm, in 2026 the parade will revisit the iconic circular route towards Praça da Figueira.
Tickets for the Parade will be sold exclusively through the BOL online ticket platform, via a page dedicated to the Carris Museum Classics Parade: https://carris.bol.pt/, where you will find the timetables and the vehicles available.
The Carris Museum Classics Parade is the perfect opportunity to travel back to the start of the 20th century, aboard Open Saloon Tram No. 283, Tram No.444, or the T1 and T2 models. You can also experience travelling on “Bigodes” Tram No. 535 or Tram No. 508, two vehicles from the first series of trams built in the workshops of Santo Amaro Station. The famous “Caixote” Tram No. 741, dating from 1947, recalls the old box-style trams that pulled a trailer in order to carry as many passengers as possible, at a time when Lisbon had not yet introduced trailer trams. In 2026, the themed Tram No. 745, clad in cork and decorated with tradicional Portuguese elements and techniques, will join the classics of the Carris Museum.
In addition to transport from the first half of the 20th century, the Classics Parade also features Bus No. 217, a double-decker AEC dating from 1951. It also includes Bus No. 76, a single-decker Daimler Victory built in 1967, with the unusual configuration of three doors on the right-hand side, restored in 2024. Finally, Bus No. 1001, dating from 1975, stands out as the iconic “orange bus” that became a familiar sight on the streets of Lisbon during the 1980s.
The day of the Carris Museum Classics Parade is a day of celebration and tradition!
