Nowadays, Porto has three different tram lines with almost 9 km of extension. They are:
- Line 1: connects the Ribeira (in front of São Francisco Church) with the Foz area (ending at Passeio Alegre);
- Tram line 18: starts at Cordoaria Garden, near the University Rectory building, and goes to Massarelos neighborhood (close to the Electric Tram Museum);
- Line 22: connects the Cordoaria Garden with the area known as Guindais, near Batalha Square.
