I liked the trams the best. They have old ones and newer ones - either way you get to see the city pass by as you go.
We took one across the river and up to the castle on the hill. The sun was shining and it was a warm fall day.
In an old-world way, the track repair men were out working on a live line. One guy did the soldering, another did the smoothing and a few looked out for oncoming trams.
They'd work with no regard to the waiting tram. Eventually they'd relent and only slowly, reluctantly pick up their tools and let it pass.
We also tried the subway. We stared at the ticket machine for a few minutes and I finally picked a ticket that was way more than we needed, just to be safe.
There are no turnstiles, you stamp your ticket on the way in and only show it if asked by a roving subway cop.
