Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 7,100 reviews

the lisboa card is very practical and economical for traveling and visiting Lisbon. because otherwise in retail transport is rather expensive. you can take any transport, bus, tram, train. the only downside is that the transport is regularly crowded and the bus is very busy. not all transport is equipped with a screen that announces the stops so you have to be attentive. positive outcome all the same for us.

The two - day ticket was well worth the money as it gives free access to not only both sightseeing tours but also all the old trams and the Santa Justa lift. It will also get us a discount on our next tour of Porto. what a brilliant scheme!

We definitely made our money back with using the transport around Lisbon but a lot of places with a discount we couldn't use as there were just tickets machines or paying online so no where to get the discount with the Lisboa Card?

I am very satisfied with this card. It allowed me to get around very easily and access several museums and monuments. This is essential to have during your stay.

Good and easy to use, perhaps not the cheapest solution in all cases, but very comfortable. Would buy the Lisboa Card again.
