RAIL, UNDERGROUND, TRAMS & BUSES

You can ride the metro, catch a tram or a bus for free with a LISBOA CARD.

This can be purchased at the airport or at any Tourist Information Point.  Click here http://www.golisbon.com/Lisboa-Card/LisboaCard.pdf which outlines the full list of services offered by the Lisboa Card.

METRO (Subway/Underground)

Lisbon's metro (subway or underground) is modern, clean, and efficient. It runs from 6:30am to 1:00am, and many of its stations are decorated with contemporary art, making it a tourist attraction in itself.

Go to www.metrolisboa.pt for additional information.

Some stops to note:

• Cais do Sodré: For trains to Cascais and Estoril, trams for Belém, and ferries to the Monument to Christ
• Entrecampos: For trains to Sintra
• São Sebastião: For the Gulbenkian Museum
• Jardim Zoologico: For the Sete Rios bus terminal for express buses to all over Portugal
• Colegio Militar-Luz: For the Colombo shopping mall and the Benfica stadium
• Oriente: For national and international trains, city buses, and all the Parque das Nações attractions

Trams

• Riding tram 28 just for the experience is a must in Lisbon.  The best place to get on board is by Miradouro das Portas do Sol (we suggest ending your journey by Estrela Basilica)
• Tram 15 is also the best way to reach Belem from downtown.  You can hop on 15 either at Figueira Square or Comercio Square(getting off by Jeronimos Monastery).

TAXI SERVICES

Taxis in Lisbon are beige and usually have the word TAXI on top. Journeys start with a standard charge of around 2 Euros and the distance is metred from then on. Make sure you don't forget anything as it is so hard to find that taxi again.

To reach attractions outside the centre or to get around late at night (after 1am when the metro closes), you should take a taxi. It should not cost more than 10 euros to go between anywhere within the city and the center (Baixa).
