The vibrant, liberal, and welcoming capital city of Portugal really does have it all. Thousands of years of<br />
history, exciting beaches, and amazing food await visitors hungry for the city’s unique blend of cultures,<br />
both old and new.<br />
LISBON | THE<br />
LAID-BACK<br />
CAPITAL<br />
Getting In & Around<br />
As it’s the capital city of Portugal, flights are plentiful and<br />
usually inexpensive. Humberto Delgado Airport isn’t miles<br />
outside of the city either, meaning you’re less than 10 km<br />
away from the heart of downtown when you arrive.<br />
Once you’ve arrived, we don’t recommend driving unless you<br />
plan on leaving the city. Thanks to Lisbon’s extensive and<br />
budget-friendly public transport network, you can beat the<br />
constant traffic and see the sights on your way.<br />
We can’t recommend the Lisboa Card enough. With prices<br />
starting at a reasonable €21, you get free travel on all<br />
public transport as well as unlimited access to the main<br />
museums, galleries, and attractions in the city. It’s an<br />
invaluable resource and a great way to start your adventure.<br />
Our favourite way to get around the city is by tram. The<br />
routes crisscross almost every district of the city and the<br />
number 28 is like a city tour all on its own. It visits most of the<br />
popular sights and, with the Lisboa Card, you won’t ever be<br />
overcharged.<br />
