Lisbon City Cards
Exploring Lisbon is easier with a city card that combines unlimited public transportation and access to major attractions into a single pass. The official Lisboa Card is designed for visitors who want to move effortlessly between neighborhoods, visit key cultural landmarks, and avoid the hassle of buying individual tickets. Available in several durations, it helps streamline your trip while offering clear savings if sightseeing is a priority.
Unlock the Best of Lisbon
Lisbon’s character is shaped by steep hills, historic districts, and attractions spread across the city and beyond. A Lisbon City Card brings these elements together by covering both mobility and culture in one product. While walking is part of the experience, public transportation is essential for reaching areas like Belém, Alfama, and Parque das Nações efficiently.
Most visitors opt for the official Lisboa Card, which works as both a transport pass and a museum card. Once activated, you can move freely across the city and enter many top sights without stopping at ticket counters, saving time as well as money.
The Official Lisboa Card
The most widely used option is the Lisboa Card. It is available for 24, 48, or 72 consecutive hours and is best suited for travelers planning multiple visits in a short period.
Typical inclusions are:
- Free transportation: Unlimited use of the Lisbon Metro, Carris buses, traditional yellow trams (including Tram 28), and the city’s funiculars.
- Regional trains: Free CP train travel to Sintra and Cascais, ideal for popular day trips.
- Free entry to major attractions: Includes sites such as the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, the National Tile Museum, and the Santa Justa Lift.
- Discounts: Reduced prices at a wide range of additional museums, monuments, and experiences.
Navigate the Hills with Ease
Transportation costs can add up quickly in Lisbon, especially for attractions that double as transport. The Santa Justa Lift, a 19th-century iron elevator connecting Baixa with Carmo Square, charges a separate fee for visitors without a pass. With the Lisboa Card, access is included.
The same applies to the Elevador da Glória and Elevador da Bica. These historic funiculars are practical ways to tackle Lisbon’s steep slopes and are considered attractions in their own right. Unlimited rides allow you to explore freely without worrying about the cost of each journey.
Practical Information
Before choosing a city card, consider how intensively you plan to use it.
- Activation: The card is activated on first use, either when entering public transport or visiting an included attraction.
- Validity: Time is counted in consecutive hours from activation, not by calendar days.
- Collection: The Lisboa Card is a physical card and must be collected in person, commonly at Lisbon Airport or central locations such as Praça do Comércio, before it can be used on transport gates.
Browse the available options to choose the Lisbon City Card that matches your itinerary and start exploring the city with fewer queues and more flexibility.
