Frequently asked questions about the Lisbon Card

21 comments . leave new.

Good morning, does the LISBONA CARD presented at the entrance to the various attractions guarantee a SKIP ROW and thus priority entry to the attractions?

Are there any places for which you need to reserve entry time or not? Is it possible to book the visiting schedule in the attractions, for example the visit to the Torre du Belem, with the LISBONA CARD? If yes how?

The Lisbon Card only allows you to skip the line at the Monasterio dos Jeronimos.

For the Belem Tower, you do not need to make reservations. All you have to do is show your Lisboa Card at the mirrored kiosk near the Tower and they will give you an entrance ticket to use during the attraction's opening hours.

The Kiosk is open daily from 9h to 18h. The tower can be visited from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5:30pm (last entrance is at 5pm).

Kind regards, Andrea

Hi, in order to take advantage of the 10% off Sintra Parque de Pena tickets, do I have to purchase the tickets online within the Lisbon card activation timeframe?

Yes, Osman.

Otherwise, you can buy the Lisboa Card + Pena Palace tickets .

If I purchase the Lisbon card online how can I make a reservation at Palazzo de Pena and the Quinta da Regaleira Palace taking advantage of the discount '

Good morning Giuliana, reservations are not necessary to access these attractions.

does the Lisbon Card + Penalty give the right to "Skip Tail" ?

Hi Alex, no. The Lisboa Card + Pena Palace package does not entitle you to "skip the line."

To purchase the package click here: Lisboa Card + Pena Palace .

A dear greeting Andrea

Buenas, quería preguntar si tengo la Lisboa Card y quiero entrar en un monumento que está en la lista de entradas gratuitas tengo que reservar la visita o puedo ir directamente y enseñar la Lisboa Card? En caso de que haga falta hacer reserva online cómo uso el descuento total o parcial de Lisboa Card? Hay algún código que se puede introducir? Sobre todo me interesaría saber qué hacer para comprar tickets del Oceanario y el Palacio da Pena. Gracias de antemano

Hola Isabel.

No, no es necesario reservar la entrada a las diferentes atracciones si tiene la tarjeta Lisboa Card.

Basta con presentarse en la taquilla para tener derecho al acceso.

Un saludo Andrea

A benefit of the Lisbon Card is the discount/free price at entry of the attraction. However, if tickets cannot be bought in advance for these attractions, how can I secure entry as tickets may sell out for the popular attractions like Castelo de São Jorge and Pena Castle.

Good morning Cherise, tickets can hardly sell out for the indicated attractions.

So, don't worry, you can purchase the Lisboa Card and gain access to the desired attractions.

Best Regards, Andrea

Hello! Is a ride on Tram 28 included in the LIsboa card? Thank you.

Yes, Siren. Unlimited rides on Tram 28 are included in Lisboa Card.

Lástima que dura 72 horas máximo, pues estaré 5 días en Portugal, ya no me alcanza para ir a Tomar, Batalah, Alcobaza, etc...

Hola. Estaré 20 días en Portugal. ¿Puedo adquirir una card para visitar las atracciones de Sintra, otra card para visitar las atracciones de Lisboa y otra card para visitar Tomar, Alcobaza y Batlah?

Cada card tendrá su propio folio para las 24/48 o 72 hrs?

Por supuesto, cada tarjeta tendrá su propia duración.

Puede adquirir Lisboa Cards aquí .

Saludos cordiales, Andrea

Si adquiero la card Lisboa tengo que reservar en el monasterio de los Jerónimos o basta sólo con mostrar la card en taquilla?

Con la tarjeta Lisboa Card puede evitar las colas en las taquillas e ir directamente a la cola de la entrada, ya que su tarjeta Lisboa Card ya es su entrada y no es necesario reservar.

Le recuerdo que puede visitar el Monasterio dos Jerónimos de martes a domingo, de 9:30 a 18:00 (última entrada a las 17:30).

Lisboa Card 2024: Lisbon’s Official Travel Card

Is the Lisboa Card worth investing in ? The short answer is a big YES, and it is the official tourist pass to the city.

During my travels, I have used different city cards. Still, this tourist card offers fantastic value and is worth getting if you plan on spending a lot of time in Lisbon.

Yet, having said that, there are several ways to use the Lisbon City Pass, and getting the best value depends on what you plan to do during your Lisbon trip.

What is The Lisboa Card?

Before investing in the Lisboa Card, let us ensure you know the basic facts about this tourist card.

The Lisbon Card, which you can buy for a specific time , offers free entry to various Lisbon sights and discounts at local businesses and other attractions.

The primary purpose of the Lisbon City Card is to provide free public transport while the card is active, and it also has a few other benefits. Hence, it is your Lisbon pass when you visit.

Hot Tip🔥: The Lisbon tourist card also saves you valuable time by preventing you from standing in lines, and when topped up, it gives you trip coverage. Meanwhile, in Lisbon, invest in a SIM card .

How Much is The Lisbon Card?

You have three options available when buying the Lisboa Card depending on the time you are in Lisbon as follows:

• The 72-hour Lisboa Card will cost you €54 for an adult and €30.50 for a child.
• The 48-hour Lisboa Card will cost you €44 for an adult and €24.50 for a child. 
• The 24-hour Lisboa Card will cost you €27 for an adult and €18 for a child.

In this case, a child is defined as being between 4 to 15 years old.

Important Note 🗒: The simple tourist card you find available in hours and not days. For example, if you use it on a Tuesday at 10 AM, it is valid until Wednesday at 10 AM.

Where Can You Buy The Lisboa Card?

You can find the pass to most tourist activities in several Lisbon places once you purchase it online. These include:

• The Lisbon Airport  arrivals terminal.
• The main tourist office (Lisboa Welcome Center) is at the large Comércio Plaza at the waterfront in Baixa.
• The tourist office (Foz Palace) is next to the Rossio train station, which takes you to Sintra .
• You can get your Lisbon Card at the central station, St Apolonia International Railway Station.
• You can also get your Lisbon Card at any designated kiosk in Baixa , Belem , or Rua Augusta.

Hot Tip🔥: The fastest option is to buy it in advance , which is much more convenient and saves time. You can then pop in at the Lisbon Airport arrivals terminal or other places on the list.

The time limit on the Lisbon Card starts when you use it for the first time, not when you buy or pick  it up. So, you can travel from the airport and start using it immediately or the next day.

Free Attractions with the Lisboa Card

Attractions with discounts using the lisbon card.

Important Note: The following attractions are not included in the Lisbon Card:

• Fronteira Palace
• Military Museum
• Decorative Arts Museum
• Geological Museum of Portugal
• Botanical Garden

Hot Tip🔥 : The Lisbon card is a great way to save costs in Lisbon. But there are many other ways to visit Lisbon on a budget to save even more. Check it out today.

How To Get Value Using The Lisbon Card

Using the official tourist card will depend on how long you are in Lisbon and what interests you.

Using Lisbon Card For a Day

If you plan to use the official city travel card for a day, I recommend spending half of your day in Belem to see the essential sights. I suggest you visit:

• Belem Tower costs around € 8.50
• Jerónimos Monastery costs around €12
• National Museum of Coaches (typically €8)
• MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology) normally €11

For the other half of your day, you can visit some of Lisbon’s historic center’s main signs and museums.

• National Museum of Ancient Art (usually €10)
• Lisboa Story Center (typically €7.5)
• National Pantheon (typically €8)
• Pilar 7 Bridge Experience (normally €5.50)

Hot Tip🔥: Using the card, all public transport between these major museums is free , including the train to Belem.

To show you the savings, I will use the example of the unlimited public transport card, which is €6.

The total cost for all of the above is €70.50, and using the 24-hour Lisboa Card will cost €27, saving you up to €43.50 in one day.

Using The Lisboa Card For Two Days

To get value from the Lisboa Card for two days, I recommend the following: The card includes some of the attractions mentioned before.

• Adjuda Palace costing €8
• National Coach Museum (typically €8)

On the second day, you can focus on sites around Baixa and use your card to access the ones with free entry to save money. Here I recommend visiting:

• National Tile Museum costs around € 8
• National Pantheon costs around €8
• Lisboa Story Center €7.50
• National Museum Contemporary Art (typically €8)
• National Museum of Ancient Art normally €10
• Rua August Arch (normally €4.27)

Other sites nearby worth visiting and that are free using the Lisboa Card are the following:

• Roman Theatre Museum €3
• Saint Anthony Museum normally €3
• Santa Justa Elevator €5.30

When calculating the two days, paying individually for museum tickets will cost €83.30, while using the 48-hour Lisbon Card will cost you €44. So you save €58.07 over two days.

So, the longer you use the card, the more value you get.

Using The Simple Tourist Card For Three Days

You can use the 72-hour Lisbon Card for three days. However, I recommend following the 48-hour plan above.

You will have one more day to travel further and see the other fantastic sights in the Lisbon City Cards.

So make sure of your official card traveling with public transport and focus on your out-of-town attractions.

Still, I recommend including these attractions that offer free entry:

• The Royal Palace of Mafra (typically €8)
• Abbey of Alcobaça, with sacristy (usually €10)
• The Convent and Castle of Tomar (normally €10)
• Monastery of Batalha (usually €10)

You can also save getting discounts using your card on a day trip to Sintra. The train ticket will typically cost you a return of €4.60, but it will be free.

You can get discounts on your entrance tickets at the main sights.

Hot Tip🔥: Alternatively, you can get the Lisbon-Sintra Pass that includes the Lisbon Card and tickets to the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, and Pena Park.

You get audio guides to use with your smartphone included, which is a great deal and will save you time and money. 

Lisboa Card Benefits

When embarking on a journey through Lisbon, this magical card offers you loads of benefits:

Unlimited Public Transport : The Lisboa Card’s most practical perk is its unlimited access to Lisbon’s public transportation network. It is a card for transportation on trams, buses, metro, elevators, and funiculars.

This saves you money on individual tickets and offers the freedom to hop on and off at your leisure, ensuring you never miss a beat exploring the city’s diverse neighborhoods.

Complimentary Museum Access : Delve into Lisbon’s rich cultural tapestry with free entry to 26 museums, monuments, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

When is The Lisbon Card Not Worth It?

The Lisbon Card is not made for everyone. Therefore, I recommend you consider what suits your situation.

If you do not plan to see many of the attractions included in the card and only want to see one or two, it will not be of any value.

It also makes no sense to use it if you get student discounts or a reduced rate as a visitor aged 65 or above.

You cannot buy a concession Lisbon Card (only one child aged 4-15); thus, the savings will not be as good.

Also, consider the days you plan to do sightseeing on a Monday as most museums are closed on those days, and it is not worth using the card.

Hot Tip🔥:  Check out what the Navegante Card offers. Think 🤔 of it when exploring Lisbon using the massive transport system available.

Lisbon Enthusiast

I first moved to Lisbon back in 2018, while working as a freelancer. It was my lifelong dream to move outside the borders of Denmark to find a warm country with the ability to dream, work and live my life. I lived in Lisbon for a year, and I continue to visit multiple times every year. It's by far my favourite travel destination. Lisbon has so much to offer to anyone.
