Overall rating

4.4
(5,188 reviews)

With the Lisbon card you can visit many places of interest without additional charge. It is also an excellent option either to move within Lisbon or to visit Sintra and Cascais. In my personal case, the Lisboa Card was worth it

We spent 3 nights in Lisbon and had a really great time. Used the Metro, trams and trains allowed on the card and really easy to use. Would recommend the card, it saved us a lot of money and hassle.

Fantastic, I’ll say for 24 hours unless you have a packed day it may best to just pay for things. But the ease and simplicity was fantastic

Card Useful and practical for visiting the city, skipping lines and moving around the city quickly.

Thus card is a must use for tourist, easy to use and cost effective.
