Thanks to the Lisboa Card, we enjoyed four wonderful days in Lisbon! What a lovely way to discover the city. With the list of attractions at hand, we planned our visits in advance so we could make the most of our stay. The card also encouraged us to explore places that initially seemed less appealing, and those turned out to be surprisingly fascinating. A fantastic journey of discovery!

Easy to pick up at the airport, it grants free admission to many museums and churches in Lisbon (others offer ticket discounts), and allows you to ride the famous tram 28.

Ordering was easy. Exchanging the voucher was also relatively simple. Where there is definitely room for improvement: reserving time slots at some attractions is only possible with the Lisboa Card serial number. However, you only get this upon exchanging the voucher. By then, available time slots are almost impossible to book. We had the 72-hour card and would only have been able to book time slots starting from the fourth day. So unfortunately, we couldn't see everything. But overall, the card is definitely worth it.

Easy to purchase the Lisboa Card, even simpler to use. Just tap in on the mode of transport you're using and on you get. It was also good for getting into attractions free, or the Catherdal with discount. Would definitely recommend if you plan on visiting lots of places when in Lisbon.

We purchased the Lisboa Card, which included 72 hours of access to all public transportation, over 50 free entries to museums and other attractions, and discounts at restaurants. Very useful if you want to see a lot of things and get around quickly.

Ordering the tickets online and picking them up (Centro Interpretativo da História do Bacalhau, Praça do Comércio) was quick and easy. We had no problems with the Lisboa Card at any attractions or on local transport/trains to Cascais.

Visit the former royal palace of Lisbon, the only one that is open to the public, with tickets to the National Palace of Ajuda.

Discover a vast collection of over 17,000 porcelain, earthenware, and stoneware works, and marvel at decorative arts such as paintings, and sculpture.

Opt for a Lisbon Card which gives you access to multiple attractions such as National Museum of Contemporary Art, Chiado Museum with 24 to 72-hour validity.

Your card gives you access to public transport including metros, buses, and even the famous Santa Justa Lift.

Fun fact: The Ajuda Palace was initially built as a temporary encampment where King José I took up residence.

The Lisboa Card is great for getting about on public transport and if you are able to make use of entry to attractions it's can also be cost effective... BUT! We were unable to book any slots to see either Belem Tower or the Monestary using them as they restrict the number of Lisboa Card bookings. We ended up paying full price to try and get tickets which was very dispapointing.

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
