Very easy to use for all transport, including the train to Sintra or Caiscais, the historic streetcar, and all Lisbon transport. Very easy to get into monuments, simply by presenting the card, sometimes even with a queue-cutter to save waiting time. And also discounts on souvenir purchases at Lisbon city information centers. The latter was a surprise for me. I'd recommend it if you want to visit a lot of monuments that would be expensive on their own. On the other hand, if you're planning to visit only free places or few paying sites, then simply pay by credit card directly, including for transport. Make your calculations! We're delighted.

It was great that you didn't have to worry about whether you could take the bus or not. You could often get in quicker than if you had to buy a ticket on the spot. I really liked the Crown Jewels exhibition. We went there in the afternoon and there was hardly anything going on.

The ticket for the palace The ticket for the palace was the same one you get with the app, so it's very easy to access. However, the Lisbon Card was more complicated because the downtown offices closed at lunchtime, which was the time we arrived. However, there was no problem getting it later.

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.

I had to queue to enter each of the monuments I visited. there is a lack of clear information on how to do the whole process. The exchange should be done digitally, without having to go to any of the tourist offices and explain the process well.

The possibility of using mezzia for the same price should last 84 hours I was 5 days and I could have used an extra day!

Extremely practical and interesting card! It's a pity that it doesn't also exist for 4, 5 ... days in a row. Unfortunately for us, Sintra was closed due to the fires, but we were reimbursed without any problem!

No long waits for entering museums and visiting other landmarks, convenient to hop on and off busses, trains and trams. Peace of mind in a small card!

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!
