With this card I had free or reduced access to many attractions and free transportation, that allowed us to visit even places far away. I can recommend this form of city exploration. It"s easy accessible ant gives many possibilities.Myriam

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 autonomy that gives you to have a card with which you can access transport without problem and a lot of monuments. They should consider the option of making a card for four days, we missed the last day and we would have loved to have Lisbon 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!
