It is very convenient for public transportation. You have to be organized to be able to redeem it and pay attention to which attractions are not operational. It is not practical the need to exchange it to have it physically, since in my case it implied having to wait in line for the first time to exchange it. And it didn't save me from queuing at the monuments because so many people had the Lisbon card that even if I didn't have to buy the ticket, there were also queues to pass it through the automatic readers. I would buy it again because it saved me money, which was the main objective.

This is a great offer to explore many attractions in and around Lisbon - if used properly. Unfortunately, I don't think I have planned wisely, but it is still great to have. Some useful tips: - Some attractions (e.g. monastery) has a separate line for Lisboa card holders, but are filtered into a single line with regular visitors. Still much faster, but don't expect instant entry. - Don't even try using the card at very crowded attractions, like the Pena Palace or at Quinta da Regaleira. You simply have to reserve a timeslot for the best experience.

We had an embarrassing experience on the tram, when we entered and wantes to use the card it didn't allow us enter the tram, it said we have run out of the validity time, so we needed to get off the tram and walk half an hour to get into an info point, unfortunately when we arrived it was closed( they had lunch break) so we needed to wait for an hour more. Next time I'm not sure we will buy this card again. Anyhow it was useful (instead of this experience) for public transport.

Enter the 12th-century Alcobaça Monastery with this entry ticket or a Lisbon Card to marvel at the Gothic architecture of the Alcobaça Monastery, built by the monks of the Order of Cistercians.

Visit the resting place of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro—their tombs are masterpieces of Gothic sculpture.

See the church, King’s Hall, Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence, Refectory, Kitchen Monk’s Hall, and more.

Upgrade your ticket by purchasing a Lisbon Card that provides you entry to over 39 attractions across a time period of 24, 48, or 72 hours.

Highlights were access & unexpected extras. We appreciated being fast tracked on a long queue at jeronimos monastery, the efficiency of public transport in the city & visiting places we wouldn't have thought of (eg carriage museum was surprisingly interesting!). Don't miss the resistance Museum for a different side to Portuguese history. I would suggest reading carefully what exactly the card entitles. I got caught that it doesn't cover public transport around Sintra (& that it only gives a 10% discount there - & you still have to book ahead for a times ticket!). Maybe I didn't read details enough - maybe it was not made clear enough. Also worth checking what places will be shut when you visit (included access to Belém tower was t helpful when it is shut for renovation). We got our value, but not in Sintra (which used a day of our 72 hours).

Excellent experience with Headout. Easy pick up and easy entrance at the Lisbon Oceanarium. The Oceanarium experience itself is amazing and the whole area around it. We used the card for the discount at the science museum as well. Skipping the line at Jerónimos monastery was also great, because there were quite a lot tourist groups. All in all - I recommend it.

Really great, no regrets. I got the 72-hour pass and made the most of it, following the 3-day itinerary on the website. You'll be glad you did.

The first Gothic structure in Portugal

The Alcobaça Monastery is the first Portuguese Gothic structure, crucial in the 12th century's establishment of the Portuguese Kingdom. Monks of the Order of Cistercians began constructing the monastery in 1778. No trip to Portugal is complete without seeing Europe's finest example of Cistercian architecture.

Discover how the monks lived

Walk to the heart of the monastery, where the Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence lies. It gives access to the refectory, the primitive kitchen, the monks’ hall, the chapter house, the church, and the dormitory. Be mesmerized by the Church of Saint Mary of Alcobaça, the first Gothic Portuguese church. Admire the King’s Hall, where the cladding of the walls with 18th-century tile panels depicts the monastic foundation.

Be awed by the medieval artwork

Inside the monastery, marvel at the masterpieces of medieval statues, the tombs of D. Pedro I, and Inês de Castro, and get to see the statues of São Bento and São Bernardo.
