Yes, my family and I really enjoyed the trip to the zoo. We had a lot of fun, and it was so cool. We absolutely loved the dolphin show; it was fantastic, they are so cool! We also loved seeing many other animals up close, it was really wonderful. The skip-the-line entry was amazing—everything was great and well-organized. Kudos to the zoo team, we will be back soon to see these wonders again.

Lisbon zoo was easy to find the train stopped at the front gate. Easy access and and very helpful staff. Each exhibit was well signed with explanation about animal. Easy zoo to navigate and the chair lift was great, you got to see some of the wild cats a little bit easier as some were hiding up on their platforms. Overall a very good zoo and would recommend a visit and put on your must do list when visiting Lisbon.

Very nice for visiting many places when you have a short time in Lisbon. We highly recommend this bus company! In our opinion, the red line is the best. The purple line is less interesting, or only worth it for the two football stadiums. What's more, we don't recommend doing it at the end of the day because of heavy traffic; it took 30 minutes longer than initially planned, which prevented us from taking the blue line.

We enjoyed the different tours that were offered and the comfortable buses. We did not enjoy the night tour which was identical to the red tour we took earlier that day. This omitted some of the most iconic stops to see at night. That was disappointing. Our next was stop Cadiz. I use the 10% discount for the hop on hop off but there but it would not take it. Hopefully our stop in Barcelona will be different.

After purchasing the ticket online, you need to pick up the paper ticket by going to M. De Pombal Square. The square is large, but we immediately found the spot where the red buses are parked, and a friendly hostess printed our ticket with the QR code. In just one day, we first took the red route and then the blue one. We appreciated being able to get a bird’s-eye view of a city like Lisbon, which is large and spread out across the hills.
