Great experience and friendly staff. Zoo is full of animals and the kids loved it. It’s organized and clean with a wide variety of animals. Nice small areas for snacks, pizzas, coffee, cold beer, etc… Areas for improvement are: 1) this doesn’t aspire to be an international zoo. Most signs especially explanatory ones are in Portuguese only. 2) the dolphin show which staff told us is the highlight show was below average compared to the one we saw a few days earlier in Zoomarine. Also, anchor talks in Portuguese only which makes it even more boring to international guests. Recommend to buy tickets in advance online to save the tickets queue.

We went with low expectations because the weather forecast for today was terrible. Luckily, it gave us a bit of a break. I liked the zoo, although I noticed that some of the facilities are small and outdated.

We loved this experience on the Cityrama Hop-On Hop-Off bus in Lisbon! The three routes (blue, red, and purple) let you explore the city from different angles and see many must-see sights. The only slight downside was the red route, which seemed to drive a bit faster than the others. As a result, we weren’t able to fully enjoy some of the scenery or take as many photos as we would have liked. Despite that, this activity remains a wonderful memory of our trip. It’s an excellent way to explore Lisbon, especially on a first visit. We highly recommend it!

Having the digital tickets made entry very easy. No line to wait in. We had a special time at the chimpanzee exhibit watching them all dote on the little baby chimp!

We really loved our tour. The only thing that bothered us were the crackling noises coming from the earphones on the first bus. The QR code on the map was supposed to link to "Real-Time Bus Tracking," but unfortunately, it just takes you to the App Store. We highly recommend the Belém Line.

Cover the city's top landmarks and enjoy a global wildlife experience without the stress of navigating public transit between them.

Enjoy full access to the animal habitats, themed zones, Dolphin Bay, and the daily bird presentations with your Lisbon Zoo ticket.

Mingle with local farm animals in the picnic and outdoor areas. You can pack your lunch and play with them afterwards before continuing your exploration.

Set your own itinerary with a 24-hour Hop-on Hop-off bus pass, choosing from multiple lines that stop near key attractions, including routes that pass right by the zoo.

Listen to pre-recorded onboard audio commentary as you ride, ensuring you learn about Lisbon's history while traveling between your chosen stops.

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.
