Great deal, the card was picked up at the airport. Immediate transport from the airport to St. George's Church. The bus is included, as is the entrance fee. There are a few additional attractions with free admission, including a ride on tram 28. I recommend it

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.

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.

The Liaboa card let me explore multiple museums that were easy to access using public transit. I explored many parts of the city that I thought I wouldn't have time for. The variety of attractions the Lisboa card is expansive, which made for a wonderful trip!

The card is extremaly convenient for the tourists that wants to get to know the city and in my personal opinion even for the locals who wants to enjoy a day and concentrate a lot of touristic places in one single day. The day was very predictive and unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it all attractions so my suggestion is if is your first time in Lisbon you should plan at least the 2 day option, the sunset at castelo São Jorge was one of my favorite part of the day and the best way to appreciate and say goodbye to a Lisbon, really hope to comeback someday and for sure will use the Lisbon Card
