    Perfect experience!!! We spent 3 days in Lisbon and bought LisboaCard which allowed us to discover the city and region without stress. Everything is included in LisboaCard, metro, bus, streetcar and even the train to Sintra! You can visit museums for free and get 10% off your bill in restaurants! A great experience!
