Ordering was easy. Exchanging the voucher was also relatively simple. Where there is definitely room for improvement: reserving time slots at some attractions is only possible with the Lisboa Card serial number. However, you only get this upon exchanging the voucher. By then, available time slots are almost impossible to book. We had the 72-hour card and would only have been able to book time slots starting from the fourth day. So unfortunately, we couldn't see everything. But overall, the card is definitely worth it.

Easy to purchase the Lisboa Card, even simpler to use. Just tap in on the mode of transport you're using and on you get. It was also good for getting into attractions free, or the Catherdal with discount. Would definitely recommend if you plan on visiting lots of places when in Lisbon.

We purchased the Lisboa Card, which included 72 hours of access to all public transportation, over 50 free entries to museums and other attractions, and discounts at restaurants. Very useful if you want to see a lot of things and get around quickly.

Ordering the tickets online and picking them up (Centro Interpretativo da História do Bacalhau, Praça do Comércio) was quick and easy. We had no problems with the Lisboa Card at any attractions or on local transport/trains to Cascais.

-Explore the magnificent National Palace of Mafra at your own pace and marvel at the largest library with over 36,000 different book volumes.

Discover the parts of this complex that are the basilica, a convent, an 18th-century infirmary, a game reserve along the Royal Palace.

Witness the Palace's artistic marvels and musical heritage, featuring sculptures, paintings, carillons with 92 bells, and historic organs.

You can choose to upgrade your ticket and get the Lisbon Card for 24, 48, or 72 hours to explore all of Lisbon including general entry to the National Palace of Mafra.

The Lisboa Card is great for getting about on public transport and if you are able to make use of entry to attractions it's can also be cost effective... BUT! We were unable to book any slots to see either Belem Tower or the Monestary using them as they restrict the number of Lisboa Card bookings. We ended up paying full price to try and get tickets which was very dispapointing.
