Having access to public transportation at any time was very helpful, Some attractions even had a separate line, so you didn't have to wait as long

It was very easy to purchase Lisbon Pass cards on this website. Picking them up at Lisbon Airport was hassle-free. What is included and what is not is very clear.

Sure, the Lisboa Card is really convenient for public transportation, and it also makes getting into attractions easier. The price for a 1- or 2-day pass isn’t exactly a bargain, precisely because you can’t visit that many attractions in just a few days—they’re often quite far apart—and you’ll still have to wait in line, even if the lines are shorter! In March… imagine what it’s like in August!! And then if you lose it, like I did...!!! Luckily, I only went missing for half a day.

Unfortunately, the priority access to the Jerónimos Monastery didn't work out, since a long line had already formed in front of the monastery and everyone had a Lisboa Card. I would recommend booking a timed entry slot online. Using public transportation went really smoothly.

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.

-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.

Fun fact: The Palace took 13 years and involved a vast army of 15,000 workers on average per day eventually increasing to 30,000 and as many as 45,000.

I tried to buy a 48 hour ticket online but the website wouldn't let me and I couldn't get any help. Therefore, I was not able to use the lisboacard for anything but a train ride to Sintra. The palace didn't charge as much as you did for entrance which I could have bought there instead if I had known in order to save money. You also didn't offer a senior discount.
