Good organization for picking up the card at the airport. Very convenient for public transport, with a top-notch network. Access to the 28 tramway is a little difficult, but it's better to take it on the way rather than at the terminus, as recommended, because it takes over an hour to get on, even though the stops are marked along the way. The only drawback is that entrance fees are included, as it's hard to know where to go depending on the location. In fact, at the Belém monastery, we were refused entry despite having a valid card.

Very useful to have travel and have entry to key historical sites taken care of in one card. It was very easy to collect and use. We used it to get into the castle, Jeronimos monastery and then on the tram, metro and train from Cascais. We would have done the Belém tower as well but it was closed for maintenance.

See paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the early 19th century at this UNESCO World Heritage Site – now a museum.

Encounter Hieronymus Bosch‘s moral reflections like the Temptations of St. Anthony, Domingos Sequeira’s nativity art Adoration of the Magi, and more!

Add a Lisbon Card – valid for 24, 48, or 72 hours – to visit landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, National Museum of Ancient Art, etc.

Your card gives you access to public transport like metros, buses, and discounts on several cafes and restaurants.

Fun fact: In addition to the National Museum of Ancient Art, Ribeira Palace also houses the National Museum of Coaches and the National Museum of Costume and Fashion.

Includes lot of most famous sights and museums to suit every taste! Although a walkable city, the distance between areas can take precious time out of your break and the transport included is very useful . Train to Sintra is included in the ticket but not bus once you are there so need to pay public transport/tour bus/taxi or tuc tuc. Check what days things are closed as museums closed on Mondays and churches/monasteries possibly closed some days? Gives you discounts on other sights not included. Once there you can pick up small leaflet from information office that gives you a very comprehensive list of all sights and what is included for free, discounted sights and closeness that fits in your pocket! Several included sights give you fantastic views of city - Rua agusta arch, st. Jorges castle (go up through the streets of Alfama and use the outside esculator and take in views!) also you can go to top of the monument of the discoveries! Take opportunity to look into some of the museums included that you may not necessarily have gone in had you had to pay individually and you Will no doubt be rewarded with a great experience. Treasury museum and carriage museum two examples! Great value for money and gives you extra experiences you may not have considered to dip into as you pass by.

- The entry to the chateau st georges in LISBON was fast thanks to this card. On the other hand . It was specified that there was a 10% discount for admission to the SINTRA palace. Seeing the reduced senior rates, we didn't get the 10%, which isn't normal.

There was no explanation for the Bilbao cards access to the Belém monastery. It's free if all the other tickets haven't been sold. We were turned away twice over 2 days. We pass between the tickets we bought, so we're not sure we'll get in.

These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
