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.

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.

Highlights were access & unexpected extras. We appreciated being fast tracked on a long queue at jeronimos monastery, the efficiency of public transport in the city & visiting places we wouldn't have thought of (eg carriage museum was surprisingly interesting!). Don't miss the resistance Museum for a different side to Portuguese history. I would suggest reading carefully what exactly the card entitles. I got caught that it doesn't cover public transport around Sintra (& that it only gives a 10% discount there - & you still have to book ahead for a times ticket!). Maybe I didn't read details enough - maybe it was not made clear enough. Also worth checking what places will be shut when you visit (included access to Belém tower was t helpful when it is shut for renovation). We got our value, but not in Sintra (which used a day of our 72 hours).

Really great, no regrets. I got the 72-hour pass and made the most of it, following the 3-day itinerary on the website. You'll be glad you did.

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
