Very easy to use for all transport, including the train to Sintra or Caiscais, the historic streetcar, and all Lisbon transport. Very easy to get into monuments, simply by presenting the card, sometimes even with a queue-cutter to save waiting time. And also discounts on souvenir purchases at Lisbon city information centers. The latter was a surprise for me. I'd recommend it if you want to visit a lot of monuments that would be expensive on their own. On the other hand, if you're planning to visit only free places or few paying sites, then simply pay by credit card directly, including for transport. Make your calculations! We're delighted.

It was great that you didn't have to worry about whether you could take the bus or not. You could often get in quicker than if you had to buy a ticket on the spot. I really liked the Crown Jewels exhibition. We went there in the afternoon and there was hardly anything going on.

The ticket for the palace The ticket for the palace was the same one you get with the app, so it's very easy to access. However, the Lisbon Card was more complicated because the downtown offices closed at lunchtime, which was the time we arrived. However, there was no problem getting it later.

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.

I had to queue to enter each of the monuments I visited. there is a lack of clear information on how to do the whole process. The exchange should be done digitally, without having to go to any of the tourist offices and explain the process well.

The possibility of using mezzia for the same price should last 84 hours I was 5 days and I could have used an extra day!

Extremely practical and interesting card! It's a pity that it doesn't also exist for 4, 5 ... days in a row. Unfortunately for us, Sintra was closed due to the fires, but we were reimbursed without any problem!

No long waits for entering museums and visiting other landmarks, convenient to hop on and off busses, trains and trams. Peace of mind in a small card!

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