The card is very useful when visiting several museums and using public transport. It offers significant savings, especially for the 72-hour pass. It's very easy to use.

Easy to pick up and easy to use. Regarding São Jorge castle, we couldn't use the card directly as access, like others at attractions, but had to pick up free tickets at the ticket office, i.e. we had to queue there instead of being able to use our own card and skip the queue.

The wide variety of visits on offer and the pass's practicality in organizing the day make a stay with the Lisboa pass a smooth one.

I really liked the cloister, the ornamentation of the columns and capitals is very rich. I find the Manueline style very interesting. Also the sacritistia with the wood and leather furniture and the very unique books.

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.
