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).

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.

We visited the monastery without having seen any pictures before entering. It was a revelation. The atmosphere, the peace there. It was one of the most beautiful places we visited
