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.

-Explore the magnificent National Palace of Mafra at your own pace and marvel at the largest library with over 36,000 different book volumes.

Discover the parts of this complex that are the basilica, a convent, an 18th-century infirmary, a game reserve along the Royal Palace.

Witness the Palace's artistic marvels and musical heritage, featuring sculptures, paintings, carillons with 92 bells, and historic organs.

You can choose to upgrade your ticket and get the Lisbon Card for 24, 48, or 72 hours to explore all of Lisbon including general entry to the National Palace of Mafra.

Fun fact: The Palace took 13 years and involved a vast army of 15,000 workers on average per day eventually increasing to 30,000 and as many as 45,000.

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!
