Ordering was easy. Exchanging the voucher was also relatively simple. Where there is definitely room for improvement: reserving time slots at some attractions is only possible with the Lisboa Card serial number. However, you only get this upon exchanging the voucher. By then, available time slots are almost impossible to book. We had the 72-hour card and would only have been able to book time slots starting from the fourth day. So unfortunately, we couldn't see everything. But overall, the card is definitely worth it.

Easy to purchase the Lisboa Card, even simpler to use. Just tap in on the mode of transport you're using and on you get. It was also good for getting into attractions free, or the Catherdal with discount. Would definitely recommend if you plan on visiting lots of places when in Lisbon.

Ordering the tickets online and picking them up (Centro Interpretativo da História do Bacalhau, Praça do Comércio) was quick and easy. We had no problems with the Lisboa Card at any attractions or on local transport/trains to Cascais.

Super happy to have found this activity on your site. It was really very enriching and, above all, a magnificent palace—I'd even say more beautiful than the Palace of Versailles, since I've seen both.

The Lisboa card was so easy and convenient to use. Free trains, trams, buses and metro plus free or discounted entry to landmarks. Would definitely recommend.

Contacting me proactively gave me confidence in their service. I appreciated that they were available and answered my question (were very few, but still).

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
