Great deal, the card was picked up at the airport. Immediate transport from the airport to St. George's Church. The bus is included, as is the entrance fee. There are a few additional attractions with free admission, including a ride on tram 28. I recommend it

It is very convenient for public transportation. You have to be organized to be able to redeem it and pay attention to which attractions are not operational. It is not practical the need to exchange it to have it physically, since in my case it implied having to wait in line for the first time to exchange it. And it didn't save me from queuing at the monuments because so many people had the Lisbon card that even if I didn't have to buy the ticket, there were also queues to pass it through the automatic readers. I would buy it again because it saved me money, which was the main objective.

This is a great offer to explore many attractions in and around Lisbon - if used properly. Unfortunately, I don't think I have planned wisely, but it is still great to have. Some useful tips: - Some attractions (e.g. monastery) has a separate line for Lisboa card holders, but are filtered into a single line with regular visitors. Still much faster, but don't expect instant entry. - Don't even try using the card at very crowded attractions, like the Pena Palace or at Quinta da Regaleira. You simply have to reserve a timeslot for the best experience.

We had an embarrassing experience on the tram, when we entered and wantes to use the card it didn't allow us enter the tram, it said we have run out of the validity time, so we needed to get off the tram and walk half an hour to get into an info point, unfortunately when we arrived it was closed( they had lunch break) so we needed to wait for an hour more. Next time I'm not sure we will buy this card again. Anyhow it was useful (instead of this experience) for public transport.

When activating our Lisboa Card at the airport, our card was not registered, although we were able to show a QR code and had paid in advance. The employee at the information desk tried very hard to find our cards, but without success. In the end, he gave us two Lisboa Cards against a signature, which worked perfectly.

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.

Visit the former royal palace of Lisbon, the only one that is open to the public, with tickets to the National Palace of Ajuda.

Opt for a Lisbon Card which gives you access to multiple attractions such as National Museum of Contemporary Art, Chiado Museum with 24 to 72-hour validity.

It was very easy to purchase Lisbon Pass cards on this website. Picking them up at Lisbon Airport was hassle-free. What is included and what is not is very clear.

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!
