The card is extremaly convenient for the tourists that wants to get to know the city and in my personal opinion even for the locals who wants to enjoy a day and concentrate a lot of touristic places in one single day. The day was very predictive and unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy it all attractions so my suggestion is if is your first time in Lisbon you should plan at least the 2 day option, the sunset at castelo São Jorge was one of my favorite part of the day and the best way to appreciate and say goodbye to a Lisbon, really hope to comeback someday and for sure will use the Lisbon Card

Good organization for picking up the card at the airport. Very convenient for public transport, with a top-notch network. Access to the 28 tramway is a little difficult, but it's better to take it on the way rather than at the terminus, as recommended, because it takes over an hour to get on, even though the stops are marked along the way. The only drawback is that entrance fees are included, as it's hard to know where to go depending on the location. In fact, at the Belém monastery, we were refused entry despite having a valid card.

Includes lot of most famous sights and museums to suit every taste! Although a walkable city, the distance between areas can take precious time out of your break and the transport included is very useful . Train to Sintra is included in the ticket but not bus once you are there so need to pay public transport/tour bus/taxi or tuc tuc. Check what days things are closed as museums closed on Mondays and churches/monasteries possibly closed some days? Gives you discounts on other sights not included. Once there you can pick up small leaflet from information office that gives you a very comprehensive list of all sights and what is included for free, discounted sights and closeness that fits in your pocket! Several included sights give you fantastic views of city - Rua agusta arch, st. Jorges castle (go up through the streets of Alfama and use the outside esculator and take in views!) also you can go to top of the monument of the discoveries! Take opportunity to look into some of the museums included that you may not necessarily have gone in had you had to pay individually and you Will no doubt be rewarded with a great experience. Treasury museum and carriage museum two examples! Great value for money and gives you extra experiences you may not have considered to dip into as you pass by.

- The entry to the chateau st georges in LISBON was fast thanks to this card. On the other hand . It was specified that there was a 10% discount for admission to the SINTRA palace. Seeing the reduced senior rates, we didn't get the 10%, which isn't normal.

There was no explanation for the Bilbao cards access to the Belém monastery. It's free if all the other tickets haven't been sold. We were turned away twice over 2 days. We pass between the tickets we bought, so we're not sure we'll get in.

These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

The first Gothic structure in Portugal

The Alcobaça Monastery is the first Portuguese Gothic structure, crucial in the 12th century's establishment of the Portuguese Kingdom. Monks of the Order of Cistercians began constructing the monastery in 1778. No trip to Portugal is complete without seeing Europe's finest example of Cistercian architecture.

Discover how the monks lived

Walk to the heart of the monastery, where the Cloister of King Dinis or Cloister of Silence lies. It gives access to the refectory, the primitive kitchen, the monks’ hall, the chapter house, the church, and the dormitory. Be mesmerized by the Church of Saint Mary of Alcobaça, the first Gothic Portuguese church. Admire the King’s Hall, where the cladding of the walls with 18th-century tile panels depicts the monastic foundation.

Be awed by the medieval artwork

Inside the monastery, marvel at the masterpieces of medieval statues, the tombs of D. Pedro I, and Inês de Castro, and get to see the statues of São Bento and São Bernardo.
