LISBON TOURISM GUIDE

Discovering the city of the sea; the city of the explorers.

Lisbon, Portugal

EUROPE STARTS HERE - Welcome to Europe's West Coast!

Lisbon is Europe's second-oldest capital (after Athens), once home to the world's greatest explorers, like Vasco da Gama, Magellan and Prince Henry the Navigator, becoming the first true world city, the capital of an empire spreading over all continents -- from South America (Brazil) to Asia (Macao, China; Goa, India). The former launch pad for many of the world's greatest voyages is now where modern travelers discover... : ...one of Europe's most soulful , captivating and picturesque capitals, built on a series of hills with scenic vistas from every angle. ...the city of the oceans, the only European capital with sunsets on the sea , so close to sandy beaches and with one of the world's largest state-of-the-art aquariums . ...one of the world's greatest natural harbors which attracted different civilizations, now reflected in its architecture and culture recalling Phoenicians, Celts, Romans, Visigoths and Moors. ...a charming visual time-warp with vintage trams and medieval village-like neighborhoods . ...a lively but serene and melancholic place with an insatiable appetite for long dinners, coffee breaks and nightlife . ... World Heritage monuments and singular museum treasures, from international design and contemporary art, to treasures from when the East met West, to the ancient art of tile painting and gilding. ...a reminiscence of the romantic decay of Venice, the exoticism of Naples or Istanbul, the laid-backness of Rome, echos of San Francisco, and Iberian spirit. ...one of Europe's capitals of Romanticism, a real fairytale just minutes from the city center ( Sintra ). ...the safe haven of WWII that remains a peaceful city in a tumultuous world.

Lisbon

10 Reasons Why You Should Go to Lisbon

  • CULTURE : It's one of the world's great historic cities, with characteristic and surprising sights, cultural treasures, and a beautiful setting that make it a paradise for walkers and photographers.
  • VALUE : It's one of Europe's best values -- officially Western Europe's least expensive capital.
  • LOCATION : It's the closest European capital to the United States and just around a 2-hour flight from the major European cities.
  • CLIMATE : Its mild climate makes it an ideal year-round destination. Even in winter, when most other European cities are freezing, in Lisbon high temperatures rarely go below 10C (50F).
  • RESORT : It's a European capital but located close to sandy beaches, enabling visitors to combine culture with fun by the sea.
  • SIZE : It's a compact and intimate city, ideal for a short city break or a longer romantic stay, with a lively café culture and a nightlife that is one of the most vibrant in Europe.
  • VARIETY : Its surroundings offer an incredible variety of tourist attractions, from fairytale palaces in one of Europe's most romantic towns ( Sintra ), to world-class golf and fun in Europe's largest casino in Estoril , to surfing in Cascais or escaping to a natural park in Arrábida , to dolphin-watching in Setúbal .
  • GATEWAY : It makes a perfect base to explore many of Portugal 's most outstanding towns and villages, from Evora to Obidos .
  • SAFETY : It's one of the safest European capitals. Tourists are always automatic targets in all big cities and visitors should beware of pickpocketing in Lisbon, but serious random violent crime is practically unheard of in this city.
  • WELCOMING : It's a friendly city with a cosmopolitan population, welcoming to all visitors and families with children, and open to minorities and alternative lifestyles.

Lisbon Travel Guide

Planning a Trip to Portugal's Capital

lisbon tourism office

TripSavvy / Gautier Houba  

The westernmost capital of mainland Europe occupies a stunning position on the Atlantic coast where the Tagus river empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

While the population of Lisbon proper is a little over half a million people, the Lisbon Metropolitan Area is composed of 2.8 million people. Lisbon is a very walkable city.

Influenced by the Gulf stream, Lisbon has one of the mildest climates of western Europe. Winter and early spring offers the most rain, but it snows only infrequently in Lisbon and freezing temperatures are rarely felt. Mist off the Atlantic sometimes makes Lisbon feel cooler than inland Portugal. For Lisbon historic temperatures and rainfall, as well as current weather conditions, see Lisbon, Portugal Weather .

Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)

Lisbon Portela Airport is located 7km north of the city of Lisbon. There are two taxi stands at the single airport terminal, outside Departures and Arrivals. The new extension of the Red line connects the international airport to the Lisbon metro system. See the metro map .

ScottUrb provides transport to the airport from the Estoril and Cascais area. Buses operate every day and leave every hour from ​07:00am to 10:30pm.

Rail Stations

Lisbon has several railway stations: Santa Apolónia and the Gare do Oriente are the major ones. All offer access to the city center via public transport or are within walking distance. Santa Apolónia, the larger main station, has a tourist information office. Rossio station is located in the heart of Lisbon. [Map of stations]

Lisbon Tourist Offices

There is a good tourism office located at the Arrivals hall of Lisbon Airport. If you don't have a hotel reservation when you arrive, this is the place to get your map and make lodging plans. Other offices are located at Apolónia rail station, Mosteiro Jerónimos in Belém. There is a kiosk n the heart of the city in old quarter of Baixa, that will answer all your questions as you walk around in this fascinating city. The main Lisboa Ask Me Centre is in the Placa do Comércio.

The Lisbon Tourism web site is Visit Lisboa .

Lisbon Accommodations

Hotels in Lisbon cost less than in most other capitals of Western Europe. This makes Lisbon a great place to splurge on a level of luxury you can't normally afford. I've had great stays at the five star Dom Pedro and the Lapa Palace.

The Bairro Alto Hotel is a favorite with visiting Americans. Even if you're not staying there, its panoramic terrace is a fine place to have a drink in the afternoon or evening.

If you need an apartment in Lisbon, HomeAway lists almost 1000 vacation rentals in Lisbon district.

Transportation Passes

7 Colinas - one card gets you on pretty much every transport system in Lisbon. The rechargeable card has an antenna that you hold near a reader found on Carris buses and trams and at the underground to allow admittance. It's rechargeable, and a great value for transportation in Lisbon.

The new Navegante Pass offers full mobility throughout the city of Lisbon by integrating the public transport companies Carris, Metro and CP in the city's urban circuits.

One of the most compelling day trips from Lisbon is to Sintra , a 45 minute train ride away and a world apart, full of (real) fantasy castles and villas.

While the trip to Sintra is very easy to do on its own, you might want to consider a Viator day trip from Lisbon tour (book direct).

Attractions in Lisbon - Things to Do

The seven hills of Lisbon are loaded with things to do.

The alfama district near the Targus has escaped many of the earthquakes that have ravaged Lisbon, and you can walk through the narrow lanes and enjoy the old village atmosphere of Lisbon. Nearby is the Fado Museum, a must for music lovers.

Santa Maria Maior de Lisboa or Sé de Lisboa is Lisbon's cathedral and the oldest church in the city. It's been rebuilt many times after various earthquakes, and has a jumble of architectural styles. Construction started on it in 1147.

Get great views of Lisbon from the Castle of São Jorge on the city's highest hill.

Take the #15 tram from Comercio square out to the Belem district, where you'll likely spend all day seeing the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos (see Mosteiro dos Jeronimos pictures), visiting the Belem Tower (Belem pictures), or Terre de Belem, and the Padrao dos Descobrimentos (discoveries monument), with time out for a Pasteis de Belem, the famous custard tarts of Lisbon. Have lunch at A Comenda Restaurant inside the Belem Cultural Center.

If you have time left over, take the #28 bus from in front of the Monastery to Postela and visit the Parque das Macoes , built for Expo98, and see the Oceanarium, one of the biggest aquarium displays in Europe.

For shopping and nightlife, the Bairro Alto is the place to be. Nearby is the Elevador de Santa Justa or Santa Justa lift, where you can not only see Lisbon from above and visit the Convento do Carmo, an earthquake-ruined Carmelite Convent that stands as a sort of symbol of Lisbon, but you can buy transportation tickets good for all forms of public transport at the base of the Elevador , including the 7 Colinas pass mentioned above.

Estação do Oriente , Orient Station, besides being a major transportation hub, is a beautiful iron and glass structure particularly evocative at night.

TripSavvy / Jamie Ditaranto

We've enjoyed the Restaurante A Charcutaria, which specializes in the food of the Alentejo region of Portugal. A hot, new restaurant offers up some fine, up and coming wines from Portugal, Enoteca de Belém.

If you want a well-received restaurant or bar connected with a state-funded circus school, try Restô do Chapitô , or read Clowning Around in Lisbon for some background info.

Lisbon, Portugal

K nown for being one of Europe’s most laid-back and sunniest capitals , Lisbon has become a trendy city break destination . Built on seven hills, it’s an incredibly scenic and romantic city, and has an unrivalled position by the sea , with several sandy beaches just minutes from downtown. Offering historical sights and fun in the sun (still at reasonable prices ), it’s a European capital like no other, and one that you’ll want to return to time and again.

10 Best Day Trips Where to Go Around Lisbon

How many days in lisbon.

You should spend at least three days in Lisbon, but the city is also a great destination for an extended summer holiday. The “Age of Discovery” attractions of Belém take an entire day to explore, while another day could be split between Alfama and the Parque das Nações district, and a third should be set aside for a day trip to Sintra . A fourth or more days would allow you to head to the beach or enjoy a walk by the sea in Cascais , and explore alternative corners of the capital and museums of interest. Lisbon is also a good base to discover other highlights of Portugal, such as Évora , Óbidos , or the fishing-villages-turned-surfing-meccas Ericeira and Nazaré .

When to Visit Lisbon?

Lisbon is a year-round destination, with warm summers and mild winters. Hot summer temperatures are cooled off by the Atlantic breeze, while in winter they never reach the freezing point. Although it’s known as a sunny city and for being the European capital with the mildest winters, it can also rain for days between November and April. Weather at that time of the year is quite unpredictable, but in the spring there may be downpours for one hour followed by clear skies and sun. Because many of Lisbon’s top attractions are outdoors (the viewpoints, beaches, and even the palace-hopping in Sintra), visiting in the wettest months may not be a good idea. The high tourist season is between June and early September, so the prices of accommodation go up at that time. Late May and mid-September may be the best times to visit, as temperatures are mild, it’s good enough for days at the beach, and the crowds are fewer. If you must visit in the summer, make sure you book accommodation well in advance.

10 Things You Should Know Before You Visit Lisbon

1 . Lisbon is very hilly , but walks are rewarded with magnificent views at the top, from various “miradouros” ( viewpoints ). Each offers a different perspective, and miradouro -hopping is one of the city’s most memorable (and Instagram-worthy) experiences.

2 . The coast around Lisbon has a variety of beautiful beaches . Some have the perfect waves for surfing , others have no waves at all, but they’re all clean and sandy. Some are crowded, others are wild and nearly deserted. If you’ll be in the city in the spring and summer months, try to prolong your stay for one or more days at the beach.

3 . Lisbon is one of Europe’s oldest cities (it’s the second-oldest capital after Athens), but most of the center dates from the late 1700s. That’s because one of the worst recorded earthquakes destroyed most of it in 1755, and it had to be completely rebuilt. Only four central neighborhoods predate the disaster — the ancient Alfama and Mouraria below the castle, Madragoa close to the riverfront, and Bairro Alto , laid out in the early 1500s up on a hill. Wandering around these “bairros históricos” (historic neighborhoods or old quarters) is one of the city’s most rewarding experiences, especially if you love to photograph.

4 . Lisbon started as a Phoenician trading port called Alis Ubbo (“Delightful Shore”), then became part of the Roman empire, before being taken over by the Visigoths and the Moors. When the new nation of Portugal was founded in 1139 in northern Iberia, the king decided to expand his territory and conquered the lands to the south, which included Lisbon, in 1147. It became the Portuguese capital in 1385, and ended up ruling a global empire in the “Age of Discovery” (15th and 16th centuries). The city’s most iconic landmarks date from this last period, including the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery , both World Heritage Sites and prime examples of Manueline architecture (a Portuguese late Gothic style).

5 . To reach the top of the tallest hills, nothing can beat the good-old trams and funiculars. Lisbon preserves vintage vehicles with wooden interiors, and they go through some of the city’s most picturesque streets. The only disadvantage is that they’re public transportation, so are always crowded and can be uncomfortable if you don’t get a seat. Fortunately, there are now routes just for tourists, where you can always comfortably enjoy the ride and the views along the way: Lisbon tram tours

6 . One of Lisbon’s most striking features is its use of decorative tiles (“azulejos”) to adorn entire façades . Those may be geometric patterns, solid colors or monumental murals. The tradition started in the 1700s, and is often still applied to modern buildings. Inside churches and palaces you’ll mostly see blue-and-white panels from the Baroque period, creating a distinct architecture that you won’t see anywhere else in the world.

7 . Lisbon has become a major center for street art , with two big local names leaving their mark on the city -- Vhils (who sculpts faces on buildings) and Bordalo II (who creates art from trash). You’ll surely find their pieces as you walk around the city, together with works by foreign artists.

8 . Lisbon is one of only a few cities in the world which developed its own musical style . Buenos Aires has its tango, New Orleans has jazz, Rio de Janeiro moves to samba, and Seville dances to flamenco, while Lisbon listens to fado. It’s mostly nostalgic and melancholic poems recited to the sound of guitars, but you don’t need to understand the words to feel the emotion of a performance. You may hear it at “casas de fado” (or “fado houses”), which are restaurants with live performances by professional or amateur singers, mostly in the neighborhoods of Alfama, Mouraria, and Bairro Alto.

9 . A balmy climate invites the people of Lisbon to enjoy their nights on the streets. No weekend in the city is complete without bar-hopping in the neighborhoods of Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré -- everyone buys a drink inside and stays chatting by the door or on the street, before moving to another bar to repeat the dose.

10 . The younger generation in Lisbon speaks English quite well , so you won’t have a problem communicating. Still, learn a few basic words in Portuguese: “ obrigado ” is “thank you” (never use “gracias” — you’re not in Spain!), “ bom dia ” is “good morning”, “ boa tarde ” is "good afternoon," " boa noite " is “good evening/night,” and “ fala inglês? ” is “do you speak English?”

What is the Lisbon Card?

The Lisbon Card is a sightseeing pass designed for tourists visiting Lisbon. It provides free or discounted access to various attractions, public transportation, and other benefits within the city for a fixed duration (usually 24, 48, or 72 hours).

Benefits of the Lisbon Card:

Free Access to Attractions: The card grants free entry to many popular attractions, including museums, monuments, and historical sites. This can result in significant cost savings, especially if you plan to visit multiple places.

Unlimited Public Transportation: The Lisbon Card includes unlimited rides on public transportation, such as buses, trams, and metro lines. This makes it convenient for exploring the city and reaching different points of interest.

Fuse tip: Please note that it doesn’t include transportation outside the city of Lisbon, so it covers the train to Sintra for example but not the bus to go up to Sintra.

Skip the Lines: At certain attractions, cardholders may enjoy fast-track entry, bypassing long queues and saving time.

Discounts and Deals: The card often provides discounts at various restaurants, shops, and cultural events, allowing you to save money on dining and shopping experiences.

Comprehensive Guidebook: Many Lisbon Cards come with a guidebook or map, providing valuable information on attractions, transportation, and other useful tips for tourists.

Pros of the Lisbon Card:

Cost-Effective: If you plan to visit several paid attractions and use public transportation frequently, the Lisbon Card can save you money compared to purchasing individual tickets.

We only used the Lisbon card when we traveled to Lisbon with the whole family. We first watched some YouTube videos then we did the math. It would save us money and it was worth it.

Sadly there was a strike on that day and we could not get inside the Monastery or Belem tower, plus we missed the cut off to go up the praca de Commercio for the epic views.

Convenience: The card offers a hassle-free experience, as you don’t need to buy separate tickets for each attraction or worry about carrying change for public transport.

Time-Saving : Skip-the-line benefits at certain attractions can be a significant advantage, especially during peak tourist seasons when lines can be long.

Flexible Options: The Lisbon Card comes in different durations (24, 48, or 72 hours), allowing you to choose the one that best fits your itinerary.

Cons of the Lisbon Card:

Limited Timeframe: The card’s validity is based on hours of use, so you need to plan your sightseeing carefully to make the most of it. If you’re not a fan of a packed schedule, it might not be worth it.

Attractions Preference: The value of the card depends on the attractions you plan to visit. If you are not interested in the included sites, the card may not be as advantageous for you.

Single-Use: The Lisbon Card is typically for individual use only and may not be suitable for groups or families, as each person will need their card.

Strikes. There is no refund if there are strikes.

Is the Lisbon Card Worth It?

The value of the Lisbon Card depends on your travel preferences and itinerary. If you are an avid sightseer, plan to visit multiple attractions, and use public transportation frequently, it can be a cost-effective and convenient option.

However, if you have a more relaxed itinerary or are only interested in a few specific sites, it might not provide as much value.

Before purchasing the Lisbon Card, it’s essential to research the attractions you want to visit and calculate the potential savings compared to buying individual tickets. 

Additionally, consider the convenience of unlimited transport and skip-the-line benefits when making your decision. Basically do the math and see if it would be worth it.

Prices for the Lisbon Card

  • 24-hour card: Around €20 to €22 for adults and €12 to €13 for children (ages 4 to 15).
  • 48-hour card: Approximately €34 to €36 for adults and €17 to €19 for children.
  • 72-hour card: Roughly €42 to €45 for adults and €21 to €23 for children.

coffee in Lisbon

Please note that these prices are subject to change, and it’s essential to check the official website of the Lisbon Card or inquire with the Lisboa Welcome Center for the most up-to-date pricing information.

 Additionally, there might be occasional promotions or discounts available, so it’s worth checking for any special offers before purchasing the card.

As you begin your journey in Lisbon, you may be curious about how American tourists are received in the city. You need not worry because Lisbon welcomes visitors from all over the world, including Americans.

How Not to Look Like a Tourist in Lisbon?

While Lisbon is an inclusive city that appreciates tourists, blending in with the local culture can enhance your experience.

The Lisboa Welcome Center offers valuable tips on how to avoid looking like a typical tourist, such as dressing smartly in line with local fashion, learning some basic Portuguese phrases, and being mindful of your belongings to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.

Read more on Is Portugal Safe?

The locals are known for their warm hospitality and fluency in English, which creates a comfortable atmosphere for American tourists to immerse themselves in the city’s culture and connect with its people.

Is it Rude to Tip in Lisbon?

Tipping etiquette can vary from country to country, and the Lisboa Welcome Center is there to clarify any doubts. While tipping is not obligatory, leaving a small tip as a token of appreciation for exceptional service is customary in Lisbon. 

The center offers guidance on appropriate tipping practices, ensuring you show your gratitude without unintentionally offending anyone.

I s it Ok to Wear Shorts in Portugal?

As you plan your attire for exploring Lisbon’s wonders, you may wonder about the acceptability of wearing shorts. Lisbon’s relaxed atmosphere makes shorts perfectly acceptable, especially during warm weather.

However, for specific formal settings or religious sites, opting for smart-casual attire to respect local customs is advised.

Do They Speak English in Lisbon?

The Lisboa Welcome Center recognizes that language can be a concern for tourists. Fortunately, Lisbon is a city where English is widely spoken, easing visitor communication barriers.

 Whether you need directions or want to engage in conversations with locals, you’ll find that English is prevalent and readily understood in most tourist areas.

Does Lisbon Use Cash or Card?

While both cash and card payments are accepted in the city, it’s beneficial to have a mix of both. 

Major establishments readily accept credit and debit cards, but smaller businesses and local markets may prefer cash, so it’s wise to have some on hand.

Where can you buy the Lisbon Card?

If you wish to purchase the Lisbon pass, you have two options available to you. You can purchase it directly in Lisbon at the Portela information office or at the Lisboa Welcome Center located in Praça do Comércio.

However, it is important to note that you may often run into very long lines. To avoid the wait, the second option is to make the purchase online. This gives you the flexibility to buy it at any time, and the card will remain active for a full year.

Where do you pick up the card?

Once your purchase is made, you will receive the voucher via email.

You will need to show it in one of the Ask Me Lisboa tourist offices in the city or in the arrivals terminal at Lisbon-Portela Airport, where you will be given the physical card. The confirmation e-mail includes a list of pick-up points, addresses and opening hours.

Does the Lisboa card really pay off?

The Lisboa Card can be convenient depending on your activities and interests. It is ideal if you plan to explore Lisbon in a few days, use public transportation and visit different attractions.

However, if the visits are not consecutive or if you prefer to walk instead of using transportation, the convenience may decrease. The card offers benefits such as priority access and discounts, but should be evaluated according to one's needs and planned itinerary. Students and young Europeans may not benefit much, while the closure of some attractions on Mondays may affect usage.

Overall, this Lisbon pass is a particularly good option for those who want to make the most of the attractions in a short period.

Frequently asked questions.

The Lisboa Card also includes a "fast track" option at places like the Monastero dos Jerónimos, Belém Tower, National Archaeological Museum, and Ajuda Palace. This allows you to skip the long lines. Just scan your card on one of the special automated machines.

The "Viva Viagem" is a transportation card designed for travelers and casual visitors. It represents a quick and easy way to make payments for subway, bus, streetcar, funicular, ferry and train travel in Lisbon. If you plan to visit numerous monuments and museums on a daily basis, we undoubtedly recommend purchasing a Lisboa Card. However, if you mainly want to explore the historic neighborhoods and enjoy the sights from the outside, the Viva Viagem card might be the ideal option for getting around Lisbon's public transportation with ease. For more information, read the article best Viva Viagem or Lisboa Card ?

No. Many of the attractions included in the Lisboa Card already offer youth and student discounts, and these discounts cannot be combined with those offered by the Lisboa Card. This means that to maximize savings, it is more convenient to opt for individual online tickets with reduced rates for specific attractions, while for transportation you can purchase the Viva Viagem.

The Lisboa Card becomes valid when you first use it, not when you collect it. For example, if you use it for the first time at 8:00 p.m., the first day of use will expire at 8:00 p.m. the next day.

King Manuel I built a large monastery near the location where the Infante D. Henrique ordered a church to be built in the mid-15th century by invocation of St. Mary of Belém.

To immortalise the memory of the Infante, for his intense devotion to Our Lady and faith in St. Jerome, in 1496 King Manuel I decided to found the Monastery of St. Mary of Belém, near the city of Lisbon, next to the Tagus River.

Donated to the monks of the Order of St. Jerome, today it is commonly known as the Jerónimos Monastery.

A pantheon of the Avis-Beja Dynasty, in the 19th century the church became the sepulchre for heroes and poets: Vasco da Gama and Luís de Camões.

A notable work of architecture, it became part of Portuguese identity and culture.
