What travellers say about the Lisboa Card
"The card was active straight away at the airport and worked on every kind of transport we needed in Lisbon. With all the sights we visited using it, it paid for itself and then some."
"Great value! The free ride on Tram 28 was worth a lot on its own. Skip-the-line at many places plus loads of discounts, and even free entry. The office at the airport was easy to find."
"The card is worth it for the transport alone. It made getting around the city incredibly easy. The free entry to the Castelo was a bonus on top. Highly recommended."
"Bought online in advance, no problem. Swapped the voucher for the card at Lisbon airport, no problem. Free local transport, free or reduced entry to countless attractions. A must for Lisbon."
"Very, very useful. We could use the metro, buses, trams and trains and had free entry to the state museums plus discounts in private museums and shops. Definitely worth every cent."
"Arrived at Lisbon airport, walked through the hall to the tourist desk, showed the email, and had the Lisboa Card in my hand in under three minutes. If you order in advance and collect at the airport, it is completely straightforward."

What to know before you buy
The five most common questions before buying, answered briefly.
Cancellation Can I cancel for free if my plans change?
Yes. Through our partner Tiqets, the Lisboa Card can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before your chosen collection date, with no reason needed and a full refund.
That means you can book now and secure your voucher, even if your travel plans are not 100% settled yet.
Collection Where and how do I collect the Lisboa Card in Lisbon?
After buying, you receive a voucher by email straight away. You exchange it in Lisbon for the physical card, most easily at one of these two points:
- Lisbon Airport: Ask Me Lisboa, daily 7am–10pm.
- City centre: Terreiro do Paço, daily 10am–7pm.
You can find more official Ask Me points in the overview, including one in Sintra. After your chosen collection date you have 28 days to collect.
- All locations with address and opening hours:
Activation When does validity start (24, 48 or 72 hours)?
The card is not valid from the moment you buy it, only from its first use.
That is the moment you use it for the first time. According to the official brochure, you validate it on a reader on public transport, for example on the metro or a bus. You can activate the card up to a year after purchase.
Before first use, you write the date, time and your name on the card. From that moment the validity you chose (24, 48 or 72 hours) runs continuously, regardless of the calendar day.
Children Are there reduced prices for children?
Yes. There are two age bands:
- Ages 4 to 15: separate child card at a reduced price. See the table for current prices.
- Under 4: no separate card needed, as children are free at most attractions and on public transport anyway.
| Validity | Adults | Children (4–15) |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | €31.00 | €21.00 |
| 48 hours | €51.00 | €28.00 |
| 72 hours | €62.00 | €35.00 |
The card is particularly worthwhile for families, because besides entry fees it also covers public transport for every cardholder. One exception: at some attractions, such as the Castelo de São Jorge, the Padrão dos Descobrimentos and the Museu do Fado, free entry does not apply to 13 to 15-year-olds.
Suitability Is the Lisboa Card worth it for my stay?
Rule of thumb: with 2–3 major attractions a day plus regular use of public transport, you usually break even on the first day.
In practice, if Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Castelo de São Jorge or Panteão Nacional are on your plan, you benefit straight away.
The card is less suitable if you only stroll around the city, visit just 1–2 attractions or spend most of your time in Sintra or Cascais (there are hardly any free attractions there, only the free train).
