If you arrive at the airport…
TERMINAL 1: At the Arrivals Hall of Lisbon airport, you have the Tourist Office (running from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.) where you can get a map of the city and some basic information.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Located just 20 minutes away from the city centre, getting to or leaving Lisbon airport is easy. Choose the transportation that best suits your needs.
TAXI: You can always find a taxi at the airport outside the Arrivals or Departures terminals. It may be easier to get a taxi outside the Departures Hall. A regular taxi ride to the city centre is around €10-15 including luggage fees. Make sure the meter is turned on at the beginning of the journey and always ask for a receipt. Depending on the time of day, the ride to your hotel will take between 15 minutes (daytime, not too much traffic) and 35 minutes (rush hour).
UNDERGROUND (Metro): Lisbon airport has an underground station with a direct line to the city centre. The Aeroporto-Saldanha Red Line takes you to downtown Lisbon in about 20 minutes. It is a quick and inexpensive way to get around, plus you will get to see Lisbon’s underground stations – each with its own theme and décor. Please note that you must purchase the 7 Colinas/Viva Viagem electronic travel card (€0.50), which you should then top up with balance for your journeys. It can be used both for the underground and bus networks. An underground one-way ticket costs €1.45.
