The Lisboa Card is a tourist card that gives you free access to public transport, free access to some monuments, and discounts on a lot of tourist attractions.
The card costs €27 per day, but the more days you buy, the cheaper it gets.
The Lisboa Card makes your trip to Lisbon so much easier as you also get a fast track and much more.
What is The Lisboa Card?
The Lisboa Card is a physical card you buy to get free entry to various Lisbon sights and discounts at local businesses and other attractions.
The primary purpose of the Lisbon City Card is to provide free public transport while the card is active, and it also has a few other benefits, such as free access to monuments, discounts in many places, and more.
It costs between €27 and €22 per day depending on how many days you buy it for.

Where Can You Buy The Lisboa Card?
You can find the pass to most tourist activities in several Lisbon places once you purchase it online. These include:
- The Lisbon Airport arrivals terminal.
- The main tourist office (Lisboa Welcome Center) is at the large Comércio Plaza at the waterfront in Baixa.
- The tourist office (Foz Palace) is next to the Rossio train station, which takes you to Sintra.
- You can get your Lisboa Card at the central station, St Apolonia International Railway Station.
- You can also get your Lisbon Card at any designated kiosk in Baixa, Belem, or Rua Augusta.
Tip: The fastest option is to buy it in advance, which is much more convenient and saves time. You can then pick it up at the Lisbon Airport arrivals terminal or other places on the list.
The time limit on the Lisbon Card starts when you use it for the first time, not when you buy or pick it up. So, you can travel from the airport and start using it immediately or the next day.

Is The Lisbon Card Worth It?
It’s worth it if you plan to spend 3 days using public transportation and sightseeing, especially around Belém.
If you’re buying it purely to get free public transport, it’s not worth it, and it’s cheaper just to buy the Navegante card.
I recommend taking a day in Belém with the card and going around the center. Especially in Belém, you can use fast track and get the full use of the card.

Wrap-Up
The Lisboa Card definitely makes it easier to travel around Lisbon and do some sightseeing with easy access.
So plan some days in Lisbon and get full use of the card, especially a day in Belém where you see the Belém Tower, Jeronimos Monastery, and the rest of the monuments in Belém, which makes it worth it.
Take another day in Chiado and Baixa and see Carmo Convent, Santa Justa Lift, and the other beautiful monuments.
That’s how you get the full out of it. You can use public transport in between and really utilize it. That means trying the famous Tram 28.
If you just need easy access to public transport while saving some money, I recommend the Navegante card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Planning On Going To Lisbon?
I’ve created a trip planner where you enter the number of days you’re going and what activities you want to do.
Based on your input, you then get an entire vacation planned with ideas.
We are coming in November after our cruise but we are over 75. I saw u mention the card doesn’t make sense as there are senior discounts. How much discounts for seniors? We r there for 3 days. What is your suggestion? Having the pass sure seems easy to use.
It’s difficult to say as it depends on what attractions you’re going to. The Lisboa Card does make everything easy, so for that reason I do recommend it.
If you’re planning on using public transportation, then I would also say go for it.
But if not, and you’re only planning to visit a few attractions, then just use the senior discounts. I hope this answers the question; otherwise, let me know. 🙂
