Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS)

Alameda das Comunidades Portuguesas, 1700-111 Lisboa, Portugal
Website
Subway
The Lisbon Metro is the fastest way to get around the city and a good option if you are traveling long distances. It is considered to be one of the best-kept and cleanest metros in Europe. In Portuguese, the Metro in Lisbon is called “Metropolitano de Lisboa”. Currently, Lisbon Metro has 56 stations and 4 lines. The Lisbon Metro has two drawbacks. The first is that it is difficult to change lines since there are very few intersections between them. The second is that it does not run past some of the most popular tourist attractions in the city or important neighborhoods such as Alfama or Belém. These two inconveniences make the subway less useful for tourists. The recent expansion of the lines makes it possible to get from the airport to the center of Lisbon by metro for a price of € 1.50.
Website
Taxi
Lisbon taxis are relatively cheap and comfortable. Fares increase at night. The fare to get from the airport to the city center is usually around € 15. Many taxis do not take credit cards, please ask before you board. At the airport, you can buy a prepaid card at the cab stand.

Train
Lisbon urban trains (comboio) are a good option to go from downtown Lisbon to Belem, Estoril, Cascais and Sintra. The most central station is Cais do Sodré.

Trams
The trams in Lisbon are, not only one of the most useful means of transport to get around the city, but also one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. Tickets are only around USD 3.00. Of the five routes, two are highly recommended. Tram 15 is the most frequently used tram in Lisbon and connects the city center and Belém. The nostalgic wooden tram 28 is an institution in itself. The tram links São Jorge Castle and Bairro Alto crossing various picturesque neighborhoods. Thousands of tourists take this tram every day.
Website
Tuk Tuk

Subway
The Lisbon Metro is the fastest way to get around the city and a good option if you are traveling long distances. It is considered to be one of the best-kept and cleanest metros in Europe. In Portuguese, the Metro in Lisbon is called “Metropolitano de Lisboa”. Currently, Lisbon Metro has 56 stations and 4 lines. The Lisbon Metro has two drawbacks. The first is that it is difficult to change lines since there are very few intersections between them. The second is that it does not run past some of the most popular tourist attractions in the city or important neighborhoods such as Alfama or Belém. These two inconveniences make the subway less useful for tourists. The recent expansion of the lines makes it possible to get from the airport to the center of Lisbon by metro for a price of € 1.50.
