· Lisboa FAQ ·
Traveling to Lisboa is super easy and we’re eager to welcome you, either if you’re returning or if it’s your first time in our city. We welcome over 8.5 million tourists a year!
By Plane
Fly into Lisboa Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) – the main international gateway to the city. Major airlines offer direct routes from Europe, North America, South America and parts of Africa.
The airport is only 15-20 minutes from the city centre by metro, taxi or rideshare.
By Train
International trains connect Lisboa with several cities in Spain (e.g. Madrid, Vigo). Arrivals typically go through Estação Santa Apolónia or Estação Oriente, both with metro access.
A convenient option if you are already travelling around the Iberian Peninsula.
By Bus
Long-distance services link Lisboa to Spain and other European cities. Most buses arrive at Sete Rios or Oriente, both linked to the metro network.
Usually an affordable way to reach the city.
By Car
Drive into Portugal via major highways such as A1, A2 or A6, depending on where you start. Common border crossings from Spain include Badajoz-Elvas and Tui-Valença.
Parking in central Lisboa can be tricky. Consider park-and-ride or staying slightly outside.
By Cruise (because why not?)
The Cruise Terminal at Santa Apolónia receives ships from Atlantic and Mediterranean routes.
From there, you’re just minutes away from iconic neighbourhoods like Alfama and Baixa.
By Metro
Lisboa’s metro network has four main lines (blue, yellow, green and red) covering most of the city.
Fast, reliable and perfect for avoiding traffic, especially during rush hours. Tickets can be bought at stations or via the reusable Viva Viagem card.
By Tram
Famous historic trams, like the 28, pass through scenic neighbourhoods such as Alfama, Graça and Baixa.
Ideal for sightseeing, but can be crowded during peak tourist times.
By Bus
Extensive bus routes connect areas not served by the metro or tram. A good option for reaching suburban areas or more local spots.
By Train
Trains from Rossio, Oriente and Cais do Sodré stations connect Lisboa to nearby towns like Sintra, Cascais and Setúbal.
Perfect for day trips outside the city.
By Taxi or Rideshare
Taxis are widely available, but always check that the meter is running.
Rideshare apps like Uber and Bolt are common and often more convenient for tourists.
By Bicycle or Electric Scooter
Lisboa has growing cycling infrastructure and e-scooter rentals throughout the city.
Best for short trips or exploring flat areas like Belém and the riverside.
Walking
Many of Lisboa’s historic districts are best explored on foot. Be prepared for hills and cobbled streets, but the views and hidden gems are worth it.
Lisboa is generally considered very safe for tourists. Violent crime is rare and most visits are trouble-free.
Common issues are petty thefts like pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like downtown, on public transport or around major tourist attractions.
Standard precautions: keeping an eye on belongings, avoiding poorly lit streets at night and using reputable transport.
Whether you enjoy exploring historic sites, admiring art or simply relaxing by the river, Lisboa offers something for every type of traveller.
Here are some must-see places and activities in the city:
- Alfama, Bairro Alto and Baixa for historic streets and colourful buildings
- Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery for iconic monuments
- MAAT and Calouste Gulbenkian Museum for art and culture
- Miradouro de Santa Catarina and Miradouro da Senhora do Monte for city views
- LX Factory for shops, cafés and street art
- Tram 28 ride for a scenic tour of the city’s hills
- Tagus River waterfront for a relaxing stroll
- Traditional cafés to enjoy a pastel de nata
Is that even a question? Yes, Lisboa is an excellent place to play Ingress!
The city has a high density of portals, especially in historic and tourist areas like Alfama, Baixa, Belém and Bairro Alto, making it easy to farm, link and create fields.
Parks, plazas, monuments, and public art provide plenty of portal options and the compact city centre allows for efficient walking or biking routes.
Outside the centre, there are still portals along the riverfront, in LX Factory, and in neighbourhoods like Parque das Nações.
Overall, Lisboa offers a rich and varied Ingress experience for both casual and dedicated players.
