The Sunny Lisbon

Lisbon is the warm and sunny capital city of Portugal, and the largest city in the country. Rich in culture and architecture, it is one of the oldest European cities, which over time was known by many names such as Luxbona, Lixbuna or Ulixbone (names which gave way to the commonly used LX shorthand).

Along it's seven hills, while walking along the cobbled streets known as Calçada Portuguesa, you will find amazing food, amazing architectural relics and various museums. And don't forget to stroll along the Tagus river, the narrow streets of Alfama, vist the nightlife of Bairro Alto, the classic and elegant stores of Chiado or the gardens of Belém. And while you're at it, do not forget to try some Pastéis de Belém!

Tips & Tricks

• Arriving

  Just take the "Metro" red line from the airport until you reach one of the other lines, from which you can go into the city centre, hotels and the venue. Download the subway map (PDF) for more info.

  You can also take one of the Aero shuttles into the city. It runs every 30 minutes and costs about €3,50, and you can use the ticket for the rest of the day.

  Or you can get a taxi from Arrivals. However, some of our taxi drivers can be known for ripping off some customers, so you can always get one from Departures (one floor above) where you might not find such problems.

• Getting Around

  The best way to get around is by getting a Lisboa Card which you can use in every kind of transport around the city and that will get you free admission to more than 80 museums and attractions.

  Or you can get the 7 Colinas / Viva Viagem Card and charge a day fare onto it that will get you around in the Carris and Metro networks, or you can get an unlimited daily ticket.

  Taxis are fairly cheap and will get you around the city for around €5 to €10 a ride. Be aware that they can charge you extra for carrying big luggage of if you called them on the phone (+351 218119000).
