Travel tips
From the airport
Humberto Delgado (LIS) is 12 minutes away by taxi (≈ €14). The red metro line + bus 728 takes 30 minutes for €1.85.
Getting around
Load a Navegante card (€0.50) with zapping credit for metro, trams and the river ferries. Trams 15E and 28 are the scenic ones.
Weather in June
Expect 24–28 °C, long evenings and an Atlantic breeze. Bring a layer for the riverside after sunset.
Money & tipping
Cards work almost everywhere. Tipping 5–10% in restaurants is appreciated but never expected.
