TRANSPORTATION (TAXI, BUS, BOATS,ETC.)

It is easy to travel within the city of Lisbon, it is a capital with a true transportation system. But you will also see how special Lisbon is, with its 7 hills, the Tagus River, the beaches…

  • By foot
    It is the most practical way of visiting the city but make sure you wear comfortable shoes and in particular no heels (you’ll quickly realize why !!!).
  • By car
    The car is by far the worst mean of circulating, first because finding a parking lot is so difficult and second it won’t be easy to find your way among the hills and small street of the city.
  • Buses, trams
    Carris, the public transportation company in Lisbon, includes all the yellow buses and trams.
    Don’t miss the tramway n°28 going through most famous and tourist places. Experiment elevators or funiculars to reach tops of hills.
    The new tramway n°15 goes from Praça do Comercio to Belem area.
