Getting around Lisbon on your first trip
How to take the airport metro, find the Tram 28E route and decide whether the Lisboa Card fits your itinerary.
Quick answer
Take the metro from Aeroporto and change at Alameda for Rossio. Check CARRIS for the 28E route and compare the Lisboa Card against the rides and attractions on your actual itinerary.
Can I take the metro from Lisbon Airport?
Yes. Take the metro from Aeroporto. Saldanha is on the same line. For Rossio, change at Alameda. Look up the station nearest your accommodation and check whether the walk from the station suits your luggage.
Where does Tram 28E go?
CARRIS lists the 28E between Martim Moniz and Campo Ourique (Prazeres), with stops near Lisbon Cathedral, Chiado and Estrela. Check the current route notices before riding. If you only need to get to one neighbourhood, compare the tram with the metro or walking from a nearby stop.
What does the Lisboa Card include?
The Lisboa Card covers public transport and entry to selected attractions. List the places you plan to visit, check their current inclusion and opening days, then compare the pass price with the separate tickets you would actually buy.
Before you go
- Check the final walk from your metro stop, especially with luggage.
- Check the current service notices before building a day around Tram 28E.
- Compare the pass using your planned visits and travel dates.
