Lisbon public transport information

Taxi in Lisbon

Taxis in Lisbon are a cream colour, and are always readily available, yet still relatively inexpensive. 

There are taxi ranks all over Lisbon, in the busy areas of town and you can also just wave your hand to hail one. 

The meter will show the fare, however, extra fees do occur, for example at night or with airport surcharges.

Lisbon is a sunny and pleasant city for walking, but its steep streets may leave you tired after a day’s sightseeing.  The best method is to use public transport going uphill and then take a leisurely stroll back down.  The 7 Colinas card allows you a full day trip in buses or metro.

Lisbon's metro (the underground subway network) is modern and efficient. It runs from 6.30am to 1am, and many of the stations are decorated with contemporary art, making the metro a tourist attraction in itself!

The tram network in Lisbon makes a really charming way to do some sightseeing. With routes all over the city, you can jump aboard and relax as the tram takes you up and around Lisbon's hilly avenues and narrow passages, with great views.

Major transport stations in Lisbon

Cais do Sodré is the major bus, metro, train, and ferry terminal. Trains depart to Cascais and Estoril, and trams to Belém. The ferries link to Cacilhas across the river. This journey is worth taking for views of the city's skyline.
