I wish it was explained before that we would need to pickup our card at a certain location, they made it seem like we would just have them on the app. Also I would have liked a map that showed where the museums and sites were located and what buses were available to get to them. Navigating became difficult and we were not able to get the most out of the card. Almost doesn't seem worth it, especially since as a family we could have gotten discounts at most sites without the Lisboa card

The advantages of the Lisboa Card: free access to public transport. Free or reduced-price entry to many monuments, saving time in queues.

Not only the public transportation was great! You get on and off wherever you want. Admission to the museums and sights listed is also great. What we didn't find was free access to the Elevador de Santa Justa. But maybe on our next visit - with the Lisboa Gard, of course!

Impossible to buy day tickets. We should have our tickets online and accessible on our cell phone without having to walk miles to go to a metro station to buy them.

We got our cards in a matter of minutes from the tourist office, they were easy to use and the brochure we downloaded from the website gave exhaustive information about the attractions we could use them for.

Stroll through royal quarters

Known as the residence of the Portuguese royal family from the reign of King D. Luís I to the end of the monarchy in 1910, this palace was revitalized by Queen D. Maria Pia de Sabóia in 1862. Marvel at the original arrangement and decor of the rooms, preserved to this day. Take the opportunity to stroll through this magnificent site, especially the monarch's quarters and the throne room from the 18th to the 19th century. Strategically placed atop the Ajuda hill, enjoy panoramic views of the River Tagus. Take note of the important collections from the 18th and 19th centuries, including decorative arts in gold and silverware, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, glassware, engravings, and more!
