The Lisboa card was great value, we visited 3 places that were free with it and the Aquarium where we got a discount. It worked perfectly for the metro and trams that we used multiple times a day. It was great to be able to not queue or access the sorted lines due to having the card. I would definitely recommend it!

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.

The monastery is stunning... cool, beautiful and serene . Worth queueing to visit, although after buying a ticket online we got to the front of the queue and then had to go across the road to pick up the Lisboa card. The office was closed for lunch, so by the time we got into the monastery several hours had gone by.

Die Nutzung der Karte war einfach, sogar der Umtausch am Flughafen. Wir haben Sie oft genutzt, am meisten bei der Mobilität. Schade ist nur, dass man die Fähre und Christ de Rei nicht nutzen kann. Sollte man mal überlegen mit rein zu nehmen.

The only thing is that you have to queue twice for the basilica and you lose a lot of time, so it would be great to see both at the same time.
