The Lisboacard is highly recommended. We bought it for 3 days and it was really worth it. You don't have to queue when you visit the Castello San Jorge. The left row is for Lisboacard holders and it's quicker. Use of the streetcar, streetcar and public buses are included. Entrance to numerous museums is also included. Please visit the Museum de Azulejos with its beautiful church. You can order the card online and pick it up at the Tourist Office (at the airport or in the city)

A visit to the monastery is definitely a highlight. Every visitor to Lisbon should have it on their itinerary. The waiting time was manageable, in any case the afternoon is the best time to visit. Public transport connections are great. What was not so good was the consistency of the audio guide with the tour. The description was very detailed but not everything was accessible.
