    Perfect experience!!! We spent 3 days in Lisbon and bought LisboaCard which allowed us to discover the city and region without stress. Everything is included in LisboaCard, metro, bus, streetcar and even the train to Sintra! You can visit museums for free and get 10% off your bill in restaurants! A great experience!

    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)
