The Lisboa card was great for most attractions and transportation insided Lisboa as well as using the bus and metro. Only issue I faced was that it was not valid for the Sintra Pena palace, Moorish castle and Sintra Royal palace other attactions in Sintra, but was given a small discount.

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.
