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!

Without buying tickets I can travel everywhere in Lasboa, where I want. I spent money and time. It is a good idae and choice for travel. I can suggest this Card for new visitors in Lisbao.

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)

Great opportunity to explore Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Lots of discounted attractions as well as the core group of free entries. The card even allows you to use Lisbon's great public transport connections.

I used the Lisboa Card to access the Castle which made things a lot easier as I didn't have to queue to buy tickets. The Castle was quite amazing and had the best views of Lisbon.

Too many exceptions to where to use the card and some locations wasn't clear if they accepted it. Very few places to pickup the physical card. Most travelers don't have the time or patience to research all of this.

There was a public transportation strike. There was also a power outage that prevented us from making full use of the card.

Ease of use, transportation included, popular sites. I did not like that some of the sites listed as free were only 25% off. The Maritime museuem was not free.

Very good for metro bus streetcar transport! Easy to use but many attractions are still paying like botanical garden, monastery of saint Antoine... and you have to be able to use it, because some of the best attractions, such as the Belém tower, are inaccessible to the rest of the world, which is a pity, or the Jeronimos monastery, which needs a queue cutter.

We've used it with metro and bus and it was awesome. We've visited Saint Jorge's Castle and Monastery of Saint Jerome and we have no problem with that to. Thank you!
