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)

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.

Booking on the phone to go to the museum on the day was wasy enough and we were able to walk straight in when
we arrived. The tile museum is interesting showing their development and changing styles. For us it built on what we'd seen at the Monastry.
