Is the Lisboa Card worth it?

The Lisboa Card combines public transport with free or discounted entry for 24, 48 or 72 hours from first use. It pays off when you visit several included sights in a short time; it often does not for young children, who already enter many monuments free, or for visitors who mostly walk. Choose your group, days and sights: the calculator shows every line and the source of each price.

Lisboa Card prices valid until 2027-03-31. After that date the calculator stops giving figures.

Sights with a card benefit

To plan your days: Lisbon in 2 days

Start with your itinerary

List the attractions you genuinely want to visit and check which benefits currently apply. Confirm any timed reservations and temporary closures, then compare the official 24, 48 or 72-hour card option with individual admission and eligible transport costs.

Count transport accurately

Transport costs depend on the number of journeys and the operators used. A Carris/Metro day ticket is not the same as tickets including certain train or ferry networks. The calculator should show exactly which services are covered and how the total is calculated.

When the card may not pay off

A trip focused on free sights, just one paid museum or venues that are closed may not justify a sightseeing card. Also consider actual visiting time: paying for longer validity does not mean you can see more attractions.

Use a transparent comparison

Select your trip duration, group ages, planned attractions and journeys. Compare totals with clear assumptions. If a tariff, opening status or benefit has not been verified, the tool should not promise a saving.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 24-hour Lisboa Card valid for a calendar day?

No. It runs for 24, 48 or 72 consecutive hours from first use, according to the official shop. Activate it at 3 pm and it is valid until 3 pm the next day.

Which transport is included?

According to the official documentation: Metro, Carris (buses, trams and funiculars), CP trains to Cascais, Sintra and Azambuja, and Fertagus. We found no confirmation for Transtejo ferries.

Do children need a card?

There is a child card for ages 4 to 15. Many national monuments are already free up to age 12, so a child card rarely pays off for entries alone. At some places (Castelo de São Jorge, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Museu do Fado) the benefit does not apply from 13 to 15.

Do I have to book Jerónimos and Belém Tower?

Yes: according to the official shop, with the Lisboa Card you must book a date and time after collecting the physical card.

Does the Lisboa Card include every museum?

No. Admission and discounts apply to selected attractions under current conditions. Check the official list.

Is the 24-hour Lisboa Card worth it?

It depends on your paid attractions and eligible transport use. Compare your actual itinerary against separate-ticket costs.
