If you’re arriving at Lisbon Airport, the easiest way to move around the city is to use public transport with a Viva Viagem card.

We recommend using the Viva Viagem card with Zapping! Load it with a minimum of  €3 (other possible amounts: 5€, 10€, 15€, 20€, 25€, 30€, 35€ e 40€). It’s simple, flexible, and usually cheaper than buying single tickets. Any unused balance can be refunded or saved for your next trip.

This rechargeable card works on the metro, buses, trams, and suburban trains, making it simple to combine different modes of transport.

Where to Get It

• At the airport metro station ticket machines (available in English and other languages)
• At Carris/Viva Viagem kiosks in major metro stations
• At some newsstands and convenience stores near transport hubs

How It Works

• Load the card with either money (pay-as-you-go).
• Touch the card on the validator each time you enter metro, train, tram, or bus.
