Lisboa Card 2025: What’s Included & How It Works
Is the Lisbon Card worth it?
The Lisboa Card is is Lisbon’s official travel card, giving you free access to top attractions and unlimited public transport. If you’re wondering whether the Lisboa Card is worth it, in our opinion, absolutely yes, as it is a great way to explore Lisbon’s major sights without worrying about individual tickets or extra costs.
Lisbon is packed with historic sights, museums, and beautiful viewpoints, but buying individual tickets for each place can quickly add up. The Lisbon Travel Card not only helps you save money, but it also saves you the hassle of buying separate tickets.
On top of that, it includes unlimited public transport and even a return train ride for your day trip to Sintra, which makes getting around super easy. If you’re planning to visit just a few of the major attractions in Lisbon, the card more than pays for itself.
You’ll also get discounts on museums, tours, and even shopping.
