What the card gets you into — for free

When the Lisboa Card isn't for you
Being honest saves you money. The card is a solid deal for most Lisbon visitors — but there are three profiles where a different ticket makes more sense.
✗
Transit only, no museums
If you just need airport transfers and metro rides, a CARRIS/Metro day-pass at €7.25 beats the 24 h card. Break-even against the Lisboa Card is roughly one museum entry.
✗
Sintra-only trip
Spending all your time in Sintra with no Lisbon sightseeing? Sintra's own combo tickets (Pena + Moorish Castle, Pena + Sintra Palace) plus the individual CP train ticket often work out cheaper than a 24 h Lisboa Card.
✗
Short layover in Belém only
If your entire visit is 3–4 hours at Belém between flights, single tickets for Jerónimos (€18) and Belém Tower (€15) are simpler than picking up a card you'll barely use.
Belém Tower and Jerónimos: they need a timed slot.
Two of Lisbon's most popular monuments require a free timed reservation — and reservations can only be made after you've picked up your physical card. In peak season, good slots go fast. Here's what to do about it.

The five most-asked questions
Where do I pick up the physical card?
At any Ask Me Lisboa office. The most convenient counters are at the airport (Terminal 1 arrivals), Rossio (Praça dos Restauradores 84), Terreiro do Paço and Belém. Bring your GetYourGuide voucher on your phone and a photo ID. Pickup takes about 90 seconds; no queue outside of peak arrival hours.
When does the card start counting?
The countdown starts with your first Metro or bus tap, or when you first enter a museum. Not from purchase, not from pickup. So collect early, then activate when you're actually ready to sightsee.
Do I really need to reserve Belém Tower and Jerónimos?
Yes — both require a free timed reservation, made only after you've picked up your card. If your schedule is tight or you're travelling in peak season, single-entry tickets (see the reservation page) are the safer bet for those two.
Is the card worth it for me?
The 24 h card pays off if you use transport plus 2–3 free museums. The 48 h and 72 h cards make sense if you also plan a Sintra day-trip (train free) plus more monuments. Travellers who only want transport are better off with a Metro/CARRIS day-pass.
What about children?
Kids 4–15 have their own reduced-price card. Kids 0–3 travel free and don't need one. Bring ID for the reduced card at pickup.
Reserve now — instant PDF voucher by email. Valid for one full year, so you can book long before your trip. The 24/48/72-hour clock only starts at your first tap in Lisbon.
