BY AIR​

• TAXI:

  You can always find a taxi at the airport outside the Arrivals or Departures terminals. It may be easier to get a taxi outside the Departures Hall. A regular taxi ride to the city centre is around €10-15, including luggage fees. Depending on the time of day, the ride to your hotel will take between 15 minutes (daytime, not too much traffic) and 35 minutes (rush hour).

• UNDERGROUND (Metro): 

  Lisbon airport has an underground station with a direct line to the city centre. The Aeroporto-Saldanha Red Line takes you to downtown Lisbon in about 20 minutes. Please note that you must purchase the Viva Viagem electronic travel card (€0.50), which you should then top up with balance for your journeys. It can be used both for the underground and bus networks. An underground one-way ticket costs €1.50 https://www.metrolisboa.pt/en/buy
