Metro (Traveling within Lisbon)

The metro is the quickest and most practical way to travel around the city. The metro network has a total of 4 lines, each identified by a different colour: green (Telheiras – Cais do Sodré), blue (Reboleira – Santa Apolónia), yellow (Odivelas – Rato) and red (Aeroporto – São Sebastião).

Travel Note

Taxis

As elsewhere, taking a taxi in Lisbon is the most convenient way to travel around the city. Fares in Portugal are a little lower than in other European countries, so it can be a good value if you’re traveling in a group (splitting the cost often comes out cheaper than buying individual tickets to the bus or metro -- if you don’t acquire the Lisboa Card, that is).

Travel Note

Ubers

You can take an Uber in Lisbon. You need to download the smartphone app which allows you to book a car and pay for it without cash exchanged with the driver. In Lisbon, Uber cars are identified by a TVDE sticker placed on the front and rear windows of the driver’s side.
