Getting to the city
Lisbon Airport sits close to the city, so the run into the centre stays short whichever option you pick. Metro and bus services reach the main districts, taxis and ride-hailing apps wait at arrivals, and it is worth checking whether your hotel runs a shuttle. At rush hour the roads slow down, which makes the metro the steadier choice. Ignore anyone approaching you inside the terminal offering a ride, and agree the fare or check the meter before you set off.
