Traveling with children?
The calculator counts full-fare travelers. Check the operator’s child rules rather than assuming that a resident’s free-travel pass applies to a visitor.
Find the route that fits your arrival, your luggage, and where you’re staying.
Use the time you expect to reach ground transport, after passport control and baggage collection. Times are local to Lisbon. This comparison does not apply child or resident discounts.
For Rossio / northern Baixa, plan one change between metro lines. Check current disruptions and the final walk to your address.
At Aeroporto, take the Red line towards São Sebastião.
Change at Alameda for the Green line towards Cais do Sodré.
Leave at Rossio. Check the walk to your exact address.
Allow roughly 40–60 minutes to the station, including a change and waiting. This is a planning estimate.
Each traveler needs a separate eligible contactless bank card or device; one card cannot pay for a group. These are 2026 fares checked in September, not a live quote.
