Terminal Information – Arriving

The arrivals hall is in Terminal 1. The airport is well served by public transport including buses, underground trains and express shuttles. The metro station is downstairs, and it takes about 20 minutes to reach Saldanha in the city centre. There's a bus stop outside where you can catch any of five public buses. Note that, before you can use public transport in Lisbon ,you need to buy a rechargeable 'Viva Viagem' card from one of the ticket machines. These cost 50* cents (about 40p) and can be used throughout your trip. Tickets on the metro, bus, and tram all cost €1.40* (about £1.10). The Express shuttles charge €3.50* (just under £2.75). There's a taxi rank immediately outside the arrivals area. Prices are reasonable, and it shouldn't cost you more than €10* (about £7.80) to reach Cais do Sodre in the city centre. Car hire at Lisbon Airport is available, perfect for those who are planning to leave the city and head to the Silver Coast.

Practical Information

You don't need a passport to fly on domestic routes within Portugal. You might be asked to show some photographic ID, either when you check in or when you arrive at the boarding gate, so it's a good idea to bring your passport along anyway. We recommend arriving at the airport no later than one hour before your flight is scheduled to depart.
