Thank you so much for all these great videos! We'll be in Portugal at the end of the month, arriving from Canada to Port and departing from Lisbon. We also plan a 1 night stop in Coimbra. Do you have any advise/video for Coimbra? Or should we skip it? Thank you, have a great day!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@shapeoftimes we don't have any information on Coimbra yet. If you have at least six days for Lisbon and four days for Porto, then Coimbra might be a great visit. All the best!

Thank you ,Tony, for all your videos that had helped us so much with our recent trip to Spain and Portugal. And it was a such a pleasant surprise that you came meet us at the restaurant in Lisbon, It would be a life time memory.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

That's very kind of you, Peiyu. Meeting you at the restaurant was such a wonderful moment! All the very best to you!

Great Video!! Essential to make the most of your trip to Lisbon! You are the financial wizards of tourism in Spain and Portugal. And you know the tours and the best routes like no one else to maximize the time. This is without a doubt the best KZbin tourism channel for Spain and Portugal. Total admiration ❤💚

Great video Tony and I will definitely make use of the card when ever I am in Lisbon. I think it is worth the price by just having the free transport in the city.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thanks Jacques, yes, we really think it is an excellent investment.

[@peiyuhuang4015]

Hi, Tony! It's wonderful that you plan out the Itinerary by areas of the city instead of listing top 10 or 20 things to do in the city. So much easier to follow the Itinerary! Live it! Even though I just went to Lisbon, I still enjoy watching your Lisbon video.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thank you, Peiyu, we thought this different approach to Lisbon attractions could be quite useful too. All the best!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Great to hear that!

[@toddboothbee1361]

This makes clear a lot about the Lisboa Card. I'll buy it when I get to Lisbon later this October. I'll buy the Viagem and use that to get from the airport into the city, and begin using the Lisboa Card the next day, after we get some sleep. How many hours each day did you spend in these attractions? It seems each day would be filled, especially if you wisely prefer to visit in a leisurely manner.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

The Viva Viagem card has been replaced by the Navegante card, works in exactly the same way. We spent the whole day visiting places, from the earliest opening time till 7 to 8 pm depending on the day.

[@toddboothbee1361]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thanks. And thanks for the card update.

[@dingsze5624]

Thank you for your detailed introduction, can I ask you with the Lisboa card do we need to book the time to visit the attractions we intend to visit?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi, with the Lisboa Card you cannot book visiting times. You just appear at the attractions and enter them.

[@anhnguyenghet9093]

This helps so much with planning. Your channel is the best organized, detailed, complete and well thought. Thank you so much. My question is… are the sights selected for each day located near each others so that you don’t waste time on train/bus. Also, the total time spent each day sight seeings are evenly distributed, not too long one day, etc?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thank you! Yes, when we design an itinerary, rather than throwing a number of places any old how, we study how they can be bunched together to maximize your time. That is the case with our proposals here. Bear in mind we are proposing three intense days, as you are trying to make the most out of your card.

[@evelynlim7853]

HolaTony, (and Cecilia!) que tal! Thank you for a thoroughly informative and detailed video about the Lisboa Card. We are seniors and cannot walk much. 1. Is it smart to drive to the attractions mentioned? 2. Use the card to take the funicular through the narrow streets; to St Justa lift, experience tram 28/12. Muchas gracias!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hola, Evelyn! On this video we talk about driving in Lisbon kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmrOmYqbZ5p9mdk In short, a terrible idea. Using the card to ride the tram and the Santa Just lift is a good idea, as shown in the video. All the best!

[@evelynlim7853]

Hola Tony, for our 3-day stay in Lisbon, we plan to do the major attractions in one full 24 hour day. Then drive to Porto next day. drive to Sintra and Cascais on the last day. What is your advice? Much appreciated. Muchas gracias!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi, sounds like a mad rush, you must be really fit to plan on doing all that, you'll be exhausted by the end of the day. We recommend a minimum of three or four days for Porto. Sintra and Cascais on the same day are not doable. All the best.

[@irenekatkanova1592]

Hi Tony, thank you for all of the wonderful tips! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for luggage storage in Barcelona and Madrid?

[@PhilS-op2mt]

Hi Tony. Many thanks for all your amazing videos. I have just watched the video using the Lisboa card in 3 days. However we will be in Lisbon in October for 3 weeks. We are over 70 and intend to purchase the travel card with zapping but obviously the Lisboa card is not really an option unless we crammed every site into z3 days. We like to take our time. Are there any other options for us to visit the attractions in your videos besides just paying the full entry fee. Obrigada Barbara(Australia)

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Barbara, many thanks for your words. If you are going to stay in Lisbon for three weeks (excellent!) the Lisboa Card doesn't make any sense. Check out the rates for the attractions you intend to visit as many include discounts for seniors. We will publish a few new videos on Lisbon in the coming months. All the best!

[@PhilS-op2mt]

Ola Tony Many thanks for your invaluable advise concerning the Lisboa card. During our 3 weeks in Lisbon we will take full advantage of the Viva Viagem card with the zapping option as per your video. We will travel to Porto after Lisbon and stay for 2 weeks. I am unable to find a similar option for transport around Porto (as in Lisbon) that is suitable for our length of time. The Andate card seems to be limited for short stays. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Obrigada Barbara South Australia

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@PhilS-op2mt Hi Barbara, you can check here how the Andante card works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH_SgKGueparhMU Viva Viagem has now been replaced by a similar card called Navegante, it works in exactly the same way.

Great video!i’m planning a holiday trip to portugal,i found it very helpful. I surely purchase 3 days lisboa card.....my question is , is lisboa card include transport to estoril and cascais

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thanks, Trinidad. Yes, transport to Estoril and Cascais is included, but it wouldn't be a good use of the Lisboa Card, better pay for the trip separately or follow our advice on the video on Cascais here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gafGmIdueJuooaM

[@hi5kona]

Unfortunately the Lisboa card doesn’t have a senior card with an appropriate discounted price. We found many of the national sites, including St George’s Castle, the monastery in Belem, etc., have a 50% discount for people over age 65. Senior tickets can be purchased online to expedite the visit.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

To be able to establish a comparison it is fundamental to get the facts right. Not all attractions give a 50% discount for seniors. Full price ticket for the castle: 15€. Senior price: 12,50. Lisboa Card: free. The Lisboa Card still provides an unbeatable deal.

[@hi5kona]

Apologies for my error on St. George’s Castle. You are correct that not all offer a 50% discount, but a surprising number do. There is also a good discussion on the Rick Steve’s blog regarding this specific ticket and the assessment for seniors. I appreciate the level of detail of your videos and they are tremendously helpful.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@hi5kona thank you. On the video we presented our experience with the Lisboa Card but also stressed that each individual should do the numbers to make sure it works for them the way it worked for us. We don't want anyone to buy a product or a service they are not going to profit from.

[@cutiejumps4088]

Do I need to collect entrance tickets from the ticket office if I use Lisboa card to the attractions you mentioned? Thank you very much your help! Your videos are so helpful!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

We answer your question in the video! All the best.

[@wozwolf1]

Going to Lisbon in 3 weeks, your videos are my pocket guide. Hoping to pack in as much as possible in 4 days. Is there an official website for buying the Lisboa card or should I follow your link in the description?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

There is a website with the name Lisboa Card that pretends to be the official site but it's a private seller (scam!). You can buy the pass either from our link or from the official Lisbon Tourism site.

[@wozwolf1]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal thank you, I will use your link. I did see there was a few websites advertising the card

[@cutiejumps4088]

Thank you very much for the video, it is very helpful! I wonder in summer time, would it be a long lineup to exchange the entrance tickets to Castelo de Sao Jorge if I use Lisboa card. We are debating whether use Lisboa card or pre-purchase the entrance ticket online.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

It's difficult to tell, as the amount of tourists in Lisbon during the summer is mind blowing.

[@cutiejumps4088]

Thank you for your response! I would like to double confirm do you need to go to the booking office to get entrance ticket when you visited Museu Nacional Does coches, Pantrao national, Museu national do Azuléjo? Or you just show your Lisboa card to get in at the entrance? Or there is a kiosk machine to get entrance tickets for Lisboa card holder? Your response is highly appreciated!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

@@cutiejumps4088 at the 3 places you mention you just head to the entrance to the museum/monument. Some might have a kiosk machine, in others a museum attendant will scan your Lisboa Card as you go in.

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Hi Tony, Do you know if I buy train ticket (from Porto Sao Bento to Lisbon Santa Apolonia) in advance from CP online. Can I just show the QR code to the staff in Porto Sao Bento station or I need to exchange another ticket? I guess from Porto Campanha to Lisbon Santa Apolonia, train coductors will check the tickets in the train. Thank you so much your help, make the planning of trip much easier.

[@anirbanmk]

This is an excellent video with lot of information Tony. Thank you so much. I had one question. From the top of Gloria funicular, how long is the walk to the top level of Santa Justa elevator? Can we walk with a baby stroller or is it very steep? Also is the Santa Justa elevator crowded even in November on the upper level?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, the walk should take you between 10 and 15 minutes. It's not steep. We've visited Lisbon in every single month of the year and we've never seen it without queues at the base of the elevator. But the upper level to go down tends to be ok most of the time.

[@anirbanmk]

@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you so much. This is so helpful. I subscribed to your channel. Also in November end do you think we can do, Jeronomous monastery, Belem Tower, Monument of Discoveries and Coach museum in one day starting at 10 AM? they are all in the same area..

[@satyaraju8959]

Hi Tony, Your videos are excellent. I have watch them all as we are travelling to Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto, Madrid and Barcelona. We arrive at 7:40pm on the 31st of May (Friday). I might just get the metro card to get to the hotel. We leave Lisbon on the 5th. We are thinking of going to Sintra on the 3rd as you mentioned some of the Museums are closed on Monday. There is a 72hr Lisbon card & Pena place card. Is this the best option? We can then either buy a 24 hour card for the 4th or just use the metro card that we bought from the airport. What do you think?

[@peiyuhuang4015]

We just visited Sintra from Lisbon. We decided to join one day tour from Get Your Guide to Sintra which included the entrance ticket to Pena Palace. We felt we made a good decision. It made our visit so much easier and more relax.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Satya, we don't think that particular card is a good investment. Buy your return train tickets to Sintra and then buy your tickets in advance (links below), in particular for the Palacio da Pena. You will need a full day to see the basics of Sintra.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Thank you, dear!

[@JasonBrownafewmomentsl8er]

Please do a porto card 3 day itinerary

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

We don't think the Porto card provides such a good deal.

[@ryanlaffan7064]

As someone with moderate mobility issues I found Lisbon difficult to get around. Lots of hills and cobblestone paths that I was really afraid I would fall on. There’s always strikes on the metro too

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Strikes occur, but in 34 years traveling regularly to Lisbon I've never encountered one in the metro, so I wouldn't go as far as claiming there's always strikes on the metro. I've victim of a train strike, though.
