can be picked up at the tourist office, this is explained rather unclearly in the description. Bus, tram etc. are free. But be careful, in order to avoid long waiting times and queues for various activities, tickets can be purchased via Get your Guide, in which case the Lisboa Card cannot be used.

I think it's an excellent way to learn a little about the city's history. New buses, translated into several languages, making it much easier to get to know the city's main tourist attractions. I recommend doing the tour over two days to better explore the routes!

It's interesting, take the green and red lines to Lisbon because they are complementary. On the other hand, if you get off at Castelo you have to take the same stop, because you are not allowed to get on elsewhere

With the Lisboa Card you can easily explore the city using public transport. Visits to many museums are included. It's worth buying the card.

This was a really fun outing for our big family. Our guid (Maya) was awesome!
