I got this card at noon on Saturday, and used it until the next day at noon time and it was the best choice to make as I can enjoy many famous destinations in Lisboa and use the transportation (including the famous Tram 28) to those destinations with no charge.

This was the perfect way to see different areas of Lisbon and learn its history. Our family (including two teens) all loved it. David, the owner, is a great guide.

Good to get around Lisbon, most museums were closed for the holidays but the pas scan still be used for other things.

So convenient to see from his and then hop off if interested. Great for a rainy day as well!

We have taken out the 48-hour one and we have paid it off almost the first day.
