It captures the essence of Lisbon - hilly perspectives, funiculars, urban art. We hopped on at Barrio Alto and given its frequency didn't have long to wait for the grand descent. Passing by the colourful street art creations and meeting ascending multi-decorated versions was lovely. Arriving at Baixa we alighted, waited a few minutes then hopped back on and returned back up the hill.

The Metro is by far the fastest way and cheapest way to get around Lisbon. It can get crowded during rush hour (watch for pickpockets!!), but no more so than the metro in any other large European city. The kiosks are located in the stations and are relatively easy to use after you figure out a couple details. First, there is a small icon in the lower left corner that changes the language to English. Second, he kiosk did not accept US credit or debit cards when we visited - you may need cash. (There is an ATM located in some of the stations.) Navigating the metro is simple, and there are maps available at travel offices and maps printed on walls in the train station. For a short visit, you might consider a one day pass (about 6 Euros) that provides unlimited rides on the metro, bus, and funicular (a single car trains that goes up steep inclines at several points in the city). You can find some breathtaking views at the top of the funicular. One general hint that applies to travel practically anywhere in the world: use Google maps on your smart phone to get around. If you don't want to pay for roaming data access, download the map to your phone before you leave home or while connected to the hotel internet.

Public transport in Lisbon is cheap, clean, convenient, regular and ontime.We stayed in Lisbon several days and used , the train, the metro, trams and buses. It was quite easy and had no trouble at all. When in doubt we asked for directions and everyone we came into contact with were very helpful. Perhaps we were lucky but we had a great time.

My wife and I have recently visited Lisbon for the first time and were both impressed with the great network or trams, subways, and buses that traverse this beautiful city. The Historic Trams are the big favorites there as you see people all over photographing them as they go by. They are always carrying passengers and seem to be an integral part of the lifeline of Lisbon. There are even modern trams on some of the routes. However the older and historic trams are the attraction here. We purchased the "Lisboa Cards" that allowed us to use any of the Trams, buses, subway and even trains in Lisbon without having to exchange money every time we boarded them. Just scan your card. It made it very easy and convenient to hop on and hop off. So if you are planning to visit Lisbon, get the "Lisboa Card" for as many days as you need and ride the Carris Transportes of Lisboa...You will be glad you did.
