5 things you need to know about public transportation in Lisbon:

1. Navegante card is valid in all public transportation including Metro, Trams, Buses and Funiculars

2. Tickets can be bought in every metro station in the city. Card always costs 0,50€ and then you can buy: Daily ticket, Single Trips or Zapping.

3. You can buy tickets inside Trams & bus but the recommended is to buy it advance. Lines will be smaller, smoother experience for locals and for you and you don't need to worry about change (driver will complain if you don't have chamge to pay for the tickets)

4. On the Buses and Trams (exception the newer versions of the 15 tram) you always enter through the front door, validate ticket and exit through the back door.

5. Metro system operates everyday from 6:30 AM until 1 AM. Trams like the 28 or 15 operate from 5 AM to midnight.

Temperatures in Lisbon still going to be high for a while, so a beach day/ half day is always a good option to run away from the heat.

The easiest ones to access from Lisbon are the ones in the line of Cascais and the ones at Costa da Caparica.

How to choose between both?

- if you are only using public transport Cascais is definitely the best option, as you have direct train.

- if you have a car or don’t mind using Uber/Bolt, Costa da Caparica it’s better.
- Some options in Cascais like Cresmina/Guincho will need a car too.

Why? More options and bigger extensions of sand.
Both options can have a lot of people but in Costa da Caparica, in general, more space.

Downside: public transportation to take you there it’s time consuming and sometimes not the most reliable.

A lot of the beaches will have beach bars and options for food.
Some of them will have chairs that you can rent for the day.

Regardless of the option, you will have a great time!
Oh, and don’t forget to try your Bola de Berlim, while at the beach!

Enjoy!

Going up Calçada da Gloria to reach São Pedro de Alcantara viewpoint. It’s a 8 minute walk on a really steep hill, less than 2 minutes using the funicular. Problem? There is always a big line but today empty and no one waiting! Lucky, uh?

We often talk about the narrow streets of Lisbon but we also quite a few narrow buildings. Have you seen this one before?

No wonder we like to call Lisbon an “open air museum”. In the most unexpected places you find great pieces of art, elaborate tile work and in this case a beautiful fountain, almost hidden and left to abandonment. Anyone passed by this beautiful piece?

Day or night Lisbon never looses its charm! 🤩

High season is starting and it’s also a time of the year where pickpockets can be a bit more active.

Even though Lisbon was considered one of the safest capitals in Europe, this things can happen. It’s not reason for panic or extreme concern, but our advice is trying not make the pickpockets “work” easier so it’s never too much to share a few recommendations to have in mind, as shown in the infographic shared by the police.

In the event of being robbed by a pickpocket, you should always report, especially if you had documents stolen too. Commonly (not guaranteed, of course) the wallets appear without money but the documents still there.

There is a Tourism Police stations at the Cruiseship terminal.
However if necessary you can ask any police officer or head to any police station and they should be able to help you and redirect for the correct place.

For those who don’t believe is when we say there are banana trees (and bananas) in Alfama… there you go! Hidden, that’s a fact, but best thing about exploring the neighbourhood is to keep your eyes open and spot all the tiny details!

Those unexpected Lisbon views that will give you the perfect Instagram moment! 🤩

We often talk about local knowledge and how important that is. When you tour with someone that truly knows and loves the area, that can make a huge difference.

That is why is so rewarding to receive messages like this one. Happy to know that the experience was as gratifying for the participants as it was for us to plan.

There is also one of the main advantages with working with small local companies vs big platforms; a personalised 1:1 planning of the tours to make it your own.

It’s always rewarding when you get something like this. Makes us proud of the work we have been doing and motivate us to keep doing better everyday!

Regardless of the tour you book we put our best into it but with the private tours we can take it to another level and make every tour special for each person or group.

That’s one of the reasons we believe or can be a major advantage of working with a small local company like ours! We are people connecting with people, working to give you the best experience possible!

As a tour company, feedback is always valuable, but when it comes in the form of a comic story created by a young and incredibly talented 9-year-old artist named Juliette, it leaves us speechless and feeling truly rewarded. Not only are children a challenging audience to please, but their honesty and directness make their feedback even more special.
