Traveling Information

Travel to and within Lisbon

Lisbon is easy to get to. It is a short flight away from most European cities, and is just as easily accessible by road, railway or sea. 
Lisbon International Airport, 7 km from the city centre, has daily flights to and from the major cities in Europe and the world. The Portuguese airline TAP-Air Portugal, as well as major international airlines, fly to and from Lisbon.

To access the city centre, from the airport, several options are available:

Aerobus

Makes the run between Lisbon Airport and the city centre.
Service begins at 7:45 h and ends at 20:15 h. Buses pass every 20 minutes.
The ticket may be purchased from the driver, as you board the bus.

Taxis

There are two taxi stands within the perimeter of the airport, one at arrivals and another at departures. You can get more info and purchase a Taxi Voucher at the Tourism Information Counter in the airport's Arrivals Hall.

Visa Requirements

A valid passport (or identity card for European Community nationals) is required. 
Visas are not necessary for citizens of EU countries. Please contact your local Portuguese Embassy, Consulate or your travel agency for further information. Participants who need a visa to travel to Portugal are strongly advised to make their application in their home country at least three months before the intended date of travel.
