Lisbon hillside and yellow tram for AloOui Portugal eSIM travel

From Humberto Delgado Airport to your neighbourhood

Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport, LIS, connects to the city by the Metro Red Line. Change at Alameda for the Green Line toward Baixa-Chiado, or at São Sebastião for the Blue Line. Save the interchange and accommodation entrance before flying. If taking a taxi or booked transfer, keep your terminal and meeting instructions beside the address, especially for a late arrival.

Trams, hills and four Lisbon stops

Use Metro for longer cross-city journeys and Carris buses or trams for neighbourhood connections. Download the route before going underground, as signal can dip in tunnels. On a hillside walk, check the final approach as well as the distance: a nearby pin can involve stairs. Save the return stop before boarding a tram and keep your phone tucked away when moving through crowded doors.

  • Alfama: pin your accommodation’s actual doorway and download the host’s arrival instructions before entering narrow lanes.
  • Belém: keep Jerónimos Monastery bookings and the relevant Carris stop together for the westbound outing.
  • Baixa-Chiado: save the station exit closest to your meeting point to simplify the climb between neighbourhoods.
  • Parque das Nações: download the Oceanário booking and walking route from Oriente before a family visit.

Lisbon-specific tip: Rossio railway station and Rossio Metro station are separate entrances. Save the railway departure pin when heading to Sintra rather than relying on the shared station name.

For Sintra, keep the train itinerary, palace entry time and onward local transfer instructions offline. Plan the return before leaving Lisbon so the hilltop visit has a clear finish.
