Tickets

To ride public transport in Lisbon, you’ll need to buy a non-refundable Viva Viagem card, which costs €0.50. 

You can buy and load your Viva Viagem card in any metro station from a ticket machine.

You can buy three different types of tickets:



• Single tickets: good for one metro or bus ride within Lisbon, for example from the airport to your hotel, provided you don’t plan to use any other public transport on that same day.
• 24-hour tickets which come in three options (for use within the city only, or including commuter train / ferry): the best option if you’re planning to travel extensively, for example riding several trams and funiculars, and don’t want to worry about tracking tickets or Zapping money.
• Zapping: pay as you go money that you load into your card and can use to ride the metro, tram, funicular, bus, commuter train, and ferry.
