🚋 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN LISBON
Lisbon can be easily explored using public transportation – including the metro, trams, and buses, but also commuter trains and ferries if you want to explore nearby areas like Sintra, Cascais, or the different towns on the South of the river Tejo.
You can travel in all these transports using the same card, the Navegante. You can purchase a card at any metro station machine, post offices, or Payshop. The card costs 0,50€ and can be topped up with credit using the zapping modality. The price per trip varies according to the type of transport, ranging between 1,80€ (metro and bus) to 3€ (ferry).

If you want to visit several museums, the Lisboa Card might be a good option, offering 24/48/72-hour passes and access to public transportation.
