When
you come to Lisbon, I recommend that you buy the Lisboa Card.
This card gives you free
admissions or discounts in almost all
museums and monuments you
may want to visit.
Examples of places where you can take advantage of the free admission
are the Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro
dos Jerónimos) and the Belém Tower (Torre de Belém).
Or the Coaches Museum (Museu
dos Coches Reais) and Tile Museum (Museu do Azulejo).
By the way, these are two fantastics guardians of portuguese history!
Don't miss them.
With this card, you can use
many of the public
transportations for free.
The Carris Buses (the
only public bus company inside the city), trams
and Elevators
are free.
The
Metro de
Lisboa (subway) and the main train circuits of CP (Caminhos de Ferro de Portugal)
arround Lisbon are also free for you (if you have the card, of course).
If you go outside the
city, to visit some of the spectacular sights and
places like the National Place of Mafra or Queluz, take your card with
you for free admission.
You can buy your card at the Tourist Information Office (Lisbon Welcome Center) at Plazo do Comércio or at the Lisbon Airport (if
you're arriving by airplane).
It can be collected in one of the places metioned above. More details on purchase.
