Thank you but unfortunately this info seems incorrect as it may have changed. We used this advice & bought tickets for Yellow Bus & had so many problems. 1) Price for 48 hrs is actually the same at the other Red bus company 2) BUT the other Red company has much more frequent buses & one can actually get a seat 3) The red bus map is excellent & clear - while Yellow bus map is so small it is impossible to find the bus stops.. We walked for more than 1 hr trying to find their bus stops.. 4) Red bus co. has an app that tells you where is the nearest stop AND when is the next stop.. All in all, we had a very negative experience & wish we used the other company.
Obrigado for this information; it's really valuable. Quick question: where can one buy the yellow bus tour? I am planning to take the metro from the airport to my hotel in Graca and will probably take the hop on off bus the day after. Thanks!
Hi Yamil. Thank you for your comment and question. It's much appreciated. You can purchase the yellow bus either online, or locally. In case you would like to have a look at the online option, feel free to have a look at our link below: travelguidelisbon.com/hop-on-hop-off-bus-tours-in-lisbon/ - in it, you will find a link to our partner who offers the 48-h option at the same normal rate as the supplier, with immediate confirmation (you would need to present the voucher onboard, either printed or on your mobile device). Feel free to let us know, should you have any other questions. Have a wonderful time in Lisbon!
Whatever you do in Portugal, don't use the hop-on hop-off buses in Lisbon or Sintra! I've been on these buses in Dublin, Rome, Paris and San Diego and they are a great way to see the city. But both my experiences with these buses in Lisbon and Sintra were absolute disasters! In Lisbon it was chaos personified. You can buy a ticket with no problem, but getting onto the bus is a nightmare. We stood in the hot sun for 45 minutes waiting for a bus at the starting point. They simply didn't have enough buses. Once on-board, the narration audio didn't work and the bus driver didn't stop at any of the assigned stopping points, even when were pressed the "Stop" button. In Sintra, there were no signs indicating the pick-up point and I watched the driver pass several people who tried to flag him down, even though there was plenty of room on the bus. Portugal's hop-on hop-off buses are a massive rip-off. Don't take my word for it. Check the Travelocity reviews. They are consistently rated one or two stars by travelers.
Hello Maria. Thanks for information. My flight is to Lisbon at the end of November 2019. One of the places that I have to visit is Cabo da Roca but I studied in November Hop on Hop off dose not go this place. so is there any other solution, I mean public transportation? I stay for 3 days. and what is your Idea about rent car. I am single. I do not know about the parking facilities and os on. Thanks and best regard. Saleh
HI Saleh. Thank you for your comment and questions. We have prepared a dedicated article for "Cabo da Roca". In section "How to get to Cabo da Roca", you will find more details, including which bus you could take as there arent indeed any hop-on-hop-off options: travelguidelisbon.com/what-to-do-in-cabo-da-roca-where-the-land-ends-and-the-sea-beggins/ In your case, for just 3 days, it might not be worth renting a car. In your case perhaps either public transportation, or a guided tour (which includes also other must-visit locations) could be a better option. Have a wonderful time in Lisbon!
The video has at least 1 error. There are 3 Sightsseing companies in Lisbon and not 2! The Yellow Buses, Citysightseeing Portugal and Gray Line. Both Citysightseeing Portugal and Gray Line use Red buses, but they are DIFFERENT companies! And if the purpose of the video is to make a comparison, at the beginning you should not say that the Yellows are your favorites, but at the end and if you used the 2 services (which in reality are 3). Therefore, in this video, I didn't realize if you really used the 2 companies. I even wonder if he used any company.

This info is false, the bus tours dont work that way with the diffent 'tagus' routes and whatever. You will find nothing like this
The video has at least 1 error.
There are 3 Sightsseing companies in Lisbon and not 2!
The Yellow Buses, Citysightseeing Portugal and Gray Line.
