I watched it for 30 minutes and never for a moment it appeared that you took a second more than necessary, It takes immense skill to make a presentation this good. I would rate it equally with a nice song or a movie. My super thanks!!
Dear Tony, my husband and I just returned from our first trip to Lisboa and Porto. I just wanted to thank you for all the useful information you are posting here on UA-cam. Without you we would have been so lost and floundering... But thanks to your many videos, we booked hotels in ideal locations within walking distance of so many interesting places! We enjoyed the #28 Tram in Lisboa by catching it at the beginning of the line. We took a train from Lisboa to Porto (and narrowly avoided the strike that began two days after we left). We walked the Dom Luiz 1 bridge (both lower and upper spans). We ate wonderful foods (Francesinha included!) in Lisboa, Porto, and Vila Nova de Gaia. We walked and walked and walked everywhere! Climbed more stairs than I thought could ever exist. Had a wonderful dinner in a Fado House in Lisboa. And the list goes on, and on. Again, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! With your expert guidance our first visit to Portugal was a rousing success! We'll be back!!!
Dear Elle and husband. You can't imagine how happy we are to hear about the success of your trip, and the role we played. You know where we are when you return to Portugal (or Spain)! All the very best to you!
In my younger days, I might have been able to keep with you, but I am feeling overwhelmed. Just tons of information. I’m going to drive the personnel in my hotel crazy with my questions! I will watch this video a bunch more times, for certain. Thanks so much!
Your excellent videos about Lisbon were very useful for our trip this past February. This one in particular gave us much confidence in using public transport and I think we tried them all: metro, bus, tram, funicular, elevator, ferry, Bolt and train to Sintra. About Tram #28: we took it on a Monday morning in February thinking it would not be too busy. But you are correct that there can be tourists any time of the year (it was particularly warm that weekend) and so we waited over an hour to get on at Martim Moniz. However, we took it again in the afternoon from the other end (Campo Ourique) and there was no waiting! It did fill up rapidly afterwards.
Great video....! :) Just a tip: Now we have a metropolitan network in Lisbon, so.. Not just in Lisbon "city", but every single transport in the metropolitan area, say Sintra, Cascais, Caparica, Almada, or even as far as Setubal or Vila Franca de Xira, work with those tickets you mentioned.. and that is Boats, Trains, Metro, Ascencores, Elétricos, Buses, and even the MTS (a type of metro/tram ..sort of the DLR in London) In the south bank, with an extensive line too.. And... Btw.. those ugly orange boats are about to disappear... The very nice blue and white Catamarans will stay, and there are very new modern ones just coming into service this year and the next, substituting most of the fleet... same with the modern trams, it's being built a much larger area for them, going into the east, but also west over the hills, and the very new trams are going to take over... including the E15... But not over the old charming ones, those are meant to stay forever.. we love them :))) In any case, those new lines/trams will go directly from Algés (west.. where the Lisbon Riviera beaches start) to Oriente (east... the new finance and entertainment center) all along the river in an amazing journey for sure...!
Thank you! Great to hear the rusty orange boats are about to disappear, they had some strange old charm but I much prefer the modern catamarans. All the best!
Extremely helpful. We’ve used your videos for travel in Spain making transportation such an easy way to navigate. We anticipate our upcoming trip to Portugal (Lisbon) to be much easier. Thank you SO MUCH 😊
Thank you for the helpful tips. You can read all the guidebooks but your videos clearly and concisely showed how transport in Lisbon works. I particularly enjoyed the videos of the art in the metro station.
Tony, congratulations on a extremely well explained subject which may looks and sound simple but it can be confusing for those not familiar with the small details, ie how and which transportation card to buy. I have enjoyed your videos, especially those of Magala, such a quaint and beautiful city; extremely tidy and well kept city. Kudos to you for sharing in a professional, pleasant and informative manner .
Tony, thank you so much for the informative, well thought out videos. We just returned from a week in Barcelona/Montserrat and a week in Lisbon/Sintra/Setubal. Your videos (and the Citymapper app) answered most of our questions and made us feel so much better prepared. One thing I want to mention is that the "Via Viagem/Siete Colinas" card is now called "navegante" and is bright yellow. Other than that, everything else seems to be the same.
Hi Bill, many thanks for your feedback, glad to hear we were of help. Yes, Navegante replaced Viva Viagem last year, it works exactly the same. All the best.
I've watched a number of videos in preparation for a trip to Lisbon (first time visiting) and your videos by far are the best, most helpful, with excellent photography and so much practical information. Obrigada!
¡Hola Tio Tony! Lisbon is one of my most-visited cities in Europe; I once walked from the airport all the way to the Oriente Station/Mall which was only about 2 km and it was in autumn. I wanted to pass some time before my flight to Barcelona that evening. Also once used the Sintra Line train from Rossio to Campolide so I could see the aqueduct. Wonderful memories! - Red
Travelling here in two months for first time. I'm clueless until I came across your video. Now all I need to figure out is a planned itinerary. Thank you❤❤
Incredibly helpful! I just sent this to my friends who are tagging along with me to Lisbon they had questions about the system that I couldn’t answer in such a professional clear and concise way
Most useful video for Lisbon Public Transport.I have been searching for almost 2 hours including Potugese official sites and couldnt understand much but this video is all I want. How to buy ticket, how to use metro or bus but also pass to ferry if needed, how to transfer between those, how to buy ticket and whick one has more advantages. Wonderful video ...
Delighted to hear that, Emre. Hope you'll have a great time in Lisbon. There's been a minor change, the transport card is now yellow and called "Navegante", but works in exactly the same way as described on the video for the Viva Viagem card.
I love all your videos! Awesome job delivering the important information without the fluff!! I don't know if you've have this topic since you published it a year ago, but now that I'm here in Lisbon, I have found that you can easily use your Visa card and your digital wallet on your phone instead of the paper card. A big step up from needing to hassle with loading up a card at the machine.
Hi Dan, many thanks for your words. Payment with contactless cards was introduced half way through last year. We don't think it's an interesting option, as you pay the full price. And if you don't care much for discounts, you'd probably be better off taking a Bolt or an Uber car, just slightly more expensive if it's more than one of you. All the best!
Just visited Lisbon, excellent public transport system, on time, no delay, clear indication! Additional information: for metro (not sure for other transport means), can use credit card directly, no need to buy ticket. I think better option for tourist, as there is fee for card, minimal loading each time €3 even at ticket office, so we wasted the remaining amount in cards
Thanks, yes, payment by credit card was introduced after we released this video. We don't think it's a good deal, you pay the full fare as opposed to a discounted fare when you pay with a card.
Wow you have given me confidence to travel to Lisbon again which I was there only half day with cruise ship,changed my mine to Portugal from Spain,been there many times,thank you so much
Hola Tony, so I planted to visit Lisbon, but I'm sick 😢. I became COVID. It's so sad, but I'll come to your wonderful City. Thank you so much for this helpful Video.❤ Best greetings
Hola Tony (great name , haha it’s mine also) I am so happy to have found your channel I have tried to prepare an itinerary for our visit to Portugal and Spain You have helped in tremendous ways Thank you 🙏🏽
thank you Tony love you man eres muy professional en lo que hace gracias mill thank you so much. we are planing to go in sep and I alway watch your videos went to Spain last year y tus videos exelentes
I’m headed to Lisbon in a month and I’m sure glad I found your videos They are very well made and to understand and I’m feeling very confident that I will be able to enjoy Lisbon with a day trip to Sintra and possibly Nazare if the waves are worth it when I’m there
Hola Tony 😊 Portugal is in my bucket list. Your video will definitely come in very handy in the event I get to visit this beautiful country. Great helpful tips and recommendations. 👍 👍 👍 Muito obrigado Tony !!! 😊
excellent video and highly informative as always. we will be arriving in lisbon around 1pm. we are considering the 24h card so we can use from the airport then use in elevatores and tram till the following day.
Thank you for the information! it is wonderful, is there a difference between the colina card and the Lisboa card? Also, by chance do you have a city map divided by sections with all the important places to visit in that specific zone, including restaurants? Thank you again!!
Thank you. We don't know of any Colina card as such, but if you are referring to the 7 Colinas card, it is a transport pass identical to the Viva Viagem card. The Lisboa Card is quite different and more comprehensive, see the details on this video: ua-cam.com/video/3ChNxwMCIhM/v-deo.html We don't have a map as such but on this video you will see the location of the main attractions in Lisbon: ua-cam.com/video/GSMVJc6cNhI/v-deo.html
lovely video! When you simulated buying a card, there was a 24 hour option that included ferries that you did not discuss. Does that option with ferries include the boat routes you highlighted?
Hi, we didn't covered all the options to make things easier to understand. The option with ferries include the boats going across the estuary, in our opinion, it doesn't pay off. Cheaper to pay for the boats individually. Unless you plan on spending the day coming and going by boat.
Hello Tony, great video which would help us a lot for our trip in the short future! Can you pls inform if possible to purchase a single ticket if there's still a little amount of credit left from the zapping? Thanks!
Hi Yonari, unfortunately, if there is any zapping credit left on your card you won't be able to load anything other than more zapping credit. It's quite annoying, basically, once you add zapping credit, you need to stick to zapping credit, as it's very hard to zero the credit balance.
What a great video! Can I ask what is the difference between the bus/metro 24 hour ticket and the bus/metro/train 24 hour ticket other than the obvious inclusion of use of the trains on the latter? Does the former bus/metro ticket also allow for the use on the trams and lifts and funicular ?
Hi Kirstin, you go it right, the second ticket allows you to ride the trains as well. Both tickets include the trams, lifts and funiculars. All the best!
Hello Tony, I am planning to visit Lisbon and your videos have been very informative. Can the Zavegante Card with Zapping also be used on the Railway system (Comboios de Portugal) to Belem and Sintra?
Hi Tony. Yet another great video. Thank you! Question, please.......for the "Zapping" option where you can load your card with Euro, is there a time expiration by which you have to use the metro and buses after loading your card? For example, we arrive on a Monday and leave on a Friday. Once we load our Viva card, do we have until Friday to use our loaded funds? Or do we have to use our loaded cards within a certain time frame after loading it with funds?
Hello, the zapping credits do not expire. But be aware you won't be refunded for any unused credit. The new transport card is called Navegante, it works exactly the same as the old Viva Viagem card.
Hi Tony, love your video. A few questions for you... We will be in Portugal (Lisbon) in early August and we are a family of 7. :) Wondering what the best way to get to our accomodations in Lisboa from the airport. We want to take the train. 1. Hoping you can help us source out our route (Google Maps is a little confusing) 2. Do you know if we need a car seat for our 2 year old if we use Uber/Bolt? 3. Lastly, what is your recommendation on where to get a SIM card? Hoping for something that has data (unlimited) and a phone plan. Thanks for your help. :)
Hello, we have a specific video explaining how to leave the airport here: ua-cam.com/video/s-3owFj8xpk/v-deo.html Lisbon trains don't reach the airport. You can buy a SIM card at the airport. All the best.
Hi Tony. I came across your great videos about Portugal ever since I got a job offer for Lisbon. Can you please tell me if those vending machines were we can purchase Lisboa Card do also have the option for monthly pass for all Lisbon and surroundings? Thank you very much, Tony.
Hi Mihaela, we are not sure, we never research options that are only for residents. But I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. Have a great time in Lisbon!
I’m hoping to come to Lisbon and areas this year . Your videos are excellent and one thing very good is that you speak slowly for everyone to understand. Query: With the Lisboa card can you get it for a week ? I need public transport for around 6 days and want just one card. Put some € on it and not have to think about a fare each trip. What do you suggest?
Hi Janz, watch this video to understand what the Lisboa Card can do for you: ua-cam.com/video/3ChNxwMCIhM/v-deo.html It is a combo of attraction and transport pass. If you only need public transport, load either a 24 hours pass or enough credit to keep you going.
Thanks for the very informative transport video. Can I put more than one 24-hour pass on a Viva Viagem similar to putting more than one single ticket on the card? I will be staying a distance from the nearest metro station and will be using a lot of buses.
Thanks Steve, we've never done it but I believe at the time of purchase you can load more than one 24-hour tickets on your card. Viva Viagem is now called Navegante but the way it works is identical to what it is described here. All the best to you!
Thank you for the informative video. One aspect remains unclear: is it possible for children between 3 and 4 years old to travel for free in Lisbon? This area wasn't addressed, leaving me a bit confused
I am sorry but my comment is not related to Lisbon. Thank you though for this video. It will come in handy soon. If you can, can you make a video about about the Renfe's free travel for 2023. I have read some blogs about it but it's a bit confusing. :) Gracias !
This is such a great, detailed, well-explained video!! I will be visiting Portugal for 3 days. Can you tell me if these are best options to buy Viva Viagem card: Day #1 riding Lisbon metro, specifically funiculars, lifts & trams (buy €6.45 Bus/Metro Daily Ticket?); Day #2 riding Lisbon metro & visiting Sintra (buy €10.70 Bus/Metro/Train Daily Ticket?); and Day #3 riding Lisbon metro and visiting Cacihas (buy €9.60 Bus/Metro/Ferry (Cacihas) Daily Ticket?)? Also if the 24 hour period ends mid-day the next day, do I have to keep track of that time or can I buy a new 24-hour ticket in the morning? Thank you!
Thank you, Tony. In your case, we would get a daily ticket for day #1, and then charge money credit on the card for the remaining of your stay. You will end up spending far less money than if you bought the Daily ticket for days 2 and 3. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Your recommendation is so appreciated, thank you! Looking forward to viewing all of your videos since we plan on going to Spain after our Portugal trip!
Hi Tony. Wanting to book accommodation in Lisbon. Can suggest some neighbourhoods. I found your videos in Madrid and Barcelona valuable when finding accommodation
Thank u Tony. I have extensively watch your videos and found them so helpful in planning our trip. Would it be possible to request some assistance with visiting Gilbratar. We only want to do a day trip and not sure from what town, or if a day trip is possible. Any advice u could provide would be greatly appreciated. Cheers from Noela in Australia 😊
Hi Barbara, not sure about that, there is a CP ticket office at Rossio (usually incredibly busy) but not sure they sell long-distance trains. If you wait to buy your Porto ticket till the last minute you renounce to promotional fares and risk not finding seats.
Hi Tony! My family is travelling to Portugal in August. Your videos have been so helpful in planning our trip! Just a question about the 24 hour transit pass - what is the cost for children?
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much for your response! Another question - can you share some suggestions/tips about renting a car? We are planning a day trip to Cascais and also want to visit Boca da Inferno and Cabo da Roca. We thought renting a car would give us flexibility to move at our own pace.
@@dorothywong1467 we will soon have a video on Cascais on the channel, but we've never than that day trip by car, so we cannot share any advice on the issue.

Thank you my friend for all your profound and superb made videos. I really appreciate it and I'm looking forward to my Lisboa visit.
Delighted to hear that, Marco.
Thank you do much for sharing 😊
Any time!
I love all your videos! Awesome job delivering the important information without the fluff!!
I don't know if you've have this topic since you published it a year ago, but now that I'm here in Lisbon, I have found that you can easily use your Visa card and your digital wallet on your phone instead of the paper card. A big step up from needing to hassle with loading up a card at the machine.
Hi Dan, many thanks for your words. Payment with contactless cards was introduced half way through last year. We don't think it's an interesting option, as you pay the full price. And if you don't care much for discounts, you'd probably be better off taking a Bolt or an Uber car, just slightly more expensive if it's more than one of you. All the best!
Another excellent video, all very well explained, full of useful information. I loved!
Thanks so much, Yara.
1000 thanks for the hard work
very informative
thanks again
👏👏👏👏
Just visited Lisbon, excellent public transport system, on time, no delay, clear indication!
Additional information: for metro (not sure for other transport means), can use credit card directly, no need to buy ticket. I think better option for tourist, as there is fee for card, minimal loading each time €3 even at ticket office, so we wasted the remaining amount in cards
Thanks, yes, payment by credit card was introduced after we released this video. We don't think it's a good deal, you pay the full fare as opposed to a discounted fare when you pay with a card.
Great presentation!
Thank you, Judy!
Tony what an excellent video.
Thanks you, Julie!
Wow you have given me confidence to travel to Lisbon again which I was there only half day with cruise ship,changed my mine to Portugal from Spain,been there many times,thank you so much
Many wonderful places to explore in Lisbon, hope you'll have a great time on your return!

Delighted to hear that, Lourdes. Have a great trip to Lisbon (our first video in March is dedicated to the top 20 Lisbon attractions).

We love Lisbon. What a great city
👍
I’m headed to Lisbon in a month and I’m sure glad I found your videos They are very well made and to understand and I’m feeling very confident that I will be able to enjoy Lisbon with a day trip to Sintra and possibly Nazare if the waves are worth it when I’m there
Delighted to hear that! Hope the timing is right for catching some great waves in Nazaré.
Hola Tony 😊
Portugal is in my bucket list. Your video will definitely come in very handy in the event I get to visit this beautiful country. Great helpful tips and recommendations. 👍 👍 👍
Muito obrigado Tony !!! 😊
Por nada, Jasper! There are more Portugal videos in the pipeline, so stay tuned! All the best!
Great information, but so much to learn!
You welcome! Yes, public transport systems usually demand quite a lot of time and attention.
excellent video and highly informative as always. we will be arriving in lisbon around 1pm. we are considering the 24h card so we can use from the airport then use in elevatores and tram till the following day.
Sounds like an excellent choice, Anna.
Excellent video but wish it was posted before my trip last month.😀
You'll be able to use it when you return to Lisbon next time!
Gud video & helpful bro.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
24:45 about zapping, can I take out the remaining value back when I finish the trip?
Thank you so much Tony. All of your videos are many helpful.
Thank you! Unfortunately, you cannot recover any unused zapping credits. All the best!
Çok teşekkürler Tony...😉
Rica ederim!
Nice
👍
Thank you
👍
Muito obrigado
Por nada!
Thank you for the information! it is wonderful, is there a difference between the colina card and the Lisboa card?
Also, by chance do you have a city map divided by sections with all the important places to visit in that specific zone, including restaurants? Thank you again!!
Thank you. We don't know of any Colina card as such, but if you are referring to the 7 Colinas card, it is a transport pass identical to the Viva Viagem card. The Lisboa Card is quite different and more comprehensive, see the details on this video: ua-cam.com/video/3ChNxwMCIhM/v-deo.html We don't have a map as such but on this video you will see the location of the main attractions in Lisbon: ua-cam.com/video/GSMVJc6cNhI/v-deo.html
I'm really enjoying watching the videos. I wonder if you could recommend a transport app for Lisbon?
Hello there, in Lisbon we always use Google Maps. All the best.
May i ask you the cost of one-day pass? We love your videos!
Right now it's 6,60€, you can find all the updated transport prices on the first fixed comment below the video.
lovely video! When you simulated buying a card, there was a 24 hour option that included ferries that you did not discuss. Does that option with ferries include the boat routes you highlighted?
Hi, we didn't covered all the options to make things easier to understand. The option with ferries include the boats going across the estuary, in our opinion, it doesn't pay off. Cheaper to pay for the boats individually. Unless you plan on spending the day coming and going by boat.
wow thank you!!!
Our pleasure!
Hello Tony, great video which would help us a lot for our trip in the short future! Can you pls inform if possible to purchase a single ticket if there's still a little amount of credit left from the zapping? Thanks!
Hi Yonari, unfortunately, if there is any zapping credit left on your card you won't be able to load anything other than more zapping credit. It's quite annoying, basically, once you add zapping credit, you need to stick to zapping credit, as it's very hard to zero the credit balance.
What a great video! Can I ask what is the difference between the bus/metro 24 hour ticket and the bus/metro/train 24 hour ticket other than the obvious inclusion of use of the trains on the latter? Does the former bus/metro ticket also allow for the use on the trams and lifts and funicular ?
Hi Kirstin, you go it right, the second ticket allows you to ride the trains as well. Both tickets include the trams, lifts and funiculars. All the best!
Hello Tony, I am planning to visit Lisbon and your videos have been very informative. Can the Zavegante Card with Zapping also be used on the Railway system (Comboios de Portugal) to Belem and Sintra?
Hello, it can be used indeed! We explain how to reach Sintra here ua-cam.com/video/ao-T6ap8HvU/v-deo.html
❤
Hi Tony. Yet another great video. Thank you! Question, please.......for the "Zapping" option where you can load your card with Euro, is there a time expiration by which you have to use the metro and buses after loading your card? For example, we arrive on a Monday and leave on a Friday. Once we load our Viva card, do we have until Friday to use our loaded funds? Or do we have to use our loaded cards within a certain time frame after loading it with funds?
Hello, the zapping credits do not expire. But be aware you won't be refunded for any unused credit. The new transport card is called Navegante, it works exactly the same as the old Viva Viagem card.
Hi Tony, love your video. A few questions for you... We will be in Portugal (Lisbon) in early August and we are a family of 7. :) Wondering what the best way to get to our accomodations in Lisboa from the airport. We want to take the train.
1. Hoping you can help us source out our route (Google Maps is a little confusing)
2. Do you know if we need a car seat for our 2 year old if we use Uber/Bolt?
3. Lastly, what is your recommendation on where to get a SIM card? Hoping for something that has data (unlimited) and a phone plan.
Thanks for your help. :)
Hello, we have a specific video explaining how to leave the airport here: ua-cam.com/video/s-3owFj8xpk/v-deo.html Lisbon trains don't reach the airport. You can buy a SIM card at the airport. All the best.
Hi Tony. I came across your great videos about Portugal ever since I got a job offer for Lisbon. Can you please tell me if those vending machines were we can purchase Lisboa Card do also have the option for monthly pass for all Lisbon and surroundings? Thank you very much, Tony.
Hi Mihaela, we are not sure, we never research options that are only for residents. But I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. Have a great time in Lisbon!
I’m hoping to come to Lisbon and areas this year . Your videos are excellent and one thing very good is that you speak slowly for everyone to understand. Query: With the Lisboa card can you get it for a week ? I need public transport for around 6 days and want just one card. Put some € on it and not have to think about a fare each trip. What do you suggest?
Hi Janz, watch this video to understand what the Lisboa Card can do for you: ua-cam.com/video/3ChNxwMCIhM/v-deo.html It is a combo of attraction and transport pass. If you only need public transport, load either a 24 hours pass or enough credit to keep you going.
Thanks for the very informative transport video. Can I put more than one 24-hour pass on a Viva Viagem similar to putting more than one single ticket on the card? I will be staying a distance from the nearest metro station and will be using a lot of buses.
Thanks Steve, we've never done it but I believe at the time of purchase you can load more than one 24-hour tickets on your card. Viva Viagem is now called Navegante but the way it works is identical to what it is described here. All the best to you!
Thank you for the informative video. One aspect remains unclear: is it possible for children between 3 and 4 years old to travel for free in Lisbon? This area wasn't addressed, leaving me a bit confused
Children under 4 travel for free in Lisbon.
👏👏. Good video - thanks. Question - Is there an app for your phone to help first time visitors to navigate the Lisbon transport system?
Thanks, Doug, not that we know of. We use Google Maps to get around.
I am sorry but my comment is not related to Lisbon. Thank you though for this video. It will come in handy soon.
If you can, can you make a video about about the Renfe's free travel for 2023. I have read some blogs about it but it's a bit confusing. :) Gracias
!
Hello there! If you leave your question on any of the several videos we have on trains in Spain we'll reply to it! All the best!
This is such a great, detailed, well-explained video!! I will be visiting Portugal for 3 days. Can you tell me if these are best options to buy Viva Viagem card: Day #1 riding Lisbon metro, specifically funiculars, lifts & trams (buy €6.45 Bus/Metro Daily Ticket?); Day #2 riding Lisbon metro & visiting Sintra (buy €10.70 Bus/Metro/Train Daily Ticket?); and Day #3 riding Lisbon metro and visiting Cacihas (buy €9.60 Bus/Metro/Ferry (Cacihas) Daily Ticket?)? Also if the 24 hour period ends mid-day the next day, do I have to keep track of that time or can I buy a new 24-hour ticket in the morning? Thank you!
Thank you, Tony. In your case, we would get a daily ticket for day #1, and then charge money credit on the card for the remaining of your stay. You will end up spending far less money than if you bought the Daily ticket for days 2 and 3. All the best!
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Your recommendation is so appreciated, thank you! Looking forward to viewing all of your videos since we plan on going to Spain after our Portugal trip!
@@tonybaronfamily5082 👏👏👏
Hi Tony. Wanting to book accommodation in Lisbon. Can suggest some neighbourhoods. I found your videos in Madrid and Barcelona valuable when finding accommodation
Hi Noela, if you can wait, on 5 February airs our video on the best areas to look for accommodation in Lisbon. All the best!
Thank u Tony. I have extensively watch your videos and found them so helpful in planning our trip.
Would it be possible to request some assistance with visiting Gilbratar. We only want to do a day trip and not sure from what town, or if a day trip is possible. Any advice u could provide would be greatly appreciated. Cheers from Noela in Australia 😊
@@noelawalls5340 hi Noela, we don't have anything on Gibraltar yet. Málaga might be your best choice for that day trip.
Ola Tony
Can I purchase train tickets from Lisbon to Porto at Rossio station or only at St Apolonia?
Obrigada
Barbara
Hi Barbara, not sure about that, there is a CP ticket office at Rossio (usually incredibly busy) but not sure they sell long-distance trains. If you wait to buy your Porto ticket till the last minute you renounce to promotional fares and risk not finding seats.
Obrigada
Hi Tony! My family is travelling to Portugal in August. Your videos have been so helpful in planning our trip!
Just a question about the 24 hour transit pass - what is the cost for children?
Hi Dorothy, kids of up to 3 years of age travel for free. Above that age, they pay the same price as adults.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Thank you very much for your response! Another question - can you share some suggestions/tips about renting a car? We are planning a day trip to Cascais and also want to visit Boca da Inferno and Cabo da Roca. We thought renting a car would give us flexibility to move at our own pace.
@@dorothywong1467 we will soon have a video on Cascais on the channel, but we've never than that day trip by car, so we cannot share any advice on the issue.
@@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal Great, thank you. I look forward to your video about Cascais :)
@@dorothywong1467 it should air at the end of August, might not be ready in time for your trip.
