Lisbon Hotel map and travel info

City break, Lisbon, Portugal

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
British Airways (www.britishairways.com) and TAP (www.flytap.com) both fly direct from London to Lisbon; TAP also operates direct flights from Newark in the US to the city.
Boats
You can take ferries across to Seixal, Cacilhas, Montijo and Barreiro from close to the main plaza (Praca do Comércio). Exploring Lisbon by water is a great way to appreciate the city’s beauty.
Trains
The Portuguese national train service is Comboios de Portugal (www.cp.pt). There are two main stations in Lisbon: Santa Apolónia and Gare do Oriente. The recently renovated Lisbon Metro (www.metrolisboa.pt) is useful if you want to visit some of the parks on the further reaches of the city. Be prepared for a few changes during your journey; it’s not the most user-friendly network around.
Automobiles
One-way roads and tiny streets mean that driving in Lisbon is a somewhat hair-raising experience, further complicated by challenging parking. It’s best to avoid the stress and stick to taxis.
