By bus

The easiest way to reach the centre of Lisbon, using a bus from the airport is the Aerobus. This special shuttle service provides regular transfer connection between Lisbon Airport, several central points of the city and the main bus and railway stations. The single ticket is about 3.50 €. Please use Aerobus line 1 to bring you from airport to Saldanha, the closest Aerobus point to IST.

By Taxi

There are two taxi zones within the airport area, one at arrivals and the other at departures. The fare on the taxi meter should read 2.00 € (day time) or 2.50 € (night time). Outside the city limits, city fares are charged per kilometer (0.45 €/km). An additional 1.60 € is normally charged for the transportation of luggage or animals. Before taking a taxi, inquire about the fare. Typically, a taxi from the airport to the city center should cost 6.00 € – 10.00 € (depending on traffic and distance).
