I wish it was explained before that we would need to pickup our card at a certain location, they made it seem like we would just have them on the app. Also I would have liked a map that showed where the museums and sites were located and what buses were available to get to them. Navigating became difficult and we were not able to get the most out of the card. Almost doesn't seem worth it, especially since as a family we could have gotten discounts at most sites without the Lisboa card
The advantages of the Lisboa Card: free access to public transport. Free or reduced-price entry to many monuments, saving time in queues.

Not only the public transportation was great! You get on and off wherever you want. Admission to the museums and sights listed is also great. What we didn't find was free access to the Elevador de Santa Justa. But maybe on our next visit - with the Lisboa Gard, of course!

Impossible to buy day tickets. We should have our tickets online and accessible on our cell phone without having to walk miles to go to a metro station to buy them.

We got our cards in a matter of minutes from the tourist office, they were easy to use and the brochure we downloaded from the website gave exhaustive information about the attractions we could use them for.
I loved the card, was just a bit worried about the time wtitten on the electronic WhatsApp message which statec that I purchased the card much earlier than I actually did. Once I got the physical card and asked around how it works all was perfect.
Beautiful city, great restaurants, impeccable public service. A city definitely worth visiting even more than once

THe castle was awesome. The instructions on use of the tickets were problematic. They state to locate the kiosk. We never found that. We eventually found a ticket taker at the castle who let us in based on the pass we had. But this circling around the castle was stressful and likely took a full hour of our day.
A magnificent place, nothing to complain about. However, there should be timetable slots so that we don't have to queue with no estimated waiting time. And the visit to the church is free.

Certainly of interest to those who are willing to stand in endless queues to visit monuments such as the belém... The monastery... The lisboa card was only useful for taking public transport, so I paid a lot, plus I had booked it for 72 hours...

The Lisboa card was great value, we visited 3 places that were free with it and the Aquarium where we got a discount. It worked perfectly for the metro and trams that we used multiple times a day. It was great to be able to not queue or access the sorted lines due to having the card. I would definitely recommend it!
The card is very useful when visiting several museums and using public transport. It offers significant savings, especially for the 72-hour pass. It's very easy to use.

Easy to pick up and easy to use. Regarding São Jorge castle, we couldn't use the card directly as access, like others at attractions, but had to pick up free tickets at the ticket office, i.e. we had to queue there instead of being able to use our own card and skip the queue.
The wide variety of visits on offer and the pass's practicality in organizing the day make a stay with the Lisboa pass a smooth one.

I really liked the cloister, the ornamentation of the columns and capitals is very rich. I find the Manueline style very interesting. Also the sacritistia with the wood and leather furniture and the very unique books.

Nice experience. We loved the Pena Palace and surroundings. I recommend the carriage museum. On the downside, we were not able to visit the Belem Tower. We arrived at the site and the officials did not give us access. They use tourists to get job perks and that is unfair. It is a bad image for Portugal and tour operators like Headout should take part in it, because they sell a promise that is not being fulfilled and it also damages their image. For me, the fair thing would be to be compensated for those tickets included in the Lisbon Card.

Headout worked well for booking. With our tickets, we waited in a relatively long line to get in (within an hour) but once inside, found the experience well worth the visit and a must see.
The monastery is stunning... cool, beautiful and serene . Worth queueing to visit, although after buying a ticket online we got to the front of the queue and then had to go across the road to pick up the Lisboa card. The office was closed for lunch, so by the time we got into the monastery several hours had gone by.
We had a good experience because we arrived really early and only had to wait for about 45 minutes, unlike friends who waited 2 hours in the afternoon. We were in a queue for about 20 minutes before we realised we needed to go to the ticket office to validate our Lisboa card. This information may have been in the small print but it may need to be a more prominant as it would have been awful to wait for a long time and then not be able to get in because we hadn't validated the ticket.
There is always a Line in the sun in hot weather they shoulf offer a shadow put a temporary tent- its eay too hot! They should have more info points inside the venue- with the history and infotmation of the venue-
The card is very useful as you can move around the city without any problem and access the most important attractions without waiting in line for tickets. It worked great for me to see the most popular attractions in the city. 🎉

You have to be very careful with external transport that after charging you a lot of money not all schedules are covered and in the end you have to return to the train for your means!!!!!.

The monastery is beautiful overall, but the visit was very quick, and the wait in full sun was longer. Moreover, there are no clear signs at the entrance.
View original review in French
Architecturally, the cloister is a work of art of infinite beauty. I used Headout to purchase the Lisboa card, so entrance to the monastery was free. To be suggested is the provision of some kind of protection from the heat and sun for people in line

I found it a complicated process to buy the tickets with youed, it is absurd to have to stand in a long line to redeem the virtual tickets for the card. I would improve that process.

I have put good to put something because we could not enter to see the castle as we had to return to Spain for an emergency so we did not visit Sintra.

Castle was wonderfull. I m from Slovakia and I had realy nice experience from a trip to Sintra.I will only recomend to my friends to visit Portugual next time.😉🤗!
No issues at all. Arrived and it was a quick walk up the hill, maybe 15 mins and then had time for a coffee before our entrance time. Great experience!
The palace is beautiful! We felt like we were in a fairy tale. We will definitely come back to this place someday! The amazing architecture combined with the interiors enchanted us.
Really beautiful. The language to "redeem" was a little misleading as I thought we would need to swap for physical tickets at the gate but it was really easy and they scanned us in. Would appreciate a senior option but definitely easy and recommend. Went on a Monday at 10:30 on a cloudy day and there was no line to get inside the palace.

An incredible experience, from start to finish. Starting at the palace and ending in the park. You can spend a whole day here discovering all the trails that extend throughout the park, nature at its best.
View original review in Portuguese
The palace was great and the grounds lovely. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I bought the ticket for the palace and transportation and learned that it was for transportation within the park, not to the park. I did not see one bus to help get us to the palace and was told it would be a half hour walk - it was more like 10 minutes. Would have loved to have seen more of the park but just couldn't find that bus anywhere.
Palacio da Pena, very nice but the way to walk to the top is horrible. Better to park the car and take a cab or tuctuc. Quinta da Regaleira is also worth a visit. Very nice all around. For me the worst thing is the private cars that you don't know where to park them.

I recommend booking with Headout, it makes the process as easy as possible. The experience was absolutely incredible. From the Palace of Pena to the Chalet of the Countess, including the incredible trails in the middle of the park. Here we found nature at its best. It definitely deserves a long visit as there is so much to see inside the park.

Rich in culture and vast enough to explore at my leisure. However some parts of the park weren't clearly sign posted. This makes a difference when you're a bit tired. You wouldn't want to be going in the wrong direction at that point 😀

ticketing was easy. It's a beautiful place to visit inside and out. While the park was beautiful, even in early November, we struggled to get back to the 'exit' or bus stop because the signage and maps weren't really in sync so it took a lot longer than we wanted and we often came to intersections, whether on a trail or on a park 'road' and we couldn't figure out which way to go. And in finding what looked like a landmark...a fountain or pond, we couldn't find it on the map we were were referencing on our phone.
Unfortunately, being a rainy day with a lot of fog, we were not able to see the outside beauty but only the inside

Loved the entire experience at the Pena Palace. Glad we got the tickets with transport included - wouldn't haven't been easy with two kids. The gardens are an absolute beaut! Not only does Pena Palace look like its from a fairytale, the whole place has a rather magical feel to it!
2 must-see historic sites in Sintra .... Too bad the sun wasn't out... and the shuttle bus fare was excessive at €4.50 one way (there's no such thing as a return ticket); we found the Pena park badly signposted (we got a bit lost) ...

The venue was wall-to-wall people. I felt like I was in a cattle drive. You moved a few inches and then wait a few more inches and then wait. The buildings were beautiful, but it was way too crowded.
The timed tickets are stressful as it doesn't start at the gate but a 10 minute hike from the gate and everyone starts lining up half an hour early. Unfortunately we didn't know this and almost weren't let in but the security made the exception and I'm so glad he did because the palace is absolutely incredible! Best part of the whole Lisbon trip
It is a beautiful architectural site with much history. Unfortunately, there were multiple large areas of the palace being renovated and rooms we were unable to see.
The ticket sales were perfect. We bought the ticket with the bus that takes you to the entrance of the Palace. It's better with the bus, because it's a long way to go, even with the bus. Imagine without this service! I didn't fall in love with the Castle itself.

The palace was splendid and adorable. Improvements on information provided to the tickets holders are really required. For example, transfer point was not easy to identify. Buses were noticeable but it was unclear whether they were the right ones. No information was provided at the queue at the palace entrance as to what it was for and who were required to line up in the queue.
Despite the lousy weather, visiting the pena palace in Sintra was a wonderful experience. The wonderful interiors and the multitude of exhibits made me remember visiting this palace for a long time. I can in good conscience recommend anyone who wants to learn about the history of Portugal to visit this very interesting place.

We like the rooms we visited in the castle and all the interesting artifacts displayed. The Views from the terrace were amazing The booking process was easy however we did not appeciate how long it wodul take ot get to the Palace from the centre of Sintra. Luckily we got there in time but you could easier get caught out and miss your time slot.
