How to get the NAVEGANTE!

Hey there! If you’ve just landed in sunny Lisbon and are already dreaming about all the cool spots you’ll be exploring, let’s talk about something super important: the NAVEGANTE card. It’s your golden ticket to getting around the city like a local. Ready to dive in? Here we will explain you on how to make the NAVEGANTE CARD without problems.


WHAT IS ?

The NAVEGANTE card is your best buddy for getting around Lisbon, is a special travel pass used for moving in the city and its metropolitan area.

It is a reusable card that gives you access to various public transport services like: metro, bus, train, trams and ferries! The NAVEGANTE simplifies your travel experience by allowing unlimited rides within the zones it covers.


TWO OPTIONS:


  • €40 Pass: This one’s called the NAVEGANTE METRO e BUS and it covers you for every public transportation in the city and up to the end of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. If you plan on exploring beyond central Lisbon, maybe taking day trips or if you’re living a bit outside the main city area. It’s your ticket to a bit more freedom!


example of the area covered by the €40 card:

  • €30 Pass: This is the NAVEGANTE MUNICIPAL and it’s a bit of a lighter version. It only covers the metro, buses, and trams within Lisbon itself and doesn’t extend to the wider metropolitan area. Perfect if you’re mostly staying in central Lisbon and don’t need to venture too far and t’s a bit cheaper and will still cover all your local travels!
