How to use the Lisbon metro
Like any city, getting acquainted with public transport in Lisbon can be a challenge.
Rise to the occasion by following these steps to going underground.
Is there anything better than walking around Lisbon? After about six months living here, you’ll discover yes… not walking in Lisbon.
When I first moved here, I must have racked up millions of steps on my Fitbit per day, if I owned a Fitbit. Point is, I walked a lot, sometimes four hours a day gleefully because Lisboa is a walking town, with so much to see. Soon I started being late to every appointment. No bother, this will happen to even the most punctual Lisboan newbies. After one sprained ankle, I started to notice why the city is lined with shops selling foot support products and a rather uncanny number of crutches-only supply stores. Once the novelty of soaking in the sites wears off (okay, this part never goes away), and you think: “NO MORE” going up and down some of the biggest, uneven cobblestoned hills with a Mary Poppins bag on your back, it is time to learn the metro.
