Lisbon features an extensive public transport network, comprising both underground and surface means of getting around.
Today there is an extensive network of buses, trams and funiculars in Lisbon, and they are all worth a ride on, especially the vintage trams, and the funiculars. They are an attraction in themselves.

Getting around by taxi in Lisbon is definitely a reliable option. There are plenty of taxi companies and taxi ranks throughout the city, not to mention taxis can also count as one of the most efficient means of airport transfer. As a rule, taxi rides are fairly inexpensive, and it is customary that tips be about 10 to 20% of the total fare. Drivers are also allowed to charge up to 50% for extra luggage, depending on the luggage weight.
The Lisbon Metro is the fastest way to get around the city and a good option if you’re traveling long distances. It is considered to be one of the best-kept and cleanest metros in Europe. Traveling by metro is generally the fasted way to get from one corner of Lisbon to another. The metro stations are signposted by large blue M signs.
Lisbon is situated on the Tejo River, and, by force of its geographical location, the two parts of the city need to be connected by one means or another. Before the construction of the bridges across the river, the city used to be connected by ferries exclusively. At present, this historical means of transport is still available, providing, at the same time, a great tourist experience for people who want to discover Lisbon other than by land.
