How do I get from Lisbon Airport to the city centre?

The simplest way to get from Lisbon Airport to the city centre is a pre-booked private transfer. Your driver tracks your flight, waits inside the Terminal 1 arrivals hall with a name sign and drives you to the door of your accommodation, 7–9 km away, in 20–30 minutes. It costs from €29 per vehicle for up to four people, luggage included, and the price is agreed before you travel.

Before you fly

Book and get your voucher

Add your flight number, address and luggage. The price you see is the price you pay.

When you land

Meet your driver in arrivals

After baggage reclaim, look for your name on a sign. Your driver helps with the bags.

On the road

Straight to your door

No shared ride and no stops, even if your hotel is up a narrow street in Alfama.

What to expect when you land at Lisbon Airport

Lisbon Airport has two terminals, but every flight arrives at Terminal 1; Terminal 2 handles departures only. How long it takes to reach the arrivals hall depends mostly on your passport:

Step What happens Typical time
Leaving the aircraft Walk from the gate, or an apron shuttle from remote stands 5–15 min
Border control (EU and Schengen flights) No passport check for flights from Schengen countries —
Border control (UK, US, Canada, Australia and other non-EU) Passport check and, on first entry, registration in the EU Entry/Exit System (photo and fingerprints) 15–60 min, longer in summer peaks
Baggage reclaim Belts in the Terminal 1 arrivals area 10–25 min

Your waiting time starts when you land

We track your flight in real time. The 60 minutes of free waiting are counted from the actual landing, so a slow border queue or a late bag does not cost you anything extra.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
