Lisbon airport arrival card

LIS → first night

01 · Before leaving the terminal

Confirm the handoff.

  • Exact accommodation entrance saved offline
  • Reception or self-check-in confirmed for your arrival time
  • Final 500 metres checked for hills, cobbles and stairs

02 · 06:30–01:00

Metro when the margin is comfortable

Aeroporto–Saldanha takes about 20 minutes. Check live service status and the final walk. Heavy luggage or a tight closing-time margin can make a door-to-door ride simpler.

03 · After 01:00

Licensed taxi or app-booked TVDE

Use the official taxi rank or the signed TVDE pickup in P2, Floor 2, arrivals level. Reject unsolicited terminal approaches.
