Lisbon PortugalCruise Port Guide

Upcoming cruises to Lisbon

Your arrival in Lisbon is a scenic 15 km journey up the Tagus River. From the water, you'll pass iconic landmarks like the Belem Tower, built in 1520 to defend the city, the 1960 Monument to the Discoveries honoring Portuguese explorers, and the Cristo Rei statue, reminiscent of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer. As you approach, the massive suspension bridge over the Tagus, built by the same company, strikingly resembles San Francisco's Golden Gate.

Lisbon's port has four main cruise terminals: Alcântara (TPA), Rocha Conde de Óbidos (TPR), Jardim do Tabaco (JTAB), and Santa Apolónia (TPSA and TPSAJ). JTAB and Santa Apolónia are often referred to as the (New) Lisbon Cruise Terminal and are the most frequently used. Upon disembarking, look for the staffed tourist desk at the terminal for free maps, tickets, and local advice. The city itself is very hilly with many cobblestone sidewalks, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues or wheelchairs. The local language is Portuguese.

Getting Around from the Port

Lisbon offers various efficient and affordable transport options directly from the cruise terminals.

  • Hop-on Hop-off Bus: This is often the best way to cover major sights in a limited time. Buses stop directly outside all four terminals: the Red line serves Alcântara and Rocha Conde de Óbidos, while the Blue line serves Santa Apolónia. A ticket for three tours (General city, Expo site, Old town) typically costs around €20. Note that both Red and Blue tours may use red buses, so check the sign.
  • Public Transport:
    • Bus 728: This route stops at all cruise terminals and is a direct option to Praça do Comércio, the waterfront center, or Parque das Nações, home to the Oceanarium, telecabins, and a casino. Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver.
    • Metro: Lisbon's underground system is modern, efficient, and fast for getting around the city.
    • Trams: The charming old wooden trams offer a unique experience. Tram 15E connects the city center to Belém, while Tram 28 traverses picturesque areas like Alfama. These routes can get very busy, especially when a large cruise ship is in port, so consider riding early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
    • 24-Hour Pass: For €6.00, you can purchase an unlimited 24-hour pass valid on all metro, tram, and bus services. These are available at metro stations but not on trams.
    • Oriente Station: Adjacent to a modern shopping center, Oriente Station has ticket machines in multiple languages and staffed offices for public transport tickets.
  • Taxis: Taxis are readily available and relatively inexpensive throughout Lisbon.
  • Car Rental: While not recommended for navigating the city due to traffic and parking, a rental car can be useful if you plan to venture beyond Lisbon to places like Queluz Palace, Sintra, or the coastal resorts of Cascais, Estoril, and Guincho.
  • Trains:
    • To Sintra: Trains depart from Rossio Station (among others) for Sintra, a 40-minute journey, running every 30 minutes. Given the limited time in port, a cruise excursion might be a more convenient option.
    • To Cascais and Estoril: Trains to these coastal towns depart from Alcantara Mar (Av. da Índia) and take approximately 30 minutes.

Attractions and Activities

With 8-10 hours in port, Lisbon and its surroundings offer a rich variety of experiences:

  • Day Trip to Sintra: Known for its magnificent palaces and elegant town, Sintra is a 40-minute train ride from Rossio station (trains run every 30 minutes). Due to the time constraints, a guided cruise excursion might be a more efficient way to visit.
  • Visit Cascais and Estoril: These charming coastal resorts are a 30-minute train journey from Alcantara Mar (Av. da Índia).
  • Experience Fado: While a full Fado show might be difficult with limited time, immerse yourself in Lisbon's unique and soulful traditional song, a core part of Portuguese popular culture.
  • Discover Parque das Nações: Accessible via Bus 728 or the Blue Hop-on Hop-off tour, this modern area features the Oceanarium, telecabins, and a casino, built on the site of the 1998 Expo.
