Viva Viagem Card

The standard rechargeable transport card used by locals and visitors for metro, buses, trams, and funiculars. The card costs €0.50 (one-time, reusable) and can be loaded with individual journeys (€1.65 each), 24-hour passes (€6.80), or Zapping credit. Zapping allows pay-as-you-go with discounted fares. Must be validated each journey. Can be shared if loaded with individual tickets, but not with day passes. Available at metro stations from machines or ticket windows. Essential for any Lisbon visit.

Carris/Metro Day Pass

Unlimited rides on Lisbon's metro, trams, buses, and elevators for 24 hours from first validation. Costs €6.80 when loaded onto a Viva Viagem card. Good value if taking 4+ journeys per day. No monument entries included (unlike Lisboa Card). Simple option for transport-only needs. Can purchase additional consecutive days. Validated simply by tapping card on readers when boarding.

Sintra-Cascais Day Pass

Unlimited travel on the Sintra-Cascais train line connecting Lisbon to both destinations, plus Sintra's local buses (including the 434 bus to palaces). Costs approximately €16 for 24 hours. Essential for Sintra day trips as the hop-on-hop-off bus 434 alone costs €7. Includes journey from Lisbon to Sintra/Cascais and all local transport in Sintra. Purchase at train stations. Note: Does NOT include palace entries, which must be booked separately.
