Getting to and from the airport
The trip from Aeroporto da
Portela to the city center is a pleasant and short one, since the
airport is located very close to the city. It is actually possible to
be at your hotel less than 30 minutes after you’ve picked up your
luggage.
The taxis are lined up outside the airport and the trip
into town shouldn’t cost you more than €10 – depending on how far
you’re going of course. Ask for a receipt, just to be on the safe side.
The
bus lines 44, 45 and 83 are also waiting to bring travelers into the
city, and if you’re not carrying too much luggage, it’s the cheapest
way to get to the center. But if you brought big suitcases and land any
time between 7.45am and 8.45pm, jump on the airport shuttle, AeroBus
91, that will take you to the city for around 3 Euros. You buy the
ticket from the driver.
Travelers for Cascais and Estoril should be aware that there is an hourly shuttle service from 7am to 10pm.
