It’s built to move at your pace—use the app to track vehicles, ride as much as you like across five bus lines and a boat line, and slot in self‑guided walking tours and partner discounts as you go.

THE SITES

From MAAT to Jerónimos: Key Lisbon Landmarks

The package routes include iconic stops—MAAT and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos among others—so you can move between modern museum architecture, Belem’s monuments and the leafy viewpoints that define Lisbon’s skyline.

THE AQUARIUM

Skip‑the‑Line Access to the Oceanário

The combined ticket includes direct, skip‑the‑line entry to the Oceanário so you can spend more time inside Europe’s large oceanarium and less time waiting outside.

THE RIVER

See Lisbon from the Tejo: Boat Line Included

A hop‑on hop‑off boat line is part of the pack, offering two‑hour river trips that reveal the city’s riverside geometry and connect to shore‑side stops on your schedule.

What the day feels like

What the two days feel like

Start at the central hub, pick a color line and ride: each line is a self‑contained loop that lasts between 1h15 and 2h, and the pass lets you jump on and off across five bus lines plus the boat. Slot in the two self‑guided walking tours—Alfama’s alleys or Chiado’s squares—use the Cityrama app to locate the next vehicle, and reserve a relaxed visit to the Oceanário with skip‑the‑line entry when you choose.
