There is nothing more life-affirming than walking around Lisboa and soaking up all that europey-europeness, knowing it’s now home.

While I find Lisbon a very walkable city, there’s always those pesky hills (seven main ones, to be precise). In summer it’s enough to do even the most fit person in and when it rains the beautiful calçadas (the black & white cobblestone paths) become a slippery deathtrap.

Luckily, the public transport system is decent, and your bestie is here to help you navigate it.

Uber and Bolt

The city has a wide variety of public transport: Metro trains, commuter trains, buses, trams and ferries. We even have a couple of funiculars! So there are plenty of options to get you around, even if you need to do a combo. Google maps is a reliable way to work your options. (I know people who also use Omio and Citymapper all around Europe.)
