Lisbon Airport transfers
Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is about 7 km north-east of central Lisbon. It handled about 36 million passengers in 2025. All arrivals use Terminal 1. Terminal 2 is for low-cost departures only and is linked by a free shuttle bus. A new airport is planned at Alcochete, but it is not expected to open fully until around 2034, so all flights still use this airport for now.

Tips
The Aerobus links the airport with Cais do Sodré and Sete Rios. Luggage costs about €1.60 extra in a taxi. Ride-hailing apps also operate at the airport. If you land late at night, a pre-booked transfer is the calmest option, as the driver tracks your flight and waits for you in the arrivals hall. Always ask the taxi driver for a receipt.
