On CARRIS, 1 Zapping journey is valid for 1 hour on the entire regular service network, which means you can travel on any of the routes for 1 hour. Changing Operator means your ticket is no longer valid on the previous Operator, and the price and time validity comes into force on the new Operator. The price of the journey you make is deducted from the remaining balance on your card, according to the fares and usage conditions of each operator.

***** VIVA GO: is an innovative mobility payment solution that allows holders of Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante cards to pay as they go, debiting the value of the journey directly to the cardholder's bank account. To use VIVA Go, just sign up at a MULTIBANCO or ATM Express cashpoint and associate your bank account with your Lisboa VIVA/ Navegante transport card.

Accommodations Tips

Hostels and Airbnbs

The regular price for a bed in shared room in a good quality hostel is de 20.00€ at 30.00€ per night.

Airbnbs are a great option to split into groups.

Location: In addition to the surroundings of the main venue in Alcântara, it is also recommended to look for accommodation in Belém, Restelo, Ajuda, Santos and around Cais do Sodré, due to its proximity and public transport options.

But it is still valid to look for accommodation in Campo de Ourique, Arroios, Intendente, Anjos, Martim Moniz, Rossio, Baixa Chiado, Terreiro de Paço, Areeiro, Campo Pequeno and Marquês de Pombal, as they offer possibilities for direct public transport to the main venue.
