How to Get There

 

ADDRESS: Avenida Rovisco Pais, 1

                   1049-001 Lisboa

 

Airport

From Lisbon Airport (Portela) to IST is a 10 minutes' drive. Lisbon Airport is very close to the city centre and there are different alternatives to get there, namely by Metro, Aerobus (Carris) or by taxi.

 

 

Taxi

Taxis allows you to arrive at IST from any point in the city, but of course the tariff also increases according to the distance, traffic and day time.

An airport-IST trip is around 10 euros. It is possible to buy "taxi vouchers" at the airport from €20 to €25.

 

Bus

The whole city of Lisbon is provided with an urban transport network with convenient timetables and frequent buses. The following buses stop near IST:

Av. Rovisco Pais/Av. António José de Almeida (side entrances): 720, 742, 767.

Alameda: 708 (bike bus), 717, 718, 720, 735, 767; night bus: 206, 208.

Metro (Underground)
