In Lisbon, the best option if you use public transport frequently is to buy the monthly transportation card (called Navegante card), which you can get as follows:
First you have to print and fill out the form for the Navegante card. You can get the form in this link .
You will need a Form of Identification (National Citizen card if you are from the EU, or passport), an ID photo and a Travel Card Sub23 Declaration (you can find this on Fenix following these steps:
myFenix » Services » Requisitions and under requisition type search for Travel Card Sub23 Declaration.
When creating this declaration, you only have to fill out the “Formulário de Requerimento” and check the box of the current year and the box that says “Sem Bolsa”. After this you submit the requirement and wait until it is delivered. It is really important you make sure your data is correctly filled on Fenix, with emphasis on your Portuguese address and postal code).
After acquiring all the required documentation you can hand it in in any of the following Metro Stations: Marquês de Pombal; Colégio Militar/Luz; Jardim Zoológico; Campo Grande; Rossio; Baixa-Chiado; Cais do Sodré; Oriente; Aeroporto.
You can also hand it in on the following train lines: Cascais and Sintra/Azambuja.
You will pay 3,5 euros for the card itself and it will take 10 working days to be ready. If you need the card urgently, you have the option to pay 6 euros and it will arrive in 1 working day. After this period, you will have to go back to the station to receive the card.
When you have your Navegante card, you have several charging options:
