Pay attention where the driver is taking you, most drivers  don’t know the city and follow blindly the app. If you are in Lisbon, DO NOT cross the bridge for some reason ubers tend to drive to the other side. DO NOT leave at Alcântara dock, for some reason ubers tend to drop you at Alcântara dock, which is the neighbouring dock and is 15 min away by walk, make them go all the way to the drop off point.

Public transportation is the cheapest way. Depending where you are, the route can take many forms.

From city centre or east side usually ends up going to Cais do Sodré (usually by green line metro/subway) and from there you have plenty of options:

  • TRAIN (Cascais Line) and 2 stops later exit on Alcântara-Mar station, go for the south/riverside exit. At arrival to the docks, head west towards the bridge, meeting point will be close to the last building and just under the bridge. This option is traffic free
  • BUS 728 and 5 stops later, exit on Alcântara-Mar stop, go under the train line to the south/riverside. At arrival to the docks, head west towards the bridge, meeting point will be close to the last building and just under the bridge. BE AWARE OF THE TRAFFIC
  • SHARED Bikes and scooters are the best option for door to door, but you need basic navigation skills. Follow the bike road and when you arrive to under the bridge you’ll find a large parking zone for these scooters and ebikes. If you end up with the bridge on your back, you’re in the wrong way!

From west side, the train (Cascais Line) usually is the best way. Exit on Alcântara-Mar station, go for the south exit. At arrival to the docks, head west towards the bridge, meeting point will be close to the last building and just under the bridge.
