    Pay attention where the driver is taking you, most drivers  don’t know the city and follow blindly the app. DO NOT go to 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 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 towards the meeting point location. 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 towards the meeting point location. 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 all the way to the the second dock, that is just under the bridge. 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.

    If you’re driving a car, you have free car parking, 12 minute walk away from the meeting point here. Or at 1 minute walk away paid car parking, here.
