Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is about 7 km northeast of the historic center, inside the city limits. The Metro red line reaches Saldanha in about 20 minutes, and from there you can change for Baixa and Chiado. A taxi or car is usually the quickest way when traffic is light.

Yes. The airport sits in the Olivais area of Lisbon, surrounded by city neighborhoods, about 7 km from the historic center. It is still often called Portela, after the area next to it. The Metro, Carris buses and taxis all serve it directly.

Lisbon airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is the main building and handles all arriving flights and most departures. Terminal 2 is a smaller, departures-only terminal used by several low-cost airlines. A free shuttle bus runs between the two terminals roughly every 10 minutes; you cannot walk between them.

TAP Air Portugal, easyJet and all the large network airlines use Terminal 1. Several low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair, Wizz Air and Transavia, depart from Terminal 2. Every flight arrives at Terminal 1, whichever terminal it leaves from. Check your boarding pass or the airline's website before departure, as assignments can change.

Aeroporto station, the end of the Metro red line, is at the southern end of the Terminal 1 arrivals area. Trains run every few minutes to Oriente, Alameda, Saldanha and São Sebastião, reaching Saldanha in about 20 minutes. For Baixa and Chiado, change to the green line at Alameda or the blue line at São Sebastião.

The official taxi rank is in front of the Terminal 1 arrivals hall. Taxis in Lisbon run on a meter, and the ride to the center is short. Some visitors report drivers overcharging or quoting a set fare, so ask for the meter or agree on the fare before you leave the rank.

Yes. Uber and Bolt both operate in Lisbon, and pickups at the airport are in the short-stay car park P2, just north of the Terminal 1 arrivals building. At busy times demand is high and rides may take a while to match, so the taxi rank can be quicker when queues are long.

Yes. Carris city buses stop at the arrivals area and run toward Marquês de Pombal and Amoreiras, with night routes to Baixa, Cais do Sodré and Gare do Oriente. Buses stop often and have little luggage space, so the Metro is usually faster. The former Aerobus express service ended in 2023.

Portugal is in the Schengen area and has no separate arrival form. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Passengers on flights from other Schengen countries do not pass passport control at Lisbon.

Both are outside Lisbon. For Sintra, take the Metro red line to Oriente and board a Sintra line train. For Cascais, ride the Metro to Cais do Sodré, changing lines on the way, and take the Cascais line train along the coast. A taxi or pre-booked car goes there directly without changes.

Lisbon is on Western European Time, UTC+0, and moves to UTC+1 for daylight saving time from late March to late October, one hour behind most of continental Europe. The currency is the euro. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are mild and wetter than the rest of the year.

The airport is run by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, part of VINCI Airports under a concession that runs to 2062. It handled about 36.1 million passengers in 2025, up from about 35.1 million in 2024, making it the busiest airport in Portugal. It is the main hub of TAP Air Portugal.
