This guide covers who really flies it, what a return actually costs, and when to book for the lowest price on the roughly three-and-three-quarter-hour hop to Portugal’s capital.

Fares from Berlin to Lisbon (EUR)
Lisbon is a year-round city break, but fares still rise in the warm, busy summer and around the Christmas and New Year holidays, and drop in the quieter winter and shoulder months. The figures below are typical economy return fares in euros — the lowest come from the budget carriers well ahead of travel, while last-minute and peak-summer seats sit at the top of the range.
| Month | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | low |
| February | — | low |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium (Easter) |
| May | — | medium-high |
| June | — | high |
| July | — | very high |
| August | — | very high |
| September | — | high |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | low |
| December | — | high (holidays) |
Checked against every return fare on sale as we write, the low-cost fares sit in a tight band at €94–€109 return, median €108 — so a fare just over €100 is the going rate rather than a find, and under about €100 is a genuinely good one. There is nothing below the mid-nineties to hold out for. Those are hand-baggage fares on Eurowings and Ryanair; TAP runs €214–€363 and includes more, so price a low-cost fare plus a bag against TAP’s headline number before deciding.
Airlines on this route
All three carriers fly non-stop, so there’s rarely any need to connect:
- TAP Air Portugal — the flag carrier and the frequency leader, with roughly 17 flights a week; a full-service fare that usually includes a bag on the higher branded fares.
- Ryanair — several flights a week at the lowest headline fares; expect to pay extra for bags and seat selection, so compare the all-in price.
- Eurowings — a few flights a week, a middle-ground option between full-service and budget.
Because TAP and the budget carriers compete on the same route, watching for a sale usually beats paying the standard fare. Note that easyJet dropped this route in 2025 and no longer flies Berlin–Lisbon.
When to book & how to save
- Book 4–10 weeks ahead for short-haul; budget fares are cheapest early and rise as seats fill, especially for summer weekends.
- Travel in the shoulder or winter (November–March) for the lowest fares — Lisbon stays mild and far less crowded than in high summer.
- Fly midweek: Tuesday to Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday-to-Sunday city-break timing.
- Mind the bags: Ryanair’s cheapest fare is cabin-bag only — add a checked bag and it can cost more than a TAP fare that already includes one.
- Set a price alert: this route sees regular sales, and a good return often appears a few weeks out rather than at the last minute.
Arriving in Lisbon
All flights land at Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), unusually close to the city at about 7 km north of the centre. The Metro (red line) runs straight from the terminal into town for around €1.80 plus a reusable card, taking about 20–30 minutes to the centre. A metered taxi or app-based ride costs roughly €12–€20 to the historic districts and takes 15–25 minutes outside rush hour. The Aerobus and city buses are cheaper alternatives if you have time.
