Route Tips
- Ryanair sometimes flies into Lisbon Beja Airport (80km away), not Humberto Delgado. Always verify your arrival terminal – factor in €30-40 and 1.5 hours extra if flying into Beja.
- TAP Air Portugal allows free stopovers in Lisbon on the way to other destinations – great for splitting your trip at no extra cost if flying onward within Europe.
- Portugal uses the Euro (EUR). Czech Koruna (CZK) is not accepted – exchange before arrival or use widely available ATMs.
- If visiting Sintra (fairytale palaces), book tickets online 2-3 weeks ahead in summer. It’s a 40-minute train from Lisbon’s Rossio station (€2.25).
- Portuguese immigration is quick for EU citizens. Non-EU travelers should check visa requirements – Portugal is Schengen, so allows entry from other Schengen countries.
