What you need to know when in Lisbon
Upon arrival:
At the airport you can catch the AeroBus line 2 (between 7 am and 11 pm): you should stop at Av José Malhoa.
UNDERGROUND (Metro) from the airport choose the red line and leave at the final stop: S. SEBASTIÃO, this is the closest Metro (Underground) station. A Metro ticket costs 1,65 euros, you may consider buying a one day ticket (€ 6,60) if you arrive early and want to travel more on that day. You can also buy the top up card [NAVEGANTE card] and top it up with the amount you want, it can also be used at buses, trams and funiculars in all Lisbon.
The TAXI fare from the airport to Campolide should not cost more than 25 euros. Sometimes, it is quicker to go to departures (right next to arrivals) to get a taxi. If you want to avoid (possible) long queues: just turn right as you come out into the main arrivals hall, keep going, go up the escalator, turn slightly left and go outside; now you are outside departures, and there there is no queue to get a taxi. Once in the city, if you are using the public bus to travel around Lisbon, buy a pass (NAVEGANTE card) and top it up at any underground (METRO) station or selected points, as tickets purchased inside the bus are more expensive.
