Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the bus stop — no printing needed.

Where exactly do I board the bus?

All three routes start at Marquês de Pombal Square. You can also board at any designated stop along the route once you're on your way.

Can my children travel for free?

Children under 4 travel free but are not entitled to a reserved seat. Children aged 4–12 require a ticket and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

How often do the buses run?

Bus frequency and departure times can vary by route and season.

Can I use the ticket across all three routes?

Yes. A single 24-hour ticket gives you unlimited hops across the Green, Blue, and Red routes for the duration of your chosen timeframe.

What happens if it rains?

The upper deck is open-top, so you may prefer the covered lower deck in wet weather. The tour operates in most weather conditions — check City Sightseeing's site for any service disruptions.
