“Probably the best hop on / hop off bus tour we've experienced on our trip. We booked hop on / hop off bus tours in 9 cities over the past 5 weeks and this was by far the best. Buses are spotless and in excellent running order - others, not so clean and a bit sketchy as far as performance and maintenance. This bus tour definitely worth it.”
Choose a Yellow Boat ticket or the combo with 48-hour access to two hop-on hop-off bus routes, the boat, and Carris public trams. The routes link Belém’s monuments with modern Lisbon and the Oceanarium. Audio guides are included, but museum entry is not.

“This is an excellent idea, a great way to see so many different sites. You can get off at any site that interests you spend whatever time you want then hop back on and go to another site. Definitely worth the money. The tour we did included two bus tours, a tram tour and a boat tour. As well, it would’ve given access to the funicular’s, but they were closed due to the tragedy that recently happened there.”
