Vermelha · Metropolitano de LisboaMetro, red line

Runs

06:30–01:00

Journey

20 min

The metro does not sell tickets on board and takes no cash from a driver. Buy at the machines in the station, or tap a contactless bank card at the gate.

A single Carris/Metro ticket is valid for one journey within an hour of first validation and does not allow two consecutive entries to the metro. One card cannot carry two people through the gate.

The last train leaves at 01:00 and the first at 06:30. A landing in that gap has no metro. Carris runs night bus 208 through the airport but does not publish its times at this stop, so there is no scheduled alternative to point to.

The airport tells arriving passengers they must buy the navegante card. For one person going one way, tapping a bank card is simpler and 48 cents cheaper.

CP · Metropolitano de Lisboa and CPMetro and CP train to Sintra

From

Aeroporto station, inside the arrivals building

To

Sintra, changing from the red line to the green line at Alameda, then from the metro to CP's own trains at Rossio

Luggage

No stated limit on either the metro or CP's trains.

Runs

06:30–22:30

Journey

62–80 min

Two separate tickets on the same Navegante card: tap through the metro gates, then buy or validate CP's own ticket again at Rossio.

The fastest CP trains take 40 minutes; roughly every other scheduled departure takes 44 to 54 minutes instead, with a change of its own partway — check which kind a departure is before you plan around it.

Overnight, CP's own trains stop entirely from about 01:01 to 05:41; nothing here bridges that gap.
