Q: How do I get from Lisbon airport to Saldanha?

Metro, red line: €1.92 for one traveler, 20 min. It leaves you at Saldanha, and the rest of the network from there. The metro from the airport reaches Saldanha in about 20 minutes, the sensible place to change: the yellow line runs south to Marquês de Pombal and Rossio, north to Campo Grande. For Baixa and the river, stay on the red line to Alameda and change to green.

Tap a contactless bank card: EUR 1.92, valid across the network — the cheapest option if you arrive with nothing. A navegante occasional card (EUR 0.50) plus a single ticket (EUR 1.90) costs EUR 2.40 instead. Zapping is cheapest per journey at EUR 1.72, but needs the card and a EUR 3 minimum top-up.

Luggage. No stated limit. Note that Carris caps luggage on city buses at 55x40x20 cm; the metro does not.

Hours. The whole network runs 06:30 to 01:00 every day including weekends and public holidays, the closing time being when the last train leaves each line's terminus. There is no extended night service on the red line, so a landing after 01:00 has no metro.
