eSIM for Lisbon
🇵🇹 Portugal, covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
Where the signal goes
Good throughout, including the metro. The hills matter more than the network: you'll lose a fix briefly in the steep alleys of Alfama where the sky narrows to a strip.
Getting around
Trams and funiculars for the hills, metro for distance. Tram 28 is a tourist ride, not transport.
Neighbourhoods
Alfama
The oldest quarter, and the one that survived the 1755 earthquake.
Príncipe Real
Up the hill, with the antique shops and better restaurants.
Cais do Sodré
Riverside, and the nightlife has taken over the old red-light street.
What's on
Festas de Lisboa
June
Alfama and Graça
Sardines grilled in the street and everyone out until dawn.
