The BEST EVER grilled chicken. Fabulous frango assado (with or without piri piri). So popular that lines can be long (but quick) over the weekend. If you are tired from a day sightseeing grab a frango assado and bring it home with you

Consejos para la ciudad

Formas de ahorrar

Get a Lisboa Viva Card

and use the public transportation
Cómo moverse

Always compare the prices and times in the ride-hailing app

Uber and Bolt tend to be good options - just compare prices as well as waiting times
Cómo moverse

From the airport

The airport is 5 minutes away. Price and time-wise the best solution is to use a ride-hailing app such as Uber or Bolt. Will cost you between 4 and 10 euros depending on the time of the day for up to 3 people. From the arrivals area turn to your right, use the escalator/or elevator and go to the departure area (one floor above the arrivals). Exit the building and go towards car park 1 (Parque 1) as it is there that the Uber/Bolt cars pick up their clients.
Cómo moverse

To the airport

All passengers arrive in Terminal 1 but some airlines (mainly discount airlines like Ryanair, Easyjet, Norwegian) fly out from Terminal 2. Please check your ticket before going to the airport and calling a car
