However, Lisbon is an extremely popular tourist destination, so we suggest considering booking your accommodation well in advance.
How to Reach IST Airport
From Lisbon Airport (Humberto Delegado Airport) to IST Alameda campus is an approximate 10-minute drive. Lisbon Airport is very close to the city centre as it is located just 7km from the city centre, and there are different transport alternatives. You can use the Metro, the Aerobus, the city bus or a taxi. If you choose the Metro to go from the airport straight to IST, you take the red line (linha vermelha) and you should exit at Alameda or Saldanha stations. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes and costs €1,50 plus €0,50 for the “Viva Viagem” rechargeable card.
Taxi or similar services
Taxis are more flexible and allow you to arrive at IST from any point in the city, but of course, the tariff also increases according to the distance, traffic and time of day. The trip from the Airport to IST should cost around 10 euros. It is possible to buy “taxi vouchers” at the airport from €20 to €25.
