For the guests who want to explore Lisbon on their own schedule, this hop-on / hop-off bus city sightseeing cruise shore excursion is a great option! Your ticket is good for 1 day!
The dedicated Lisbon sightseeing bus will circle the city with numerous stops at all the must-see locations. Stay on the whole loop for a city overview or get off at any/all of the stops for an in-depth exploration. The choice is yours! As the bus moves from stop to stop, you can pick and choose which stops to get off at and explore. Tailor-make the day the way you want it! Along the way, you will learn some history of the city Lisbon through an individual audio system with earphones, offered in several languages including English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, and Dutch. You may book up to 3 months prior to your excursion date.
Upon boarding, you will receive a map and guide from either your driver or hostess. The map (click here for a non-commercial copy of this Lisbon Sightseeing Excursion Map) includes all the stops, sites you can see at them as well as discounts for different establishments in the city. Your driver or hostess, while not a guide, can answer many general questions you might have.
There are three routes, and it takes approximately 60 - 90 minutes (per route) to do the entire loop without getting off, from the time you board the bus. Buses run every 30 minutes year-round.
