inDrive vs Lisbon Metro

For moving around within the cities, use the ride sharing app InDrive.

InDrive, on the other hand, works like magic.

I’d say that it is totally possible to use InDrive to get a taxi to the hotel, however, since the airport has a huge and chaotic parking lot, we opted for a transfer.

Do not take taxis directly from the street. Always use Uber or InDrive. They work perfectly and are extremely cheap.

if you need a taxi here you can use the app InDrive.

You don't need to know Portuguese to use the Lisbon Metro. It's very easy to use and everything is signed in English, plus most Portuguese people speak very good English.

Metro shouldn't be too hard without knowing portugese. All you have to do is pay attention to the station "Alameda" where you'd transfer to the green line and then ride that in the direction of Cais de Sodre which is the last station on the green line so all the signs will have that to point out which platform you need to get to.

From Lisbon airport, the easiest way is the metro. Everything is signposted, the machines are in English, and no one speaks to you. One change, you get off near the river, and you walk to Cais do Sodré. It's flat, straightforward, and stress-free.

I don't speak any Portuguese and had no problem with the Lisbon metro. It's one connection, not too difficult.

You don't need to know Portuguese to ride the metro or trains in Lisbon. It's very easy to get between the airport and that train station. You just have to make one switch. Use google maps for exact directions.
