Airport Transportation in Lisbon
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Airport transportation in Lisbon takes you from Humberto Delgado Airport to hotels and apartments in Baixa, Alfama, Chiado, Belém and Parque das Nações, and beyond the city to Sintra and Cascais.
Lisbon Airport Transfers
Our Lisbon airport transfers start in the Terminal 1 arrivals hall, where every flight arrives, including those of airlines that depart from Terminal 2. Your driver tracks your flight and waits with a sign showing your name.
You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Lisbon airport transfer goes door to door, to a hotel in Baixa or Chiado, an apartment in Alfama, Gare do Oriente station, or a stay in Sintra or Cascais.
Lisbon Airport Shuttle
Our Lisbon airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and strollers, so it suits families, groups and travelers heading on to Sintra or Cascais.
Landing at Lisbon Airport
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) sits inside the city, in the Olivais area northeast of the historic center, and is still often called Portela. It is operated by ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, part of VINCI Airports, and is the hub of TAP Air Portugal.
There are two terminals, but every flight arrives at Terminal 1; Terminal 2 is used only for departures by some low-cost airlines and is linked to Terminal 1 by a free shuttle bus. If you arrive from outside the Schengen Area, you pass passport control before baggage claim; flights from Schengen countries skip it. You then collect your bags, pass customs and walk out into the Terminal 1 arrivals hall.
Lisbon is on Western European Time (UTC+0) and moves to UTC+1 from late March to late October.
Entry rules
Portugal is in the Schengen Area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check passport validity and visa rules for your nationality before you travel.
Departures from Terminal 2
Ryanair, Wizz Air and Transavia depart from Terminal 2, and you cannot walk between the two terminals. Tell us your airline when you book a ride back, so we drop you at the right one.
One hour behind central Europe
Lisbon is on Western European Time, one hour behind most of continental Europe, so check the times on any connecting tickets.
Decline ride offers inside the hall
Take taxis only from the official rank in front of arrivals and ignore people offering rides inside the hall; your pre-booked driver waits with your name sign.
