How do we get from Lisbon airport to the city centre?

Metro (€1.50, 20 min to Baixa), taxi (€15–20, 15 min), Uber (€10–18), or group shuttle (from €100 for a van). For groups of 10+, pre-booked shuttles are most efficient.

What is the best transport for groups of 20-50 in Lisbon?

Private shuttle vans (8-15 seats, from €100/trip) or coaches (50+ seats). For short distances in flat areas, walking works. For hilly Alfama, arrange drop-off at the top and walk down. Tuk tuks work for 12-60 as both transport and activity.

Can we use public transport for team events?

The metro is efficient for groups under 15 moving between major districts. Tram 28 is iconic but too crowded for groups. The ferry across the Tagus is great for day trips to Costa da Caparica.

Getting Around Lisbon for Team Events — Transport Guide

Moving groups of 10–50 around Lisbon requires planning. Private shuttles start at €100/trip, the metro costs €1.50/ride, and tuk tuks double as transport and team building activity (€40–65/person). Lisbon airport is just 20 minutes from the city centre by metro or taxi (€15–20). The biggest challenge is the city's hills — some districts like Alfama have no car access. This guide covers every option.
