2.Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 4,043 reviews · 1 - 3 days · from $33

See Lisbon at your own pace on 24, 48, or 72-hour hop-on hop-off buses covering Belém, Alfama, Parque das Nações, Cascais, and modern districts. You get recorded commentary in 16 languages, onboard Wi-Fi, a digital walking tour, and attraction discounts. Choose your ticket carefully, since some routes need more than one day.

“Definitely worth the money but don't purchase 5 routes for the 24hr ticket as they only go between 9.30am and between 4-5pm so you won't have time for all routes (one of which is a day trip). The audio on the green route kept repeating which was a little annoying. The "guide" was a recording. No live guide there.”
