Airport Arrival Guide
Plan your arrival at Lisbon Airport (LIS), understand onward transport options and prepare for baggage collection and meeting arrangements before exploring Portugal.
Check terminal information and follow the airport's current signage.
Confirm the exact location and a contact method before travelling.
Allow time to collect bags and resolve any baggage issues.
The airport is connected to Lisbon by metro and bus. Other passenger transport options use designated pickup areas. Check current routes, operating times and pickup instructions with your chosen operator before travelling.
Check your arrival terminal, follow passport-control signs where applicable, and collect your bags before leaving the secure area. Use airport signage and information desks to locate the arrivals hall. Agree a precise meeting point with anyone meeting you; pickup arrangements can change.
Keep essential documents and valuables with you, and check your airline's baggage allowance. Report missing or damaged bags to the airline's baggage desk before leaving baggage reclaim. Consider suitcase size, mobility needs and steps when choosing onward travel.
Keep arrival logistics separate from sightseeing plans. Once settled in Lisbon, explore heritage routes in Belém or private sightseeing experiences in Sintra and Cascais. Allow time for baggage collection, accommodation check-in and any delays before planning visits.
This is an informative arrival guide, not an airport transfer booking page. Check current transport details with the airport and your chosen operator.
