Itinerary

See Lisbon at your own pace, choosing the sights and activities that interest you most. Make your way to the district of Belém, where historic monuments celebrate the Portuguese age of discovery, or take in the winding streets of Alfama, Mouraria, and Castelo. Navigate the Tagus River, then take in the modern architecture in the Parque das Nações, in Oriente.

Open-top bus routes include the Belém Lisbon bus tour from the historic center to Belém and the Modern Lisbon tour in which you can explore de Oriente and modern side of the city. Learn about the sights you pass with a personal audio guide.

Travel through time aboard one of Lisbon's oldest means of transport, a vintage tramcar, discover the very first quarters of the city, and unveil the 7 Hills from Alfama to Bairro Alto, where Fado also found its inspiration. When you’re ready to explore the city from the water, head to the Tagus River for a boat tour that passes St. George's Castle, the Sé Cathedral, the April 25th Bridge, Belém Tower and the Monument of the Discoveries.

You can experience the whole city with a 96-hour ticket that gives you the flexibility of doing all the tours at your own pace; but if you come for a short break and don’t want to miss a thing, the 72-hour ticket will offer you the same benefits, according to your availability to enjoy Lisbon.

Not really hop on hop off

Gail_O, May 2026

We were disappointed at how much time we had to wait between buses. This is really for a one time experience, not hop on hop off. Having the tram and river cruise included is nice.

Good experience and good value!

patricia_m, May 2026

Got 72 hour ticket. Good value as includes yellow bus, red tram tour, boat ride and can also use ticket on yellow trams over 3 days. Nice way to see city when too hot to walk! Staff very helpful and gave suggestions where to get off bus with our time limit etc

Visiting Lisbon via a cruise destination

Michel_L, May 2026

Your product was referred to me by my best friend. He had visited your marvellous city years ago and suggested we take this service to benefit a one day passage in Lisbon! A marvellous idea and very successful!

Response from Host, May 2026

Hop On Hop Off Lisbon

MaryEllen_L, May 2026

Fantastic way to see the city and get acclimated. Only issue we had was finding the boat. We road multiple days and made many stops. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Response from Host, May 2026

Great all in one pass

Sandra_W, May 2026

It’s a great all in one ticket that covered all parts of the city, a tram tour and a boat tour. Really enjoying it. We are now using it for transportation for another day.

Response from Host, May 2026

I won't use them again

James_W, Mar 2026

I took the hop-on hop-off bus, but it took over 40 minutes for the bus to return to my pickup location. Unable to wait any longer, I took a taxi back to the starting point. In the end, I only used the service two of the three days I paid for.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Yellow for the win!

Marshawn_W, Feb 2026

Great tour and great way to see Lisbon and beyond. Not about of people on the bus so I was able to get prime top seating every time

Response from Host, Feb 2026

HO-HO - the way to see a new city

Diana_B, Dec 2025

Best way to a city you do not know, especially if there is a language barrier. Love the HO-HO experience in any city I have not visited previously - even cities I have been to before.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

We got a 3 day yellow on...

pat_w, Nov 2025

We got a 3 day yellow on off bus ticket for Lisbon portugal. We used it for 2 days, did 2 different tours and the trolley ride. Wanted to dk the boat but missed the day they were going(check what days the boat runs for your trip). Had a great time, saw much more than would have been possible otherwise. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Never again do a Hop On

Stephen_L, Nov 2025

This confirmed my past experiences with Hop On Hop Off- it’s a great concept, but in practice it doesn’t deliver. Too much time wasted is waiting for the next ride. If you stay on the loop without getting off you can get an overview of the city- but if you get off be prepared to wait- depending on traffic, amount of passengers etc. I think it’s far better to take public transportation, train, buses or uber/taxis. I paid over $50 for one stop on the HOHO and ended up taking a taxi back. Lesson learned. Never again.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hop on hop off Lisbon no problems

Teresa_L, Nov 2025

Check for boat times only 3 times a day . Otherwise very good. Buses were clean . Expect a half hour wait if you get on elsewhere and get back to stop 1 before you proceed.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Definitely great value, great idea

Shelley_R, Sep 2025

This is an excellent idea, a great way to see so many different sites. You can get off at any site that interests you spend whatever time you want then hop back on and go to another site. Definitely worth the money. The tour we did included two bus tours, a tram tour and a boat tour. As well, it would’ve given access to the funicular’s, but they were closed due to the tragedy that recently happened there.

Good introduction to Lisbon

Frank_A, Sep 2025

Easy on -off. Courteous drivers. Very good orientation of the city. We always do the bus on our first day

Response from Host, Sep 2025

This is always how I live...

Melissa_B, Aug 2025

This is always how I live to start my trips to new cities! Such a great way to get a big picture of the city and select when and where you want to spend a little more time.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Great Tour

Terry_P, Jul 2025

Great tour. Audio in different languages is a plus! Hill Tram ride was a great experience. A good way to see all of the sights!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Wouldn’t purchase again

Sandy_V, Jul 2025

I wouldn’t purchase again. Uber and Bolt are inexpensive ways to get around Lisbon. Waiting on the yellow bus is unnecessary. We waited at one stop for 45 minutes. We first waited almost 15 minutes, watching it on the map in their app, but the bus went right by us, didn’t even stop at the bus stop (stop 4 on the blue Belem route). So we had to wait another 30 minutes and I literally stood in the road waving down the next bus.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Good Overview of Lisbon

Jill_P, Jul 2025

Great way to get an overview of Lisbon. Good value, especially if you buy the multi-day ticket. Commentary with the headphones was informative.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

My husband and I find hop...

Wesley_H, Jun 2025

My husband and I find hop on hop off tours very helpful and have done a number of them. This was our worse experience and wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. The bus driver would give very little time for the passengers to get on or off. The passengers wouldn’t be seated or up the stairs and it would take off. Wanting to get out was a joke if you were on the top level because you couldn’t get down the stairs fast enough. Our driver was talking loudly on the phone the entire time we were on the bus.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We have a 72 hr ticket....

Tracey_T, Jun 2025

We have a 72 hr ticket. Have been on the tram and both bus routes so far, and it’s been really good so far. The quality of commentary has been excellent and informative. Looking forward to the boat ride

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Excellent Value For Money Experience

Raymond_H, Jun 2025

The ticket includes a tram trip and a river cruise as well as the hop on hop off bus routes and was very good value for money for a 72hr ticket. The staff were all very helpful and courteous. Good way to see Lisbon.

Hop On, Hop Off Boat , Monastery, City Centre

John_m, May 2025

The boat ride can be done more than once within the hours of your pass. You can go to the Monastary, Belem Tower, and then to City Centre. There are many good seafood restaurants along the river, as well.

Not recommended, horrible customer service

Jason_C, May 2025

We booked this trip with coworkers and friends. There was a blackout on Monday April 28 and we only rode one stop before the yellow bus company said all buses were halted. Unfortunately we could not use the trip the next day as we left the location. I tried to ask for reimbursement and the company Yellow Bus tours denied my request and my travel agent. I would not recommend this company and I should have booked with City Sightseeing tours instead. Caveat emptar buyer beware!

Bought the 96 hr pass....

Mark_R, May 2025

Bought the 96 hr pass. The inclusion of the Red Trrolley negated need to stand for an hour line for the famed #28 as it basically follows the same route. Also access to the boat trip & other trolleys saved time & expense. Redtrolley driver personable & fun. Worth the cost.

Yellow bus

Kathleen_M, Apr 2025

The Yellow Bus hop off and on is a great way to see all around. Be careful to ask what line it is on. Reference blue is local and purple is for modern Lisbon. I would use this this service in any new place I was visiting.

Suspended circuit with no warn in advance

LUIS_O, Apr 2025

In general is a good tour, we did the bus modern lisbon, the tram hill tour and the boat tour. But when we wanted to do the Belem bus circuit, rhere was a sign in the starting point that it was suspended due to national day! No one warned us in advance in any of rhe other a activities of the tour that it will be suspended the next day, otherwise we would have done it before......Disapointing to pay for the all in one and missed the most important bus circuit.

Hop on Hop off and Boat Ride

Rosemarie_M, Apr 2025

Overall it was a good value for the money. We enjoyed the boat ride on a sunny afternoon in Lisbon and saw the beautiful monuments from the water. Then we took both bus routes- modern and Belém. Unfortunately in the Belém route the driver never stopped at stops 8 and 9. Then we had to get off at 10 ( the monastery) and backtrack in the rain with our granddaughter in her stroller. We asked the driver but he said he stopped but he did not. We pressed the button multiple times! It also would help if the commentary did give stop numbers too.

Easy way to see it all

Elodie_H, Mar 2025

This was a good hop on hop off Service. Although the stops are indicated, the signs are very small, and not always easy to find. The tram was great, but took almost 2 hours instead of one due to traffic. Finding the boat area was difficult Without help. The boat ride was great, the buses were prompt and the speakers worked well. Our train driver was exceptionally patient and kind.

Everything well Except the river cruise 🛳

Any_T, Feb 2025

They were very friendly and it was easy to get to the place from our hotel which was Lisboa ibis styles airport hotel when we took an Uber l, the issue was that they didn't tell us online about the river cruise which was only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (I think) not all the days which we would've wanted to have known beforehand and we didn't take a chance to do the cruise given that we stay only 2 days in lisboa so just keep that in mind

Sintra and Cascais

Russell_J, Jan 2025

I have taken quite a few tours, mostly booked through Viator, and this one was one of my favorites. Ricardo (Ricky) did an outstanding job of explaining and making everyone feel comfortable. All stops were interesting and gives you a feel for the area. I would recommend Lisbon tours, at least given by Ricardo that is. Two thumbs up for Ricky.
