Lisbon is served by Humberto Delgado Airport, located approximately 7 km from the city center. The airport is directly connected to the metro network (Red Line), as well as buses and taxis.
Buses and trams are operated by Carris. Bus routes cover the entire city, linking the centre with outlying areas. Some services operate overnight. Trams mainly serve central and riverside districts and generally run less frequently than buses.
The Metropolitano de Lisboa operates across four lines, providing convenient access to much of the city centre. Trains run daily between 06:30 and 01:00.
