Hello, I would like to know where to buy the Viva Viagem card and how it works. If I charge 40 euros for example, can I spend it for a week or more or do they expire in a single day?
I arrive in Lisbon at 11 at night... I have to go to Belem... how would I do it... by taxi or the aerobus... I don't think so because it ends at eleven at night.
Maite, I think that, in fact, you only have the taxi option to get to Belem at that time

We want to go to Lisbon. The trip will be in economy class but it is not uncomfortable, so you have to use services with supportive prices. Could someone guide us regarding accommodation, places to eat, places to buy tours. What will the temperature be the 2nd half of September and the 1st? October, when the season of low influx of travelers begins there? We only speak Spanish, is it difficult to communicate with Lusitanians? We are very grateful to anyone who can respond to our request.
