Lisbon Metro
Four lines, 50 stations and one flat fare — map, tickets and hours, from the operator’s own file
The four lines are called by their colour
In Lisbon the lines have no numbers. They are the Blue, Yellow, Green and Red lines, and that is how they appear on every sign, on the trains and in the operator’s own data file. On this page you will see the English colour with the Portuguese name next to it, because the Portuguese name is what is written in the station.
| Line | Portuguese name | Stations | From / to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue line | Linha Azul | 18 | Santa Apolónia → Reboleira |
| Yellow line | Linha Amarela | 13 | Rato → Odivelas |
| Green line | Linha Verde | 13 | Telheiras → Cais do Sodré |
| Red line | Linha Vermelha | 12 | São Sebastião → Aeroporto |
The network map
What a journey costs
One price for the whole network: there are no zones and no fare jumps. A single journey is €1.90 with a paper-free ticket on a navegante card, €1.72 if you top the card up with zapping credit, and €1.92 if you simply tap a contactless bank card at the gate. The card itself costs €0.50 and is a separate thing from the journey.
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Single ticket (Carris/Metro) | €1.90 |
| 24-hour ticket, Carris and Metro | €7.25 |
| 24-hour ticket, Carris, Metro and the ferry | €10.35 |
| 24-hour ticket, Carris, Metro and trains | €11.40 |
| One metro journey paid with zapping | €1.72 |
| One journey paid with a bank card | €1.92 |
When the metro runs
The first trains leave at 6.30am and the last ones finish around 1.36am (next day), every day of the year. The network does not close at midnight, which is the mistake most guides make: the last train is after midnight, and that hour belongs to the previous day’s service.
Metropolitano de Lisboa, E.P.E. does not publish open data for the arrival time of the next train: its status interface exists but is behind a key and has no published terms of use. So this site does not give real-time information — it gives the scheduled timetable, which is a different thing and is called by a different name.
Coming from the airport
The airport has its own metro station on the Red line, and — unlike London, Oslo or Milan — there is no airport supplement: the same €1.90 ticket works. Baixa-Chiado, in the middle of the old town, is about 28 minutes away with 1 change.
The stations, timetables and journey times on this page come from the GTFS file that Metropolitano de Lisboa, E.P.E. publishes as open data (Fonte: Metropolitano de Lisboa, E.P.E. — dados.gov.pt (CC BY)), edition 23.04.00, retrieved on 21 October 2026. Lisbon Metro is an independent guide: it is not run by Metropolitano de Lisboa, E.P.E. and has no connection with the company. Prices are the ones published by the operator on the date shown and can change. The Portuguese version of this site, with all 50 stations, is at metrolisboa.org.
