Directions from Lisbon Airport to the Hotels in Cascais
- Details
By Taxi
When you get out of the airport, you will find several taxi drivers available to take you to your destination. The journey takes approximately 35 minutes, and on a weekday between 6 am and 9 pm, it costs approximately 40 Euros (excluding luggage and tolls). After this or during the weekend, the cost may raise to approximately 50 Euros.
Alternatively, you can buy a prepaid taxi voucher at the Tourism Information desk inside the airport.
This desk in open from 7 am to midnight, but you are required to buy your voucher 15 min before it closes. When you buy this voucher you will be escorted to your taxi (not all taxi drivers have an agreement with this prepaid service). The taxi voucher to the hotels costs 53.40 Euros during weekdays between 6 am and 9 pm. Outside of these hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, the voucher costs 64 Euros. You can also buy your return taxi voucher on the day of your arrival. If you plan to go back to the airport by taxi using the prepaid voucher, we recommend that you buy the return voucher on the day of your arrival as these are only sold in specific desks in Lisbon. The advantage of the taxi voucher is that the price is fixed and known before you enter the taxi.
