The west departure area holds Gates 7-26, with the shuttle to Terminal 2 near the entrance to gates 18-26. Level 3 offers retail stores, restaurants, and lounges.
• Terminal 2
  There is one level with landside and airside areas. There are no parking facilities. To connect to Terminal 1, use the free shuttle bus.

Lisbon Airport isn't far from the city, and your journey in should be quick. Although the taxi journey is short, travellers recommend using public transport, as some have had problems with taxi drivers overcharging.

Metro

The Metro's Red Line, 'Aeroporto – Saldanha' line, takes you to downtown Lisbon in about 20 minutes. Trains leave every six to nine minutes from 06:00-01:00.

Cost: EUR 1.45 one-way, EUR 6.30 all-day pass

Bus

The Aerobus provides a direct link between the airport and some of the main city points, including the Sete Rios bus terminal, the Entrecampos railway terminal, Cais do Sodré, and Areeiro-Martim Moniz. The buses are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, USB chargers, and luggage compartments.

Cost: EUR 3.60 one-way, EUR 5.40 round-trip

Taxi

The taxi journey to the city shouldn't be expensive and takes only 15 minutes or so. But, to avoid any problems with overcharging, get a pre-paid taxi voucher from the Tourist Information desk. Uber is also available here.

Cost: EUR 10-15 plus extra for luggage
Location: For a cheaper journey, take a taxi from outside Departures rather than Arrivals

A free shuttle bus connects both terminals every 10 minutes. This shuttle operates from 03:30-01:30 and leaves from the departures area of each terminal. The trip takes about 3 minutes.
