TRAVEL

“Logistics and ensuring all our guests won’t have to worry about transportation is one of the most important aspects of planning for us. We want to take care of you and put your minds at ease so you can enjoy our wedding weekend!”


Flights

  • Lisbon airport code: LIS

  • The Lisbon airport is 10 minutes from downtown Lisbon and roughly 20 minutes from Sintra.

  • BOOK IN ADVANCE TAP has direct flights to Lisbon from JFK, Newark & Logan (Boston). If you want to fly direct on a budget, TAP is your best bet.

  • Portugal’s national airlines,TAP Portugal, is a great option for your flight search especially if you want to tag on a European adventure before or after the wedding, check out TAP’s Stopover option. The Cintra family have flown the airline countless times visiting family.

  • Other carriers that fly non-stop from NYC are Air France, KLM, Delta, Lufthansa, United and Brussels Airlines.

  • LISBON AIRPORT GUIDE: We highly suggest allotting an extra hour or two for your departing flight from Lisbon Airport as security and customs can take time.


Covid-19 Testing

  • Return to the United States: At 12:01 a.m. EDT on June 12, 2022, the CDC will no longer order air passengers to show a negative COVID-19 test result, or show documentation of recovery from COVID-19, prior to boarding a flight to the United States.

Getting Around

  • UBER is very easy in Portugal and highly suggested over local taxis. When you arrive from the airport in ARRIVALS, call an uber to your hotel in Sintra or Lisbon. We advise you to not take taxi’s from the airport as many taxis will take you on a bad route that will increase the taxi fare. We also highly suggest Uber or Lyft as your primary transportation during your stay—-they are frequent and affordable!

  • RENTAL CARS are not necessary for our wedding weekend, but if you decide to take a road trip before/after the prices are fair. It’s a good idea for a car rental if you want to drive to Estoril, Cascais, Sintra, Palmela, Sesimbra, etc..  Be warned, if you decide to do rental cars it is hard to find parking in downtown Lisbon and the roads can get really tight and narrow! Although, there are plenty of parking lots. Tips on driving in Lisbon

  • LISBON METRO and Tram is an inexpensive, safe and fastest method to travel around the capital. It is also very easy! But beware of pick-pockets on the 28 Tram! Lisbon Metro Guide
