you have a map of the metro?
There are two types of train ticket for all trains: conforto (1st class) and turística (2nd class). On longer trips, where it is advisable to book ahead (reservar lugares), you can book online. The Alfa Pendular is a fast, intercity train and the most expensive. The Intercidades is a fast, long-distance service, and the medium-distance Inter-Regional stops at all the main stations.

Taxis in Portugal have an illuminated taxi sign on top and are usually painted beige, but some older ones are still green and black. The driver’s ID and the meter should both be displayed inside the car. There is a fixed tariff starting at €3.25, but increasing to €3.90 after 9 p.m., at weekends, and during holidays. Within the city you can get a standard fare, but outside the city limits you’ll be charged per kilometre, and the driver is entitled to charge for the return fare. You’ll also pay a surcharge if you are travelling with luggage. To ask for a receipt, say Queria uma fatura, por favor. It’s a good idea to ask for this in advance, as you get in the car.
