Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro, and cards are widely accepted, though small cash helps in cafés and markets. Public transit is excellent and the smart move here: the metro, trams, and funiculars tame the steep hills, and ride apps like Bolt and Uber are cheap for the rest, so skip the rental car since narrow streets and parking are a headache, and pack good walking shoes. Portuguese is the language, but English is common in tourist areas, and the city is generally very safe.
