Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro and Portuguese is the language, though English is common in tourist areas. The centre is walkable but hilly, and the clean modern metro (which links the airport), historic trams and buses make getting around cheap and easy, so skip a rental car and its tricky parking on the narrow streets.
