The most comfortable way to get at OLá backpackers! Is by taxi, especially for the travelers that arrive by plane. It is not that expansive. Drivers are nicer if you catch them in the Departures instead of the Arrivals.

Anyway, be careful, they often try to charge more than they should when the client does not speak Portuguese (unfortunately!). They have a machine showing the price and to that is correct to add an extra amount for the luggage.

Both prices are shown and at the end of the ride they shall push a button to have the total amount. You don’t have to pay more than that. Usually the ride’s price stands between 10-15 euros, depending on the city’s traffic. Always ask for a receipt at the end and say the driver that our street is near by "Assembleia de Sao Bento", or they might pretend they do not know where is the street and try to get you to another place, mainly at late hours. Other then that, taxi drivers are totally safe.

If you are planning to arrive by train, you can choose between stoping at Oriente Station, Santa Apolonia Station or Rossio Station.

From Oriente you'll easily find the Metro (Subway, Underground). Get the Red Line towards Alameda station. Once there, transfer to the Green Line in the direction of Cais Do Sodre. Get out of the train when you reach the Baixa-Chiado stop (the 6th stop) and follow the directions that say Chiado. Once you are back in the streets, walk towards Praca Luis de Camoes (it’s a plaza with a statue in the middle, really easy to spot).

You’ll find the 28 TRAM stop. Catch the one that goes to Campo Ourique and ask the driver to let you know when the tram reaches the Sao Bento/Cç. Estrela stop. Back in the streets, walk through Rua de Sao Bento until you find Rua Nova da Piedade on your right side (takes 3 minutes). Make a right to get into that street and turn left in the first cross you find. Welcome! You got to Rua dos Prazeres, where our front-office is located.

From Santa Apolonia Station, you can take the Metro (Subway, Underground) towards Amadora Este and stop at the second stop (Baixa_Chiado). Then, follow the directions written above to find the 28 TRAM and prepare yourself to enjoy a funny 10 minutes ride.

It’s the best way to start right away exploring the city’s vibrations – you can watch the charming old architecture, the faces of our people, feel the smells and the noises and the colors that make Lisbon a specially contradictory and exciting city.

From Rossio Station, you can either walk (15 minutes climbing the hill) or walk until Rua Do Carmo and take Elevador Santa Justa, a beautiful Tram-Elevator from 1902 (the only vertical in Lisbon), classified as a National Monument. It takes you to Chiado. Climb Rua do Carmo until you find Rua Garret. Make a right, walk straight (2 minutes) until you find Praca Luis de Camoes and the 28 Tram. Enjoy the ride and follow the directions on the top (for Oriente Station).

We can also provide a transfer, which is the securest way to get to OLA backpackers! if you’re planning to arrive at late night hours.
