A fixed-price airport taxi voucher covers luggage, with fares set by destination zone, time and vehicle size. For up to four passengers, the published weekday daytime prices are €16 or €19. The Ask Me Lisboa desk sells vouchers between 07:00 and 22:00.
If you’re here: Confirm the destination, total and voucher conditions before paying; don’t assume every airport taxi uses the same arrangement.

On 17 September, Cabinet approved a bill to extend the temporary fuel-duty reduction mechanism until 31 December 2026. The announcement said an extension would not itself create a further automatic tax reduction. This archive records the proposal at that stage; it does not establish its later parliamentary outcome.
If you’re here: Check current pump prices and enacted tax measures before budgeting for a journey; the September proposal did not fix retail prices.

A government update published on 8 September said Carris had received 29 fully electric buses the previous day, taking its electric fleet to 103 vehicles. Seventy-eight of those buses were acquired with recovery-plan funding. The notice records a fleet expansion, but does not specify routes or guarantee more frequent services.
If you’re here: Check live Carris information for your route; the fleet announcement does not assign the new buses to particular services.

Gulbenkian, 70 Anos em Cartaz runs from 17 July to 19 October 2026 in the Art Library foyer, with free admission. It presents 70 selected posters and other graphic material from the foundation's history. The venue's current listing retains the 19 October closing date.
If you’re here: Check Art Library access hours before travelling. The photograph shows the museum entrance, rather than the exhibition or its entrance.

On 9 July, Portugal’s Cabinet approved a rental-reform bill addressing deposits, advance rent and limits between contracts. Its announcement distinguished new contracts from existing ones, whose applicable regime would stay unchanged. This archive records the proposal at that stage, not a confirmation of today’s rules for a particular tenancy.
If you’re here: Before signing or changing a tenancy, check the enacted law and your contract with a qualified adviser.
