We recommend using the bus as it is the most popular way to get from Setúbal to Lisbon among Omio's users.
Portugal uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards for most transactions, especially in cities and larger establishments, while carrying some cash is advisable for small vendors, markets, or remote areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Lisbon, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like trams, metro stations, and popular tourist spots such as Alfama and Baixa. Common scams include unofficial taxi drivers overcharging or taking longer routes and street vendors selling counterfeit goods. It's advisable to use authorized transportation and keep valuables secure to ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
