That way, you can spend your first moments in Lisbon taking in the sights rather than staring anxiously at the taximeter.

Where to get a Lisbon Airport taxi?
Lisbon Airport’s taxi ranks are located just outside both terminals (T1 and T2). However, the Arrivals Hall for both terminals is situated on the ground floor of T1. So if you’re landing at T2, you’ll have to transfer to T1 and hop in a taxi from there.
Additionally, you may end up waiting a while for an airport taxi as Lisbon Airport can get very busy during peak season. To hop straight into a waiting vehicle, we recommend booking your Lisbon Airport taxi in advance – so you can enjoy a hassle-free start to your trip. airport taxi lisbon
