Lisbon is a truly amazing place to visit in June! It is the start of the summer busy season, so June offers all of the nice weather with less crowds. 

Transportation 

The best way to get around Lisbon is on foot and by public transport. Walking allows you to see the sights, but keep in mind that the city has many hills that can be quite the workout. Public transportation is a great option for longer commutes and to and from the airport.

The other options include buses, trams, metro, taxis, and elevators. Taxis are abundant at the Lisbon Portela Airport (LIS), located about 3 miles north of the downtown tourist districts. There is also a subway station at the airport with a direct line to the city center. 

Uber is a popular rideshare option in Lisbon. Many of the drivers speak English and Uber is considerably cheaper than a taxi service.
