It is one of the oldest stations on the Lisbon network, having opened in 1959. It is an underground station and is surprisingly handicapped accessible. At the street level, look for the lift station. I couldn't find it. That would have been helpful for me with my big suitcase today. Instead, I lugged it down the stairs. The ticketing concourse has the usual automated vending machines (my 24 hour ticket hasn't expired yet!) and turnstiles. On the Yellow line, it is between Campo Pequeno (towards Odivelas and Picoas (towards Rato). And on the Red Line, it is between São Sebastião (the next station is the end of the line) and Alameda (towards Aeroporto). Signage was good enough that I did not get lost or on the wrong platform. This is my 16th Lisbon metro station and the last of this trip to this wonderful city https://www.yelp.com/collection/CfbD1v3ZM2fs8rXAVMjOrg/ [Review 19068 overall - 261 in Portugal - 37 of 2023.]

Metro Saldanha is a metro station in Lisbon. It is on both the Yellow and Red Lines making it a…read moreuseful changeover station. You can use the red line from this station to get to the Airport within 19 minutes, and the central location within the city would make this a likely stopover point for those travelling to the Airport. It is also reasonably close to the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. The Lisbon Metro seemed straightforward to navigate between lines and in stations. Ticket machines have an English language option. The pricing is reasonable, costing €1.80 for unlimited use of the metro within one hour, however, you must also purchase the "navegante card" for 50 cents, this can be re-loaded, but with it only being a tiny bit of paper, it is easy to damage or misplace, and the cost does add up if you keep leaving it behind. The Lisbon Metro as a whole is unique and many of the stations have interesting artwork which can be a tourist attraction in its own right. In terms of everything else, it's pretty much an average Metro station in Lisbon, the art is nice, but there are certain nicer-looking stations on the network, once you're underground it is fairly easy to follow the station and get between lines, with signage provided in English and Portuguese being quite good. I do agree with other reviews that the lift was hard to find, and I too had to carry my large suitcase down the stairs on my way to the Airport. 3*

Serving the Baixa and Chiado neighborhoods, this station is another of the crossover points where…read moretwo lines meet. From here, you can change between the Linha Azul (blue line) and the Linha Verde (green line). It is quite a deep station, some 150 feet below the surface because it is under one of the seven hills of Lisbon. Expect escalators. The station opened in 1998. The station has four tracks each with side platforms. It is handicapped accessible. On the blue line, it is between Restauradores (toward Reboleira) and Terreiro do Paço (toward Santa Apolónia). On the green line, it is between Rossio (toward Telheiras) and Cais do Sodré (the terminus of the line). [Review 16571 overall - 89 in Portugal - 81 of 2022.]

On the green line, the next station is Baixa-Chiado towards Telheiras. The metro station is completely handicapped accessible with lifts and escalators between the street level and platform level. There are automated ticket vending machines for the metro. I was here to catch the ferry, which of course is at street level. Separate vending machines for ferry tickets and a clear display indicating not only how long until the next ferry departs, the gate (there are three gates) and what percentage full. Purchasing the ferry ticket was easy (only €1.80 including the €0.50 for a new Viagem card) and quick. I was able to buy my ticket at 16:35, scan it and still board the 16:40 ferry to Cacilhas. There is a small waiting area and then boarding the ferry was easy. [Review 16625 overall - 142 in Portugal - 136 of 2022.]

From here, you can get into the city centre in around 20 minutes. The Lisbon Metro seemed straightforward to navigate between lines and in stations. Ticket machines have an English language option. The pricing is reasonable, costing €1.80 for unlimited use of the metro within one hour, however, you must also purchase the "navegante card" for 50 cents, this can be re-loaded, but with it only being a tiny bit of paper, it is easy to damage or misplace, and the cost does add up if you keep leaving it behind. There are lots of ticket machines at this particular station, and there is a sign right behind them explaining the tickets in English, there weren't too many staff members offering assistance, I only noticed one employee who seemed very busy dealing with tourists. The main entrance/exit to the station is right outside Humberto Delgado Airport, so it's easy to access the Terminal from here, it is also a short walk to the shuttle bus if you're unlucky enough to be travelling from Terminal 2. I didn't notice any elevators inside the station, but the escalators are easy to find and follow up to the top, and shouldn't be too difficult to manage with a suitcase. There is a lot of empty space in the station, in one of the halls, there was a stand selling cheap tacky souvenirs, which would probably only be useful as a last-minute gift if you're heading to the Airport and have forgotten to get something for someone back home. The art around the station was amusing, with caricatures all over the walls. The Red Line overall is one of the best on the network for station art, so be sure to keep an eye out on your journey. 3* - Decent metro station serving the Airport, no worse or better than any other Airport but certainly useful.

Your first ride is an extra €1 for the reloadable card which you can keep using throughout your time in Lisbon. After that, €1.50 per ride and if you're planning on riding a couple of times, it's best to buy the 24 hour pass. And unlike some cities, it's not "until the end of the day" but is actually for 24 hours from the first time you activate. That's a huge money and hassle saver! The pass works on the subway, the trams and the buses. Lisbon has four color coded lines that each meet and cross over. Here at the airport, you're at the terminus of the red line, which in Portuguese is the Linha Vermelha. From Aeroporto, it connects with the green (Verde), yellow (Amarela) and terminates at San Sebastiao where it meets the blue (Azul) line. The station is step free but the elevators are not easy to find. The station has two tracks with side platforms. The subway was only extended to the airport in 2012, replacing the Aerobus service. It is entirely underground and there is good signage at the airport to find the subway. Look for the red canopy. [Review 16567 overall - 85 in Portugal - 77 of 2022.]
