Lisboa Card + Oceanário de Lisboa Bundle 2026
This bundle pairs the standard Lisboa Card with a separate ticket to the Oceanário de Lisboa aquarium, sold together for roughly 15% less than buying them apart. You still get everything the plain card offers — free entry to São Jorge Castle, unlimited transport and 50-plus attractions — plus the aquarium. It only makes sense if you actually plan to visit the Oceanário.
The Oceanário de Lisboa is one of the city’s most popular paid attractions, out at Parque das Nações. Because it is not one of the sites the standard Lisboa Card covers for free, this bundle folds it in at a discount.
For a castle-focused visitor the question is simple: the São Jorge Castle side is identical to the plain card, so all you are weighing is whether the aquarium belongs on your trip. This guide explains what the bundle adds and when it is worth it.
What the Bundle Adds Over the Plain Card
The bundle is the standard Lisboa Card plus one extra: a dated ticket to the Oceanário de Lisboa aquarium. Nothing about the castle changes — you still enter São Jorge Castle free with the same transport and 50-plus attractions. The saving over buying the two separately is around 15 per cent, so it only pays if you were going to the Oceanário anyway.
Everything that makes the Lisboa Card useful for the castle carries over unchanged: free São Jorge Castle admission, unlimited transport up the hill and across the city, and free or discounted entry to 50-plus other sites. The single addition is the aquarium ticket, at a lower combined price.
What is included: Everything in the standard Lisboa Card — free entry to São Jorge Castle and 50-plus other attractions, unlimited public transport, and trains to Sintra and Cascais — plus a dated entry ticket to the Oceanário de Lisboa aquarium
Duration: Lisboa Card valid 24, 48 or 72 hours from first use; the Oceanário ticket is used on your chosen date
Rating: 4.4 stars (a small number of reviews so far)
Cancellation: The Lisboa Card can be rescheduled up to 23:59 the day before; the Oceanário ticket cannot be rescheduled
Best for: Visitors who want the full Lisboa Card benefits and are definitely visiting the Oceanário, especially families

Is the Bundle Worth It for a Castle Visit?
For the castle alone, the bundle offers no advantage over the plain Lisboa Card, since castle entry is free on both. It only wins if the Oceanário is on your list — then the roughly 15 per cent saving is real money off two things you were buying anyway. With no aquarium plans, buy the standard card or a single castle ticket instead.
The castle is not the deciding factor, since both the bundle and the plain card admit you free. What you are really deciding is whether the Oceanário fits your trip. It is a large, well-regarded aquarium, but it sits a metro ride away at Parque das Nações and easily fills half a day, so it suits visitors with time and, often, children in tow.
If the aquarium is not for you, do not pay for it: a standard Lisboa Card covers the castle and city sights without it, and for a castle-only trip a single entry ticket with audio guide is cheaper still.
How It Fits a Lisbon Itinerary
The two halves point in different directions across the city: the castle sits above Alfama in the historic centre, while the Oceanário is out east at Parque das Nações, so you would typically do them on separate days, with the card’s unlimited transport covering the metro ride between them. If you are mapping a route up to the castle, our guide on how to get to São Jorge Castle covers the tram, bus and lift options, and you can weigh every castle ticket route in our tickets compared guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Lisboa Card + Oceanário bundle include?
It includes the full standard Lisboa Card — free entry to São Jorge Castle and 50-plus other attractions, unlimited public transport, and trains to Sintra and Cascais — plus a separate dated ticket to the Oceanário de Lisboa aquarium. The two are sold together at a combined price, so you use the card for the castle and the aquarium ticket for the Oceanário.
How much does the bundle save over buying separately?
The advertised saving is around 15 per cent versus buying the Lisboa Card and the Oceanário ticket individually. Because prices change and are shown in your local currency, check the live figure at booking. The saving only helps if you were always going to visit the aquarium — otherwise you are paying for an entry you will not use.
Is São Jorge Castle entry different with the bundle?
No. Castle entry is exactly the same as with the plain Lisboa Card: fully included, so you walk in free rather than paying the €17 adult rate. The bundle changes nothing about the castle side — it simply adds the aquarium. If the castle is your main goal and you have no aquarium plans, the standard card or a single castle ticket is the better buy.
Can I reschedule the bundle?
The two parts have different rules. The Lisboa Card portion can generally be rescheduled up to 23:59 the day before, while the Oceanário ticket cannot be rescheduled once booked. That makes the aquarium date the firmer commitment, so pick it carefully and confirm the current terms at checkout.
Is the bundle good for families?
It often is, because the Oceanário is a strong hit with children and the Lisboa Card covers transport and other family-friendly sites. At the castle, children up to 12 already enter free, so families frequently only need adult cards for the castle side. Check whether discounted child card versions are available.
How long is the Lisboa Card part valid?
The Lisboa Card comes in 24, 48 and 72-hour versions and starts counting from first use, not purchase. Choose the length that matches your days of sightseeing. The Oceanário ticket is tied to the date you select rather than the card’s rolling window, so plan the aquarium visit as a fixed point in your schedule.
Where do I collect everything?
As with the standard card, you exchange your voucher for the physical Lisboa Card at an Ask Me Lisboa office before use, while the Oceanário entry is its own aquarium ticket. Keep both to hand — the card for the castle, transport and city sites, and the ticket for the Oceanário.
Should I get this bundle or a single castle ticket?
If the castle is essentially the only paid thing you want to do, a single entry ticket with audio guide is far cheaper and simpler than any card. The bundle only makes sense when you are visiting the Oceanário and a spread of other attractions with heavy transport use.
