Which Dock in Lisbon?

I am on From Cyprus with Love in April and I am wondering which dock Thomson uses in Lisbon, reseach shows there are 3 quite far apart. I am trying to sort a DIY.

Thanks :D:D

The Hop On/Hop Off buses visit each terminal of the two docks I'm aware of.

 

It's the best way to DIY Lisbon IMO.

 

You can save a few Euros by booking in advance - there is more than one company, so best to do your homework online first.

 

We went with this (red bus) outfit and there are two routes - download the map for specifics.

I can't recall the name of the stop (red route) for Alcantara dock - but it does pickup and drop off there - stop 1 ?

 

You are almost right under the big bridge over the Tagus.

 

If it's the other dock I'm thinking off - it's stop 9, Santa Apolonia Estacion, on the blue route.

 

There is another HOHO (yellow bus) firm but we have no experience of them.

 

It may include a free tram ride ?

 

One recommendation - if you have your own headphones than I would take them with you, the ones supplied always hurt my ears !!!

I would thoroughly recommend getting off at stop 6 RED route / stop 23 BLUE route at the top of the Parque Eduardo VII and walking down through the park to shared RED/BLUE stop 1 Marques do Pombal.

 

From there you can rejoin either route as the mood takes you.

 

There is a nice cafe restaurant at the top end of the park, just off to the left as you head down - it has a pond with ducks and swans and does lovely cakes etc.
