Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is Portugal’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers, low-cost airlines and regional operators; it functions as the city’s primary hub for long-haul and European connections. Located about 7 km northeast of the historic centre, transfer options include the metro (approx. 20–30 minutes, low fares), taxis or rideshares (15–30 minutes, moderate cost) and airport shuttles; car hire is widely available. Pros: convenient proximity to central Lisbon and good route choice; cons: can be busy during peak season and some terminals may feel cramped. A smaller executive airport (Cascais/Monte Real for general aviation) can be used for private or charter flights.
