A new circular line between Rato and Cais do Sodré, with new stations at Estrela and Santos, is under construction. In March 2026 the chair of Metropolitano de Lisboa told Parliament the company was working to open it in the first quarter of 2027. Check the Metro's website for temporary closures.

Carris tram 28E runs from Martim Moniz through Graça, the cathedral, Chiado and Estrela to Campo de Ourique (Prazeres); 25E links Praça da Figueira with Lapa, Estrela and Campo de Ourique; 15E runs along the river from Praça da Figueira and Cais do Sodré to Belém and Algés.

CP's Cascais line starts at Cais do Sodré and serves Santos, Alcântara-Mar and Belém; the Sintra line starts at Rossio; the Azambuja line passes Oriente and Santa Apolónia. With a Navegante Municipal Lisboa pass, CP journeys within the city (for example Cais do Sodré – Algés) are included; check cp.pt for the exact sections. Fertagus trains and the Transtejo/Soflusa ferries to the south bank are separate operators; check which passes they accept.
