It is the total for the family, city tax included. When there is no flight on one of those days, we use the nearest day.

Lisbon with three children, Friday to Monday

Lisbon is easier with children than its hills suggest, as long as the metro and the trams do the climbing. Stay somewhere flat, keep Belém for the weekend, when its monuments are open, and give one afternoon to Parque das Nações, where the Oceanário and the Pavilhão do Conhecimento science centre stand side by side on the river.

The hard part is the room. Not every hotel has one that sleeps five, so the prices on this page are for a single room for all five, not a double room multiplied. Once you’re there, two details change the bill: the Oceanário costs less in its late-afternoon slot, and the Pavilhão do Conhecimento sells a €35 family ticket.

What to do from Friday to Monday

Friday evening
The red metro line gets from the airport to Saldanha in about 20 minutes, and under-4s ride free. Dinner near the hotel, or at the Time Out Market in Cais do Sodré, open until midnight, where everyone can pick their own stall.
Saturday
Belém in the morning, while its monuments are open: the Jerónimos Monastery (€18), the Belém Tower (€15) and the riverside gardens. In the afternoon, the zoo, at €31 per adult and €19 per child from 3 to 12, or in summer the train on to the beach at Carcavelos.
Sunday
Parque das Nações: the Pavilhão do Conhecimento first, with its €35 family ticket, then the Oceanário from 4pm, when tickets are cheapest (€25.50 per adult and €15.50 per child aged 3 to 12).
Monday morning
The flat Baixa on foot, down to the Praça do Comércio by the river, and the red line back to the airport.

Where to stay

Baixa
Flat, central and walkable, with the metro at the door: the easiest base with small children or a buggy.
Avenida da Liberdade
The broad avenue of bigger hotels, a short walk from the Baixa. Quieter in the evening.
Saldanha
On the red line, about 20 minutes from the airport with no change.
Alfama
The oldest quarter, below the castle: steep, cobbled and lovely, but hard going with a buggy.

From the airport to the centre

Metro, red line
From Aeroporto station to Saldanha in about 20 minutes. A single costs €1.90, plus €0.50 for the navegante card. Under-4s ride free; from 4 to 12, children travel free only with a personalised navegante card on the child profile, which you apply for in advance.
Uber and Bolt
Pick-up at car park P2, level 2, on the arrivals side. By law, children can ride without a child seat in taxis and ride-hailing cars as long as they sit in the back.
Aerobus
No longer running. Guides that still list it are out of date.

Questions

How much does a 3-night break in Lisbon cost for a family of five?

From €711 for 2 adults and 3 children, flying from Dublin, in January: direct return flights for all five and 3 nights in one room, at a hotel rated 7.5 or more. In the dearest month we saw, June, the same trip costs €4,358.

What is the cheapest month to go to Lisbon?

From Dublin, January (€711 for all five). These are prices for the middle week of each month; on a given date they can be higher or lower, and the search shows them day by day.

How long is the flight to Lisbon?

From Dublin, 2 h 50, flying direct.

Do children pay on the Lisbon metro?

Not under 4. From 4 to 12, children travel free only with a personalised navegante card on the child profile, which you apply for in advance; without one, they need a ticket like everyone else: €1.90 a single, plus €0.50 for the card.

Is there a family ticket for the Oceanário?

The Oceanário doesn’t list one; what changes the price is the time slot. From 4pm to 6.30pm it’s €25.50 per adult and €15.50 per child aged 3 to 12, the lowest fares of the day, and babies up to 2 go free. The Pavilhão do Conhecimento next door does have a family ticket: €35 for two adults and their children up to 17.

Do children need a car seat in Portugal?

In a hire car, yes: every child under 12 who is shorter than 1.35 m needs an approved seat that fits their size and weight, in the back. Taxis and ride-hailing cars are exempt, as long as the children don’t sit in the front.

How many hotels in Lisbon have a room for five?

Up to 32 three- to five-star hotels no more than 5 km from the centre, rated 7.5 or more, had a room free for 2 adults and 3 children in the weeks we checked, from Friday to Monday.
