Hi all,
Can anyone help me with this bus? Lp tells me that it goes down Avenida da Liberdade to the Cais do Sodre but I want to get off and walk to the Residencial Alegria. I cannot find anywhere the name of the street that seems to go from the placa Alegria to the Avenida do Liberdade and intersect with the latter. I presume that I would have to ask for this cross street. Or does this bus have specific stops? I'd like to know if there is one in this vicinity and how I would ask/recognise it when I got there.
Hope someone can help.Many thanks

If you look here, you see Rua de Alegria is not far from Restauradores where there is an airport bus stop. As I recall, there were specific bus stops -- maybe you need the one before?

Yes, the bus has specific stops, you want the red line:

B in this map is where you are going? Residencial Alegria?
Rua das Pretas cuts from Avenida da Liberdade to Praca Alegria.
Get off stop "Av da Liberdade", there is a dot matrix board on the bus which tells you which stop is coming up next plus an announcement.
(Wait for the picture/map to load)
Your stop is particularly easy as the previous one is just before a huge roundabout at Marques de Pombal so as soon as you've gone round the roundabout and start going down Av da Liberdade your stop is next.
Even if you miss the stop the next one at Restaurodes is not that far from where you're going.

Thanks so much to all of you - all is now clear.
I now see that this bus goes to Entrecampos also. I am planning to take the train to Faro and beyond - the train seems to stop at both Gare do Oriente and Entrecampos. Would this bus be a good connection or is it better to take the subway? ie I don't want to miss the train as they are not that frequent!

#5 - when's the last time you've taken a taxi Lisbon?
I've been there three times in the last two years, going again next Wednesday and a taxi to/from the airport is at least 20, and that's not even to the centre of town! 5 euros would get you about a block!

Re: Entrecampos fro the train: get the metro. Super easy, one stop from Avenida (blue line, where you are staying) north to Marques de Pombal and then the yellow line to Entrecampos.
Actually there's a handy map on the metro pages for where you're staying, the bus stop is marked on it:

The Aerobus is number 91
All of the stations on this map are "clickable" and give you maps of the local area

#6 - August 31st 2009 and the 4th September 2009. From here to here. First trip from the airport was just over €5 and the return trip was about €6-7. The cab from the airport we picked up from the departures terminal after it had dropped someone off, apparently this is quicker than going to the rank outside the arrivals terminal.
