Transportation to Airport from Lisbon City Center

Lisbon Portela Airport

You can easily reach the airport by metro line which runs from the city center or many places in the city until 1 am or AEROBUS airport services which runs until 11 pm. These two are the most convenient ways to get to the airport, after taking a taxi. Because the airport is very close to the city center, we advise you to check the taxi fare as well. If you take the metro from many points in the city and switch to the red metro line, you can go directly to the airport without being caught in traffic. It's the shortest way to get to the airport. The Lisbon metro runs between 6.30 am and 1 am and departs every 6 minutes. By obtaining a metro map, you can easily find where you can get on and switch to the red line. If you have a lot of luggage and don’t want to take metro stairs with your baggage, you can also use AEROBUS airport services.

The buses depart every 40 minutes before 8 pm and every hour after 8 pm. If you are traveling with just a hand baggage, you can take the bus number 744 that runs every day until evening. But if you have more, you cannot use this bus. You can determine the stop where you can get on this bus running between "Marques Pombal"- Airport and "Moscavide", according to its route.

Transportation to Zanzibar City Center from Airport

Abeid Amani Karume Intl. Airport

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, also known as Kisauni Airport, is an important transportation center of the region with its distance of about 5 kilometers from the capital Zanzibar. Regular flights to European cities, to East Africa and the Middle East take place from the airport. The airport which was known as Kisauni before, is carrying the name of the first president of the country since 2010.

It is possible to travel to Israel's Tel Aviv city, Germany's Munich and Frankfurt cities, Dubai, Doha, Amsterdam, Brussels, Nairobi, Milan, Bologna and Istanbul with seasonal flights from the airport.

When you arrive at the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you can get to the center which is 5 kilometers away by taking a taxi, renting a car from one of the local Zanzibar rental companies, or with airport shuttle if you have booked in advance

Taxi

At Abeid Amani Karume International Airport you can find taxis without difficulty, especially during flight times. The taxis in Zanzibar determine their fares based on the taximeter device turned on in front of the airport terminal; you can reach your destination with a not-so-high fare thanks to the factors such as the close proximity of the airport. However, if you still have some question marks about the taxi fare that you would pay, you can go to the information desks at the airport without having to leave the terminal after your plane has landed, and you can ask the average taxi fare by showing the address you will be going to. Another way to know about the taxi fare in advance and have a more comfortable journey on this route is to discuss with the taxi drivers waiting in front of the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.

Car Rental

At Abeid Amani Karume International Airport or Kisauni Airport, as it was known before, generally the local car rental companies serve to those passengers willing to rent a car. After renting your car from the companies located at the airport terminal, you can deal with a local guide or drive with a navigation device if you would like to find your way easily to the center. Car rental fares are not usually high at the airport and you will not have much difficulty driving and finding parking slot in the city. This way, if you are planning to travel between different regions of Zanzibar, you can consider renting a car and driving to the center.

Airport Shuttle

The airport shuttle service is among one of the top preferences of passengers who will stay in a large hotel, especially in the center of Zanzibar. If you are not planning to stay in a hotel in the center or the hotel you are staying at does not offer this service, it is possible for you to look online and find a private shuttle company. If you are going to get support from a local guide while you are in the city, you can also ask your guide for help finding and booking an airport shuttle. The fare you would pay in Zanzibar, where the airport is only about 5 kilometers outside the center, for a shuttle to get to the city center will usually be low. On the other hand, keep in mind that based on the distance the fare you would pay increase if you will be travelling further away from the center.
