When planning your vacation, many individuals secure tickets in advance, especially for attractions with designated time slots. This ensures you can secure tickets for your preferred day and time. Here are some tips and links to Lisbon attractions.
Let me share some valuable tips to assist you in the process of purchasing attraction tickets through official websites.
NIF/Tax Number/VAT Number:
On various ticket platforms, you might be required to input a NIF or Tax Number. The Portuguese Tax number consists of 9 digits, including check digits, so generic numbers like 123456789 may not be effective. Instead, consider using 999999999 or 999999990, commonly used as a “final consumer” tax number.
Payment by Multibanco Reference or MB Way:
These payment methods exclusively function with Portuguese bank cards, making them impractical for others.
Can I pay with Venmo, Zelle, etc.?
Unfortunately, these payment options are not operational in Portugal. The preferred methods typically include Credit Card or PayPal.
Where should I purchase tickets?
