Private airport transfers to and from Lisbon Airport (LIS)

Whether you’re arriving or departing, your journey is already taken care of.

Lisbon Airport (LIS), officially known as Humberto Delgado Airport, is Portugal’s main international gateway and one of Southern Europe’s busiest airports. Located just 7 km north of Lisbon city centre, the airport offers one of the shortest transfer distances of any major European capital.

The airport operates two terminals: Terminal 1 for most international and full-service flights, and Terminal 2 primarily for low-cost carriers. LIS handles over 30 million passengers annually and serves as the main hub for TAP Air Portugal, connecting Europe with the Americas, Africa, and beyond.

Lisbon Airport provides direct access not only to the capital’s historic districts but also to popular destinations such as Cascais, Sintra, and the wider Portuguese coastline. Its central location makes it an ideal entry point for both city breaks and longer regional journeys.

As a gateway to Portugal, LIS offers a busy yet efficient airport experience, combining strong global connectivity with close proximity to the city.
