Brussels to Lisbon flights

Brussels to Lisbon flights run non-stop all year. Direct routes are operated by Brussels Airlines, TAP Air Portugal and Ryanair. The most competitive fares to Portugal's capital tend to appear in January, November and February, with the lowest current prices starting from 15€.

Flights to Lisbon usually leave from Brussels Airport (BRU), about 12km from the centre. Most full-service carriers, including Brussels Airlines, use Pier A for flights within the Schengen zone, while Pier B is for non-Schengen destinations.

The quickest way to the airport is the train from Brussels-South railway station (Bruxelles-Midi), which runs four times an hour. The Airport Line bus is another option from the city, and drivers reach the airport on the A201, which links directly to the R0 ring road.

Flights from Brussels land at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), about 7km from the city centre. Most international services use the main terminal; some budget carriers use a smaller terminal linked to it by a free shuttle bus.

To reach the centre, take the Metro Red Line from the airport station; the journey takes about 16 minutes. Carris buses 783 and 744 stop outside arrivals and run directly into the city. Taxis and private hire vehicles wait at designated pick-up points outside the terminals.

Begin your visit to Lisbon in the historic Alfama district, where you can hear traditional Fado music. The city is known for its tiled facades, seen in the Chiado neighbourhood, and for the Manueline architecture of the Belém Tower. For a local taste, stop at a bakery in Belém for a Pastel de Nata.

Lisbon's hilltop Bairro Alto district is known for its evening atmosphere, and the docks of Alcântara and the bars of Santos add to the nightlife. Trams, buses and the metro make it easy to move between them.
