Lisbon airport transfers, chauffeur service and group transport
Lisbon's airport sits about 7 km from the centre. The constraints are the ZER emission zones on weekdays and the lack of a published meeting point at arrivals.
Humberto Delgado Airport: fix the meeting point yourself
The airport has Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and no official coach or chauffeur meeting point is published. So the brief states the terminal and the operator names an exact meeting spot in writing, passed on to the group before travel. The drive to the centre is 15-30 minutes.
ZER Zone 1 and Zone 2: Euro standards by area
On weekdays from 07:00 to 21:00, Zone 1, covering Avenida da Liberdade and the Baixa, requires Euro 3 or newer. Zone 2, the wider area inside Avenida Ceuta and the Eixo Norte-Sul, requires Euro 2 or newer. Avenida da Liberdade hotels and the Baixa both sit in Zone 1. Confirm the vehicle's Euro class on the quote.

Cruise ports
Cruise days at Jardim do Tabaco and Santa Apolónia
The main cruise terminals, Jardim do Tabaco and Santa Apolónia, sit near Alfama; Rocha Conde de Óbidos is the third. Give the operator the berth as well as the ship; three terminals mean three different kerbs. The airport is about 9 km away, 15-30 minutes. Alfama and São Jorge Castle are close to the terminals, which suits a short excursion before embarkation.
Parque das Nações, Belém and day trips
FIL and the MEO Arena are at Parque das Nações, where the hotel district puts conference delegates within a short shuttle of the halls. The Centro de Congressos de Lisboa is on the Junqueira riverside at Alcântara, near LX Factory. Belém, with the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, lies west of the centre and makes an easy stop on the way to or from the congress centre.
Sintra, Fátima and Évora: planning the long days
Sintra and Cascais are 35-50 minutes out and combine into one day. Óbidos is 1-1.25 hours, Fátima 1.25-1.5 hours and Évora about 1.5 hours. An Óbidos and Fátima pairing for a pilgrimage group is a full driving day; the 45-minute break after four and a half hours at the wheel should fall at a visit, not at a service area.
Questions
Does Zone 1 exclude an older coach?
On weekdays from 07:00 to 21:00 it requires Euro 3 or newer. Anything older should set down outside Zone 1.
When do the ZER rules apply?
The published hours are weekdays, 07:00 to 21:00.
How long from the airport to the cruise terminal?
About 9 km, 15-30 minutes by road.
Is Sintra a half-day trip?
At 35-50 minutes each way, yes, with time on site. Adding Cascais turns it into a full day.
