just see the website

The simplest way is by bus (they run every day), which takes seven or eight hours. Finding the Lisbon-Seville timetable on the ALSA homepage (ALSA is the company that runs them, and it’s Spanish) is a bit complicated though, or maybe I’m just thick. Anyway, go to their homepage - http://www.alsa.es/portal/site/Alsa/ - and (because it forces you to say you’re starting from Spain), say that you’re going FROM Seville TO Lisbon, and then say you want the RETURN option. That should show not only the timetable from Seville to Lisbon, which you’re not interested in, but also the timetable from Lisbon to Seville, which is what you want.

CarrisTur's "Aerobus" & "AeroShuttle" services travel between Lisbon city centre and the airport. They runs between 7:45AM and 8:45PM and the ticket is purchased on board.

PRICE: 3.50 € (Ticket bought on board, valid for 24 hours also on AeroShuttle and Carris public buses). There are no return tickets, all tickets are one way.

The Aero-Bus (line 91) goes between the airport and city all the day, every 20 minutes. The price is 4 Euro and the ticket is valid for the rest of the day. There are several bus stops, and you can if you like use this bus for a sightseeing all the day.

Hi.
In terms of time, it's allmost the same. It will take around 3 - 3h30.
Train will be cheaper and it's more confortale, and you can see enjoy the view (interesting, to see how it changes in Alentejo, Algarve, etc).
Safety - both are safer.

Lisbon has an extensive bus network which can be very useful for getting to outlying areas and attractions. Like the trams, the buses are also operated by the company Carris.

There are quite a few possibilities for tickets. I bought a so called "7 colinas card" (7 hills card) for 0,50 Euro. This card can be credited with a dayticket for metro, trams and buses which costs 3,20 Euro (2006).

There are also other fares which can be loaded onto the card, so always keep the card with you. These sort of tickets are available from Carris kiosks (e.g. at Praca da Figueira).

If your time in Lisbon is limited, and especially if you want to see more of the city's surroundings, you may want to consider a tour.

There are tour operators which will offer hop-on hop-off tours of the city.
Usually they run every 30 min and visit the most interesting and attractive sights (12-20 sights). A complete turn takes usually 1:30 h and in rush days maybe you should book in advance.
Usually they offer English, French, and German translations (but have booklets in other languages)

15€ - 1 day; 22€ - 2 days (children half price)

This is in Parque da Nações area ( approx. 9km from the city centre and 2km from the airport). The area is well served with public transportation -is next to the railway, and is well served by city buses and metro station of the same name.
