Taxi, train or pre-booked transfer at LIS?
The train wins when it exists and your bags are manageable — metro (red line) from outside t1 ~25 min. The taxi rank wins for door-to-door simplicity, with meter risk at peak hours. The fixed-price pre-booked transfer wins when arrival timing matters: the driver tracks the flight, waits through delays, and the price never surges. After a night long-haul, that certainty is the product.
