Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival day: private pick-up at Lisbon Airport, quick vendor check-in (agenda item at Rua de Infantaria 16), then a short drive to Praça do Comércio for an accessible sit-down breakfast and brief orientation. Total service time: 2 hours.
Meet & Greet — Humberto Delgado Airport (Arrivals)
Driver will meet you inside the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name, assist with luggage and confirm the transfer details before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to wait inside the arrivals hall (not curbside) so you avoid steps and carry-on handling in the rain — most arrivals have level access from baggage claim.
- Airport accessible toilets are located in the arrivals area near baggage claim; tell the driver if you'd like a quick restroom stop before boarding the vehicle.
- If you use a mobility aid, let the operator know in advance — the driver can meet you at the most step-free gate/door and help with folding/storage.
Private Drive to I GO Portugal office (Rua de Infantaria 16)
Relax in an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi‑Fi and bottled water while the driver takes you to the local office for a short check-in. Luggage will be stowed and handled by the driver.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the onboard Wi‑Fi to message family/hotel or confirm onward details while you rest — it’s included on this transfer.
- Traffic in Lisbon can vary; this leg is planned with cushion time — if you prefer fewer stops, tell the driver and paperwork can be done at the office or in the vehicle.
- If you have bulky or extra luggage, mention it to the driver so they can position it for easy retrieval at the next stop (note the vendor allows 1 suitcase + 1 carry-on per traveler).
Quick Check-in & Luggage Assistance — I GO Portugal (agenda item)
Short visit to the vendor address listed in the activity agenda (Rua de Infantaria 16). Paperwork, confirmation of local contact details and any accessibility requests are handled here. Note the address is listed as 3º Floor — if stairs are difficult, the driver can complete formalities at the vehicle.
Tips from local experts:
- The agenda address notes a 3rd-floor office — if you prefer to avoid stairs, request the driver to handle check-in and to return paperwork by email or meet you at street level.
- Carry any important travel documents in an easily reachable bag; the driver can take luggage to the curb and bring only what’s needed for a short indoor check-in.
- If you use hearing amplification or need language support, ask for the local rep to speak clearly or provide written confirmation (I GO Portugal staff can operate in English, Portuguese and other languages).
Short Drive & Accessible Breakfast — Martinho da Arcada, Praça do Comércio
A short transfer to Praça do Comércio for a relaxed, seated breakfast at historic Martinho da Arcada. This gives a gentle introduction to central Lisbon and the riverfront with minimal walking and plenty of seating.

Tips from local experts:
- Martinho da Arcada has reserved seating areas; ask the staff for a table close to the entrance to avoid steps and cobbles — they are used to accommodating older guests.
- Choose a low-table option and order gently spiced items (e.g., Portuguese omelette, mild soups) if you have dietary sensitivities — staff can adapt dishes if needed.
- After breakfast, stay on the flat plaza for a brief orientation to the riverside — avoid the steep, cobbled alleys nearby; tell the driver where you want to be dropped off next (hotel, taxi rank or tramable spot).

Why this experience
A private airport-to-city transfer that meets you inside Lisbon's arrivals hall with a name sign, handles your luggage, and delivers you to a seated breakfast at Praça do Comércio within two hours of landing. This itinerary on TheNextGuide is built around the transfer service by IGO Portugal, designed for travelers who want to skip taxi queues and metro stairs and arrive at their first meal in Lisbon rested and oriented.
The driver meets you at the most step-free exit from baggage claim, loads luggage into an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi and bottled water, and handles a quick operator check-in before dropping you at Martinho da Arcada — one of Lisbon's oldest cafés, directly on the flat Praça do Comércio riverfront. The breakfast stop doubles as a gentle orientation: from your table you can see the Tagus, the Rua Augusta arch, and the tram stops that connect to the rest of the city.
No dragging suitcases through metro corridors. No negotiating with airport taxi ranks. Just a driver, a short ride, and breakfast at the riverfront.
