Lisbon's Yellow Line — Highlights by Metro

The Linha Amarela runs from Rato, on the edge of the old town, out to Odivelas in the northern suburbs. Pick a station to see which sights are within walking distance.

Walking times are estimates based on straight-line distance to the station, not official route directions. Station positions are plotted from public records; use the Google Maps link on each card for precise navigation.
FaresNavegante card €0.50 · single ride €1.85 · day pass €7.00 (same network-wide pricing as the other three lines)
Frequency & hoursEvery 5–7 minutes on weekdays, running from 6:30 to 1:00
TransfersMarquês de Pombal (Blue Line) · Saldanha (Red Line) · Campo Grande (Green Line)
From the old town to the northern suburbs

The Yellow Line's first two stops, Rato and Marquês de Pombal, sit right on the edge of the historic center, so several sights here (the Botanical Garden, Príncipe Real, Parque Eduardo VII, Avenida da Liberdade) are the same ones reachable from the Blue Line a few streets over — this is simply another way in from the north side. From Picoas through Entre Campos and Cidade Universitária, the line runs through office and university districts with nothing documented worth a special walk. Campo Grande, Quinta das Conchas, Lumiar, Ameixoeira, Senhor Roubado, and Odivelas are residential suburbs; nothing beyond Campo Grande's own sights (shared with the Green Line, which also stops there) is documented for this stretch.

Stations: Rato, Marquês de Pombal, Picoas, Saldanha, Campo Pequeno, Entre Campos, Cidade Universitária, Campo Grande, Quinta das Conchas, Lumiar, Ameixoeira, Senhor Roubado, Odivelas.
