Navegante — the transport card of the Lisbon metropolitan area

A plastic card you load a travel pass onto for the metro, buses, trams, trains and ferries in and around Lisbon. You can order it at an operator's ticket office, or on the website or in the app with home delivery; the card itself costs money, but for children and young people aged up to 23 the pass on it is free.

Where you come across it. The first weeks after moving to Lisbon; getting a travel pass for a child or a student.
You can get the free pass on only one card: either Navegante or the CP card. You can't have it on both at once.
