Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Portugal

Lisbon, Portugal - Oct 12 - Oct 21, 2022 After a seven hour overnight transatlantic flight, we landed at 8:00 am in Lisbon. It was interesting that we were taken by bus from the airplane to the terminal and actually same happened when we departed at the end of our trip. In less than half an hour we were done with border formalities and already in front of the airport ready to begin our Lisbon adventure. Public transportation in Lisbon is very reliable and affordable. You will need to buy a " Viva Viagem " card from designated serviced kiosks or from automated machines usually found at subway and train terminals. It costs 0.50 Euro and is valid one year.

Taipei, Taiwan

Taiwan, Taipei Sep 26 - Oct 03, 2023 Public Transportation in Taipei Getting from Taouyan International Airport to Taipei downtown To travel from the airport to downtown Taipei by public transportation you can take the train, bus, taxi or metro. We found that the fastest way was by MRT metro. From Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 there is an Express Train and a Commuter Train that go all the way to Taipei Main Station. The ticket price is NT150 (New Taiwan Dollar) regardless which one you choose. The only difference is that the Express Train ride is 39 minutes and has only 4 stops while the Commuter ride is 53 minutes and stops at all 12 stations. The route map in the station will show that the metro ride is from A13 or A12 (Terminal 1 or 2) to A1 Taipei Main Station. Tickets can be purchased in cash at ticket machines or by Easycard or IPass. For this route, Airport to Taipei Main Station, is possible to tap on tap off with a credit card which we preferred, upon our arrival. The a...

Japan

Japan - Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Miyajima, Hiroshima, Nara, Inari - Aug 08 - 22, 2023 Getting from Narita International Airport to Tokyo Station There are many ways to travel to downtown Tokyo, by public transportation, train or bus. Keisei Skyliner Express train is the fastest, the trip is about 40 min and costs Y2,570 one way. The trip ends at Ueno Station. Second fastest is Narita Express train, about 50 min trip to downtown stations like Tokyo, Shibuya or Shinagawa and the cost is Y3,070. We looked for the cheapest option so we travelled by the airport bus TYO-NRT, it took 62 min but only cost us Y1,300 per person to Tokyo Station. The bus leaves from the bus platforms in front of Narita Airport and the final stop is at Tokyo Station Nihonbashi Gate. To get from Tokyo to Narita we took the bus from Tokyo Station Yaesu South Gate , platform 7,8 or 9. The buses run every 10 min and tickets for these buses at Narita can only be purchased at ticket counters which are usually located insi...
