Limitations of the 7 Colinas Card
7 Colinas Card
The card is for personal use and cannot be shared by several people. Each person travelling has to buy their own card in order to get the discounts.
Price of journeys
Due to the number of fares in place, it would be crazy to try to explain the fares. There are single tickets, doubles, metro/bus combined, for one or two zones, etc.
To avoid confusion, and for convenience, focus on the two basic options: the single ticket and the daily fare.
Single Ticket
The price of a single ticket using the 7 Colinas Card for the Carris network (Trams, Buses and Lifts) is €0.81, and the price of a single ticket on the Metro is €0.80. Carris network cards are topped up in newspaper stands, and metro cards in metro stations.
Daily fare
The price of a whole day is €3.70, and can be topped up in both newspaper stands and metro stations.
Even though it's only for comfort, we recommend buying the 7 Colinas Card, and topping it up daily. If it’s for the first or last day, and it’s not worth buying the daily fare, the best thing is to top up a single ticket.
