Strollers in Lisbon: to use or not to use?

Is Lisbon a stroller-friendly city?

One of the most common questions from parents planning a trip to Lisbon is: Should we use a stroller in Lisbon? Is Lisbon stroller-friendly? The answer is a resounding YES and YES!

While it’s true that some areas in Lisbon can be challenging due to cobblestone streets, narrow sidewalks and occasional stairs, strollers remain a practical and popular choice for families. Lisbon is a family-oriented city and you’ll see plenty of strollers rolling around, even in the more historic neighborhoods.

And here's a tip! Use Google Maps' "Wheelchair Accessible" option to find walking routes that skip stairs, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable journey through the city's hills and historic streets.

Choosing the right stroller

Having the right stroller makes all the difference. Opt for one with larger wheels and good suspension to handle Lisbon's uneven terrain comfortably. If you’re concerned about traveling with your own stroller, consider stroller rental in Lisbon. Renting an all-terrain stroller ensures you’re fully prepared to explore the city’s iconic streets, parks and plazas.

Strollers and baby carriers: A perfect combo

In some areas, like Alfama's winding alleys or steep hills, space can be tight and the cobblestones may feel challenging. That’s where a baby carrier comes in handy. It’s a convenient backup allowing you to explore harder-to-reach spots while still having the stroller for longer walks and nap times. Many parents find that strollers are essential for allowing their little ones to rest while they continue sightseeing.

Tailoring the experience to your family

The decision to use a stroller ultimately depends on your plans and preferences. Factors like your accommodation's location, the duration of your stay, the neighborhoods you’ll visit and the activities you have planned all influence whether a stroller is the right choice.

Additionally, the type of stroller you choose can make all the difference. A basic stroller in Avenida Liberdade? Works great. In Chiado? Not that much. A basic stroller might be fine for more spacious, flat areas but for Lisbon's cobblestone streets and narrow, hilly neighborhoods, an all-terrain stroller with larger wheels and good suspension is much more suitable for navigating the city comfortably.

Why rent a stroller in Lisbon? 

Our recommendation? Don’t lug your stroller from home - rent one instead. Many families find themselves needing a stroller last minute because their airline lost or damaged theirs. To make your trip stress-free, we offer a wide range of strollers for rent in Lisbon, catering to all types of families and experiences.

It is important to respect the maximum weight that the stroller can support - not only to avoid damage, but also because it becomes much more difficult for parents (almost impossible) to drive a stroller with a child who is close to the weight limit or exceeds it. By renting a stroller, you can ensure that you have the right one that fits your child’s needs and weight.
