I'm assuming we'll still need a negative test to return to the USA. Already vaccinated.

Does anyone know where we can get a Covid tests in Porto or Lisbon (or anywhere) on a Saturday or Sunday and receive the results by Monday August 30? We leave early on August 31.

Do the airports in either location offer "quick" results?

All help and suggestion welcome. Will travel for test.

Hi I assume you're american or have a permanent visa for the states? you need a lateral flow or PCR test no less than 72 hours prior to arrival details here:

There are various choices and providers but I'd check with your airline as they often have discounts

i believe in Lisbon you can get tested at the airport but you need an appointment. my friend’s son went there before he went back to the UK. i think all you need is a rapid antigen test to go back to the US and the pharmacies can do that…
