Please suggest a Covid testing location, if possible in the Chiado district of Lisbon. I would like to make an appointment for a test prior to flying back to the United States. Thank you.

There are lots of pharmacies in Lisbon that do testing. Google it, or ask your hotel for the one closest to you. We booked our test the day before departure for the US without a problem.

I returned from Lisbon yesterday and got an antigen test at the Lisbon airport- simply arrive at the airport early(about 3 hours prior to flight) and the results are emailed to you about a half hour later. Very cheap- only $25. Highly recommended!

depends where you are staying.
If you are relatively central - near Rossio, rue Augusta, Avenida Libertade - just north of the Rossio train station on the east side is a temporary facility where you can walk in or make an online appointment. It is associated with the Farmacia Estacio - right behind it. Very easy, friendly, efficient, and oddly - free. We got our results 2h later (need them within one calendar day of time of first departure en route to USA). Can also stop by the physical farmacia to get a printed copy.

I would have the same question but departing from Porto instead of Lisbon.

Joseph,
There is a Farmácia Estácio at Praça dos Restauradores 15, which is next to the Restaurdores Station. I that what you mean?

Ditto for recommendations for Porto. I will also be leaving from there.

It would seem that the pharmacy system in Portugal is doing a great job providing exit test for tourists. I will be staying in the Principe Real and have found a number of farmicias which will provide the rapid test. https://www.farmaciasportuguesas.pt/catalogo/
It looks like you can do the scheduling online after you find one that is convenient.
Hope this helps

Looks like it costs $115 per the website of pharmacies in Porto, where we'll be. I did read about the free covid testing spots but it sounds like that is only for local residents. I had previously read a report of staff from thepointsguy.com saying the cost in June 2021 in Porto was between $30-60 at local pharmacies.
Any recent reports of cost and experiences in Porto?

Out of Porto last August, the fee was $25.
