Getting to Sintra from Lisbon

Rail is the clearest starting point for a Lisbon–Sintra visit; the station sits below the historic centre and the hill sights require further planning.

Getting to Sintra from Lisbon

Why go

Arriving by train makes the town and its mountain attractions easier to separate into stages. Decide first whether to walk into the centre or connect onward, then check current rail and local transport information before relying on a particular service.

Useful to know

  • Check current CP train times and departure stations before leaving Lisbon.
  • From Sintra station, plan the onward climb or local connection separately from the rail journey.
  • Treat the historic tram toward Praia das Maçãs as a separate excursion and verify whether it is operating.
