Means of transport Lisbon Area

Accessible by metro with the yellow line, it mainly serves the northern suburbs. So you can reach Sintra or Queluz from this station. There are also connections with Santa Apolonia and Oriente. Thanks to the Alfa Pendular, you will be able to go to Braga or Guimarães (several departures per day). The Fertagus company will allow you to go to the beautiful beaches of the south or to Almada by crossing the bridge of April 25th.

On the Tagus, near Praça do Comércio, this river station provides a ferry connection with the southern railway line, whose trains leave from Barreiro, on the left bank of the Tagus. From Barreiro, you can go to Alentejo and Algarve: Beja, Évora, Faro, Vila Real St António and even, why not, in Seville. In Barreiro: rail connections to Setúbal, Alentejo and Algarve. The journey takes about 25 minutes to Barreiro.

These are the buses that connect Cascais to other nearby cities such as Sintra. From the bus station, located above the railway station (be very careful when crossing the Marginal), Scott Urb connects Cascais to Estoril (via the Cascais Shopping shopping centre), Guincho (buses: Nos. 405 and 415) and Sintra (via Cabo da Roca, bus: No. 403), by at least a dozen buses per day. There are also hourly connections to Lisbon airport (via Estoril station and the Colombo Trade Centre).

Cascais is the terminus of the coastal train line that leaves from Cais do Sodré (Lisbon). As it runs along the coast, the trip is quite pleasant. Remember to stand on your left side in the direction of travel to enjoy the view during the trip. The journey from Lisbon takes about 45 minutes. The train is often full in summer. Do not try not to pay, as there are very often controllers and the fine is very high. When leaving the station, you arrive directly in the centre of Cascais. You have to walk a little to get to the beaches.

If you don't feel like walking to the castle, you can take bus no. 434 (Circuito da Pena, 2 buses per hour from 10am to 7pm) which serves all the interesting places or no. 433 (Sintra Line) which goes around the city, as for the brave (scouts always!), they will take the time to discover on foot the famous chimneys of the old palace, the corners and corners of the old town like parks and multiple "quintas". Scotturb also provides connections to Cascais and Estoril (buses Nos. 417 and 418), while No. 403 passes through Cabo da Roca.

Ferries to Tróia, opening to Alentejo and Algarve, leave every 35 or 50 minutes day and night from the port of Setúbal, located near Avenida Todi. In summer, there are monster traffic jams every Friday and Sunday evening to come back. If you do not have a vehicle, we advise you to take the catamaran, faster and more frequent, it arrives directly in the marina (near the beaches). For the South, it is sometimes preferable to go around Alcácer do Sal, it is longer, but often a little faster!

From here, trains (Suburbano, Inter Regional and Inter Cidade) arrive from Barreiro (east of Almada, accessible from Lisbon by crossing the Tagus on the Transtejo ferry from Terreiro do Paço), either direct or serving local stations along the route. From Lisbon, you can take the Fertagus express train to Setúbal. It passes through Roma-Arreiro, Entre Campos and Sete Rios stations and takes 1 hour. This is the easiest and quickest way to get to Setúbal, unless you're already on the other side of the river.

Mafrense is now part of Carris. Several routes are available: Sintra, Mafra, Lisbon, as well as the various surrounding beaches. Several lines run to Ericeira, and are more or less direct. We recommend lines 2801 and 2803 or 2740 and 2741. It's not very well signposted in Campo Grande, so don't hesitate to ask someone. Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early, especially in summer when there's a long queue to board the bus. Please note that buses leaving from Ericeira may leave early.

Several return flights from Paris Orly 3, Nantes and Lyon with an increased frequency in high season. Transavia is one of the main low-cost companies to get to Lisbon. In low season, you can take your plane tickets up to 10 days before departure without any real price increase. Pretty good to know for a last-minute stay. In general, the flights have few delays (except in high season) and the service is correct. The airline is also less careful about carry-on baggage than other low-cost airlines.

The TST (Transporte Sul do Tejo) bus network is now part of the Carris company, and the entire fleet has been changed, now proudly sporting black and yellow. It's not easy to find your way around the website to find out about bus routes and timetables. You should also be aware that the drivers don't always stop at stations, so be sure to signal at the bus stop and on the bus when you want to get off.
