Question

Travel Tips?Travel Tips?

Answer

We highly recommend flying TAP Portugal for your trip. From our experience, it's best to book directly on their website rather than using third-party travel sites. When booking a round-trip flight, be sure to select your departing flight first, followed by your returning flight. The website will then calculate the total cost at the end of the process. Once you arrive in Lisbon, we recommend taking the metro to Lisbon Oriente Station. From there, you can catch a train to Sintra. The best train option is the Comboios de Portugal 18200 line, which departs every 20 minutes. The journey takes about 47 minutes and the cost ranges between €2 - €15. You can check departure times online at Rome2Rio. To take this urban train, you will need a Navegante Card. This card can be purchased at the train station and loaded with money or tickets. You can buy and load the card at either the manned ticket booths or ticket machines at the station. We hope this makes your trip to Sintra easier, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
