Sintra Tram
Elétrico de Sintra
A vintage tram line opened in 1904 that runs from the outskirts of Sintra through countryside and vineyards to the seaside at Praia das Maçãs, about 45 minutes in total.
The Sintra Tram line is about 11 km long. It starts near Estefânia on the outskirts of Sintra and ends at Praia das Maçãs. Along the way it passes the Colares wine region and rural halts, and the carriages are early-20th-century wooden trams. Operating times are not fixed; it usually runs Friday to Sunday and in summer, with only a few trips a day, so check the latest timetable before setting out. It pairs well with the beach and Azenhas do Mar in summer.
