Just outside Porta da Vila near the bus stop,
helpful multilingual staff offer town brochures and maps in four languages. Bike rentals
(per day/half day €10.10/5.05) are also available; it also rents strange little buggies that
aren't a great match to the medieval town.
Getting There & Away
BUS
Buses stop on the main road just outside Porta da Vila. There are frequent departures for
Peniche (€3.15, 40 minutes) and hourly weekday runs to Lisbon (€8.15, 65 minutes), plus
five on Saturday and Sunday.
CAR & MOTORCYCLE
There is a fee-charging car park just outside the gate, while the one just across the road is
free.

There are at least six daily trains to Lisbon (€8.45 to €9.30, 2½ hours) mostly via connec-
tions at Mira Sintra-Meleças station on the suburban Lisbon line. The station is located at
the foot of the castle end of town. It's a pretty but uphill walk to town.
