Itineraries
- Go from Rossio Station in Lisbon to Sintra by train
- Buy the rover ticket for the Greyhound bus that lets you travel in and beyond Sintra (there is a cheaper one for Sintra only)
- Use the local bus to see the town and the National Palace, the Castelo dos Mouros and the extraordinary Pena Palace.
- Take a bus from the station at Sintra to Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe
- Take a bus to Cascais (and very possibly eat there)
- Return by train to the Cais do Sodre station in Lisbon.
