Getting there, tickets and how to plan the day. Each one is checked against official sources, with the date on the page.

40 minutes from Rossio, €2.55 each way, a train every half hour. Which station, what ticket, and what to do when you step off in Sintra.

Seventeen entry slots a day, thirty minutes apart, and the early ones go first. What each ticket covers, what it costs, and how far ahead you actually need to book.

Nine places worth your time, what each one costs, and how long it really takes. Plus the three things most first visits get wrong.
