Discover the romanticism of the last century on an obligatory trip from the Sintra hills to Colares, with green vegetation and the smell of the sea air all around.
The Sintra tram is an ode to romanticism and a wink to Lisbon’s past. It links Sintra to Colares, via the serra, along a calm route ending at Praia das Maçãs.
The winding and panoramic route compels you to adopt a calm and contemplative mood.
Construction began in 1902 and after an unsettled period is now operating again at the weekends during the season.
The old trolleys are as romantic and elegant as ever and the descent from the hills provides plenty of photo opportunities and unique panoramas.
The rural route and the 190-metre descent forces the journey to be slow, so that you can appreciate this old and original form of travel even more.
