Vila Alda - Casa do Eléctrico de Sintra

The inauguration of the railway line between Sintra and Lisbon in 1887 immediately sparked the desire of other towns to be served by modern means of transport. At the forefront of this aspiration was Colares, a town with considerable economic importance thanks to its fruit production and renowned wine. The tram line between Sintra and Praia das Maçãs was inaugurated on March 31, 1904, and extended to Azenhas do Mar in 1930, reaching its maximum length of 14.6 km. Thanks to the trams, many families had easier access to the beaches, many workers traveled to their jobs, and many products from the Colares region reached their destination. Currently managed by the local council, the line, considered by many to be the most romantic in Europe, has become a major tourist attraction in the region.     BilhetesAdulto 5,00€Jovens (dos 7 aos 18) 2,50€Munícipes 2,50€Sénior (+65 anos) 2,50€
