Estação de Sintra

Until 1887, the only public transport to Sintra was the slow stagecoach that departed from the capital. The railway connection between Lisbon and Sintra was only inaugurated on April 2nd of that year. With the end of the Second World War, an investment program in rail transport began, seeking to reduce dependence on steam traction. The Sintra line was integrated into this plan, and electrification officially arrived on April 28, 1956, as part of the centenary celebrations of the railways in Portugal.  

Casa do Teatro de Sintra

This performance venue is located in the former Tivoli cinema, a notable example of early 20th-century architecture that gained traction with the arrival of the train in Sintra. The building was used as a warehouse and carpentry workshop and was later restored and converted to house the creation and presentation of theater shows.

News Museum

The NewsMuseum is an experiential space dedicated to news, media, and communication, occupying an 18th-century building that was formerly the Sintra Town Hall. In over 25 thematic modules, spread across the building’s three floors, episodes from the history of Portugal and the world are recalled through their journalistic coverage. The NewsMuseum aims to be an open window into the world of media and communication and their impact on society, employing a strong digital and technological component.     BilhetesAdulto (15-64 anos) 6,50€Criança (até aos 5 anos) gratuitoJovem (6 a 15 anos) 3,50€Sénior (maiores de 65) 3,50€Famílias (2 adultos +2 jovens) 17,00€
