Additional Information & Description
Sintra’s hilltop palaces and castles are the focus of this hop-on hop-off bus tour. Travel between the village and its major sights by public transport, stepping off to explore the places that interest you before continuing along the routes.
A 24-hour ticket for two bus lines
Your ticket includes the hop-on hop-off bus tour and access to lines 434 and 435 for 24 hours. You can get on and off as needed during that period, using the two lines to reach different parts of Sintra rather than following a single fixed sightseeing circuit. The ticket covers transport; entrance to monuments is not included. Visits inside the castles and palaces are therefore separate from the bus journey.
Line 434: the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace
Route 434 connects Sintra Station with Castelo dos Mouros, the Moorish Castle, and Palácio da Pena, or Pena Palace. Its circular route brings these two major landmarks into one circuit, with the palace perched on the hills above Sintra. This is the line for a journey centred on the castle and palace, with the flexibility to leave the bus at the sights you want to explore.
Line 435: Regaleira, Seteais and Monserrate
Route 435 connects Sintra Station with Quinta da Regaleira, Seteais Palace and Monserrate Palace, as well as Colares and Montes Santos. Quinta da Regaleira adds a different kind of visit to the itinerary: the 19th-century estate has gardens and tunnels to explore. This line extends the transport options beyond the castle-and-Pena circuit, reaching several other named destinations with the same bus ticket.
Stops for Sintra’s historic centre
Both routes pass through São Pedro de Sintra and Sintra Vila. These shared stops also give you room to explore the village itself, not just its monuments. Walk through the historic centre’s streets, where shops and cafés sit alongside the wider heritage setting of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Digital tickets and accessibility
Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. The bus tour is wheelchair accessible. Sintra Station is a connection point for both lines, linking the station with the sightseeing routes described above.
