Taxi: Lisbon to Sintra
 

Greetings,
I may have to take a taxi from the Lisbon airport to Sintra, any ideas how much it would cost me?
Let me know the currency you're using to give me the cost.
Obrigada!

topping for rozelle

Forgive my ignorance but I'm not very web-savvy, what does topping mean?
Sorry :)

I'm sorry to not provide a true answer to your question, but have you inquired with the place you are staying to see if they will pick up and at what cost?

Why are you taking a bloody taxi, sweetie, from Lisboa Airport to Sintra?? You take a cab to Rossio Station, then take the train to Sintra. Taking a cab from Lisboa to Sintra must cost a bloody fortune, as Sintra is 45 minutes from Liboa. Are you coming in at night and afraid to take the train?? Otherwise, taking a cab to Sintra is daft.

A few years ago, my hotel in Lisboa offered a car service to Sintra. When I was told the cost, I screamed, "I said car service to Sintra, not bloody airfare!"

My ex-husband, Rogerio, lives in Lapa, so I know the city quite well.

Bom Dia,
John G.

Does anyone know the cost of a taxi to Sintra from the Lisbon airport?? I understand it is much easier/cheaper to take the train, yet I am still interested in knowing the cost of a taxi.
Thanks!

I took the train from Lisboa to Sintra. Then I hired a taxi at the Sintra station to drive me to the castle, wait while I did my tour, then drive me back to the station. The taxi fare was less than the price of lunch, and the train fare was less than that.

To paraphrase someone(?) from somewhere(?): if you need to know the price of a taxi from Lisboa to Sintra you should not be doing it.

I don't have any direct experience, but I recently read on some Sintra hotel's website that it was around € 40 and that it took 50 minutes to travel from Lisbon airport to this particular Sintra hotel.

By the way, re 'topping': The threads containing recent posts appear at the top of the Fodor queue; they are then gradually 'demoted' to lower positions in the queue by threads with yet more recent posts. Although one can easily access more than just the 50 most recently posted threads, some people feel that the top 50 get the most responses.

A couple of years ago my husband and I stayed in Cascais, about 35 minutes No. of Lisbon. We took a bus to Sintra from Cascais main station. Maybe, depending on your time frame, you might want to consider this. Otherwise, do the train.
Good Luck

Take a taxi from the airport to "Rossio" Station, then take a train to Sintra. You may see this site:

40 to 50 euros is a good estimate
