Cascais questions

How do you get from Lisbon to Cascais?

Take the Cascais line train from Cais do Sodré station. It runs frequently and follows the coast.

Can you visit Cascais and Sintra in one day?

Yes, bus 403 links them via Cabo da Roca, but it makes for a long day. Many travellers split them.
