[Portugal] Cabo da Roca + Sintra 1-day sightseeing model course [Departing from Lisbon]

I visited Cabo da Roca + Sintra, which are must-visit places in Portugal, in one day, so I'll share the route I took 🌟 ⚠️The timetable may change. Please be sure to check for yourself when you go. 💡Train & Bus Tickets can only be purchased on the day. I went at 6:30. I was able to buy it smoothly because it was a weekday morning, but it will probably be crowded during the rush hour and during the day, so I recommend going to Rossio Station early. 📍Lisbon Rossio Station 🚃7:11 Depart Lisboa Rossio Station for Sintra 7:51 Arrive Sintra Station 🚶2-minute walk to Sintra (Estação). 🚌 Take bus 1253 from Sintra (Estação) to Cabo da Roca (about 40 minutes) 💰 2.6€ cash only (I was able to get on the bus that arrived earlier than expected, and arrived at 8:45 instead of the scheduled arrival time of around 9am!) 📍 Around 9:00 Sightseeing at Cabo da Roca, Cabo da Roca (about 1-1.5 hours) 💡 The tourist information center opens at 9:00, so apply for a certificate of reaching the westernmost point (11€) as soon as it opens! (I was the first one there and was able to get my name and date written right away!) 🚌 Take the 1253 to Sintra (Estação) around 10:15 (about 40 minutes) 💰 2.6€ cash only 🚌 Take the 434 from Sintra (Estação) to Palacio da Pena (about 20 minutes) ⚠️ I got caught in traffic and arrived later than planned. It is recommended that you allow yourself plenty of time when booking tickets to Pena Palace. 📍 12:30 Pena Palace (about 1 hour and 30 minutes including walking through the gardens) 🎫 Time specified 💡 It takes 15 to 30 minutes from the gardens to the palace. (There is a paid bus that takes about 3 minutes) Make sure to take that time into consideration when buying your palace ticket. 🚶About 10 minutes walk to the Moorish Castle 📍14:00 Moorish Castle (about 40 minutes) 🎫Specify date 🚌From Castelo dos Mouros, take the 434 to Sintra Villa (Centro Historico) (about 10 minutes) 📍15:30 Sintra Palace (about 1 hour) 🎫Specify date 🚶Walk around the old town of Sintra to Regaleira Palace (about 15 minutes) (It takes about 5 minutes by bus 435, but when I went, I was told that the bus was not running for some reason) 📍17:00 Regaleira (about 1.5 hours) 🎫Specify time 🚶About 15 minutes walk to Sintra Villa (Centro Historico) 🚌From Sintra Villa (Centro Historico), take the 434 to Sintra (Estação) 🚃 Leave Sintra Station after 7pm to Lisboa Rossio Station (about 40 minutes) 💡 Tips If you buy tickets to the above spots (Pena Palace, Moorish Castle, Sintra Palace) together, you can get a discount.
