Stops worth knowing on the way

Belém is the stop for the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, about 8 minutes from Cais do Sodré on trains that call at every station. At weekends and on weekdays outside the peaks every Cascais train stops there. In the weekday peaks (trains leaving Cascais from 06:50 to 09:05 and from 17:05 to 20:20) Cascais trains run fast and skip Belém; change at São Pedro do Estoril or Oeiras to an all-stops train. Estoril is the second stop out of Cascais, after Monte Estoril, if you want the Estoril seafront and casino. At Oeiras, platforms can change during the works: follow the station signs for your train.

Things that catch travellers out
