How do I get from Lisbon airport to Cascais?

Q: How do I get from Lisbon airport to Cascais?

Metro and CP train to Cascais: €4.95 for one traveler, 58–75 min. It leaves you at Cascais, changing from the red line to the green line at Alameda, then from the metro to CP's own trains at Cais do Sodré. The metro to Cais do Sodré, changing at Alameda, then CP's own train to Cascais: about 65 minutes and EUR 4.95 the first time (a reusable Navegante card is EUR 0.50 of that). CP's trains run from 05:30 to about 01:30 every 15 to 30 minutes, so the timetable is rarely the problem — the change of network, and the second ticket, is.

EUR 0.50 for a reusable Navegante Ocasional card, if you do not already hold one from the metro fare, plus EUR 1.90 for the metro's own single on that card and EUR 2.55 for CP's single on to Cascais — EUR 4.95 the first time, EUR 4.45 on a card already loaded. The same card pays for both legs; CP does not take the metro gate's contactless bank-card tap.

Luggage. No stated limit on either the metro or CP's trains.

Hours. The metro itself runs 06:30 to 01:00 and CP's own trains to Cascais nearly as late (05:30 to about 01:30), but a late metro leaves too little time to change at Alameda and again at Cais do Sodré before the last one; treat 23:00 as the safe last departure from the airport for this chain.
