The Sintra tramway is a seasonal narrow gauge tourist tram line in Portugal.

The line opened in 1904 over the 11.7 kilometres (7.3 mi) between Sintra railway station and Praia das Maçãs.

[2] In 1930, the line was extended by 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Praia das Maças to Azenhas do Mar, but this extension survived only until 1954.

[3] Following denationalisation of Portugal's provincial bus services in the 1990s, ownership of the line was taken over by Stagecoach Portugal, but the tram services—which operated only during the tourist season—was later handed over to the Municipality of Sintra, which re-extended the line over its long-abandoned formation from Ribeira to central Sintra.

[citation needed] Damage to the infrastructure occurred in late 2011 when a tree fell on the line and a 1 km (0.62 mi) stretch of overhead copper cables was stolen, costing the council €150,000.
