About the Cais do Sodré – Montijo crossing
Twenty-eight sailings a day, seven days a week, leaving Cais do Sodré from 06.30 with the last boat to Montijo at 23.15. Seven nautical miles, 25 minutes.
Two more sailings come back than go out
The return direction is scheduled 30 times against 28 outbound, and it starts half an hour earlier at 06.00 — the pattern of a commuter route where the morning peak runs south-to-north and the evening one reverses it.
What the terminal is
Cais do Sodré is TTSL's busiest interchange, open 05.15 to 01.40 and handling the Cacilhas and Seixal lines alongside this one. It sits directly on the Metro green line and the Cascais railway, which is why the ferry can compete with a 30 km drive over the Vasco da Gama bridge. Fines for travelling with an unvalidated ticket run from €30 to €350, halved if settled within fifteen working days.
