Cais do Sodré is Lisbon’s major bus, metro, trainstation ‘Linha de Cascais’ (name of the train line joining Lisbon to Cascais) and ferry terminal to Cacilhas , Seixal, Montijo and ferries to Trafaria and Porto Brandão (near the beaches of Caparica). Or maybe you prefer a cruise on the river Tagus?
Cais do Sodré is serving westbound suburban route to Estoril and Cascais, and subway or bus for any spot in Lisbon. It is adjacent to the Lisbon Metro station (website incl. network diagram & how to use the metro) of the same name which is the terminus for subway’s Green Line (Linha da Caravela).
Cais do Sodré is situated at Praça do Duque da Terceira (and his Statue) in central Lisbon on the bank of Tagus River. Although the official name is Duque da Terceira Square, everybody knows it by Cais do Sodré. Duque da Terceira was a hero in the Peninsular War (1807-1814) that united Portugal, Great Britain and later Spain against Napoleon. From here you can also take a ferry to river Tagus left bank to Cacilhas , for a walk along the river to the elevator of the famous Cristo Rei statue.
Lisbon, Cais do Sodré: Transtejo is the company responsible for the fluvial crossing of the Tagus River. People from the other side of the river have to cross it every day to work in Lisbon or in the environment.The company offers every 10 minutes a ferry to Cacilhas (Almada, district of Setubal), a return ticket cost 1,20 euro (2008). From Cacilhas you can take the bus to the beaches of Caparica.
Transtejo also has Tagus cruises, a tourist service with various types of ships as Catamarans and luxury ferry-boats. A mini cruise on the Tagus River overlooking the city is wonderful, especially at the end of the day the light is unforgettable.
