We leave for Portugal in a few days. We start our trip with two nights in Sintra. Right now, the palaces are all closed due to striking workers. I'm told they "should" be open next week, which at that point, I feel like the palaces will be even more busy. I'm really not that interested in Sintra sans palaces, but my inn is booked. Train workers are also striking. Other than UBER from the Lisbon airport, I am not seeing any other way to get to Sintra if the trains are cancelled. That would be a lengthy UBER ride. When we leave Sintra we do pick up a car for a few weeks, so hopefully the train issues will be resolved by the time we need them again.
Suggestions? Any other way to get to Sintra besides UBER if the trains are cancelled? Is there any rhyme or reason in terms of what trains are cancelled and any notice given? We arrive the Lisbon airport in the morning.
