Sintra City Council is implementing temporary traffic restrictions in the town's historic centre starting Thursday, 19 March, to improve mobility and safety. Private vehicle access will be limited, and tourist buses must park in peripheral lots at Lourel and Ramalhão. The 'Living and Visiting the Town of Sintra' operation, running until 6 April, includes enhanced signage, operational control points, and redirected public transport routes. Mayor Marco Almeida stated the measures address long-standing concerns from residents and workers, aiming to restore the quality of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
