Take the train from Lisbon's Rossio Station. It's affordable, frequent, and drops you near the historic center.

Use the 434 tourist bus to navigate steep hills, or use ride-sharing apps, though buses are most efficient for major sites.

Yes, but start early at Pena Palace to avoid crowds, then head to Regaleira in the afternoon for a more relaxed pace.
