Sesimbra has no train station of its own, so getting there with a dog usually means a TST/Carris Metropolitana bus direct from Lisbon, or the Fertagus train to Setúbal followed by a bus or taxi. The nearest international airport is Lisbon Humberto Delgado (LIS), roughly 40 km away with no direct public transport link, so plan on a taxi, rideshare or rental car for the final stretch.
