Cascais

Cascais, a gem on Portugal’s Estoril Coast, is a charming seaside town that beautifully combines history and natural beauty. Originally a humble fishing village, Cascais has evolved into a cosmopolitan getaway while still preserving its traditional charm.

The town features stunning golden beaches, such as Praia da Rainha and Praia do Guincho, which are perfect for relaxation and adventure, offering ideal spots for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing. The lively marina and promenade are excellent for strolls, lined with cafés, restaurants, and boutiques.

For a taste of local culture, visit the Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães, located in a picturesque mansion, or wander through the historic streets to admire the colourful tiled buildings and bustling squares. Just a short distance away, dramatic natural landmarks like Boca do Inferno and the lush landscapes of Sintra provide memorable day trip opportunities.
