Cascais, once a humble fishing village, has evolved into an elegant coastal town on the Portuguese Riviera. Here you'll find a delightful blend of historic charm and cosmopolitan flair, visible in the Cidadela de Cascais and its modern marina. Explore the impressive rock formation Boca do Inferno and visit the Farol Museu de Santa Marta, offering insights into maritime history. In the 19th century, the town was a popular summer retreat for the Portuguese royal family, reflected in its magnificent villas. Relax on town beaches like Praia da Rainha or take advantage of its proximity to Praia do Guincho, a hotspot for wind and kitesurfers. The best time to visit is spring or autumn to enjoy mild temperatures and fewer crowds. From Cascais, excellent day trips to Sintra or Lisbon can also be made.
