Known for its beach coast, Marina, commerce and aristocratic culture, the Cascais village is considered one of the most sophisticated destinations in Portugal, bathed by the sun and the sea at its feet.
Beaches
Cascais, on the Portuguese west coast, at the extreme point of Continental Europe, is a bathing area par excellence. On a 30 km sea coast there are several beaches to choose from, some with wilder features and surrounded by a beautiful scenery of dunes and mountains, others closer to the town center and accessible on foot. Whatever the option, in addition to good dives and sunbathing, there are a multitude of water sports that can be practiced.
Historic center
There are restaurants, bars, shops and traditional shops, still very present in the village; there is a connection to the sea, the roots of a land (also) of fishermen and the bay from which boats leave for the high seas every day; and then there are the streets and alleys in the center, the fortress, the museums and the gardens. The sum of all parts results in a very rich, beautiful historic center, alive with the excitement of the first rays of the sun until, well, until the sun comes up again.
Nature
Like many neighboring cities with capitals around the world, Cascais continues to be, no matter how much urban development it has, a point of contact with nature. This can be seen not only in the urban gardens, but also in the magnificent Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais, on the beautiful road that links the Cascais Marina to Praia do Guincho, as well as on the several beaches. Breathing fresh air? It is in Cascais, without a doubt.
