About Cascais

Just 20 miles west of Lisbon, Cascais was once a former fishing village, but became a cosmopolitan resort when the Portuguese King made it his summer retreat in the late 1800s. The nobility soon followed him, and as a result elegant 19th-century mansions now line the cobbled pedestrian streets of the historic centre and seafront.

Today, it’s a place for everyone, with the people of Lisbon and surroundings heading in its direction whenever they want some beach lounging, a dip in the cooling Atlantic waters, a rich seafood meal, or simply a stroll by the sea.

Cascais isn’t just a town of sand, sea and surf, it’s also home to a growing number of cultural attractions, together with world-class hotels, a mild climate and stunning beaches.
