Cascais Holidays

City breaks to Cascais

You’ll find the town of Cascais just west of Portugal’s capital, Lisbon. As well as being a nearby neighbour to the big-name city, Cascais is probably best known for its throng of beaches – 17 in fact. Plus, it sits on the edge of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, which is well worth a daytrip. This massive area’s home to mountains, palaces and castles.

Visit the citadel on a royal retreat

For a throwback to the days when Cascais was the go-to holiday destination of the Portuguese royal family, head to the Citadel. This impressive area’s home to a palace and a 16th-century fortress. Plus, art lovers should be sure to visit the galleries that are dotted around the surrounding district.
