We fell in love with Cascais<\/strong>, the pearl of the Portuguese coast just a few kilometers from Lisbon. Popular for its seafront<\/strong>, luxury hotels<\/strong> and cultural offerings<\/strong>, the city is sure to win you over. It’s one of Portugal’s most pleasant destinations.<\/p>\n\n

In this article, discover our 10 reasons<\/strong> why Cascais is a must-see destination.<\/p>\n\n

\"why<\/figure>\n\n

This opinion is completely independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n

Is Cascais worth a visit?<\/h2>\n\n

The answer is yes! We were won over by Cascais’ blend of history, culture and nature. This former fishing town, now a prestigious seaside resort, will seduce you with its authenticity, preserved despite its tourist development. On the program: museums, exceptional landscapes, beaches and gastronomy!<\/p>\n\n

We list the reasons in more detail below, or you can check out our selection of the city’s top attractions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

\"View<\/figure>\n\n

Reason 1 – Its lively historic center<\/h2>\n\n

We loved getting lost in the historic heart of Cascais! Its cobbled streets winding between traditional houses with colorful facades are a constant reminder of why we love Portugal so much. The city’s pretty squares are also worth a visit, such as Pra\u00e7a 5 de Outubro, perfect for a coffee and a view of the waterfront. We also recommend the Vila market, which is quite authentic. You can also take advantage of the center to go shopping.<\/p>\n\n

Reason 2 – Its urban and wild beaches<\/h2>\n\n

In our opinion, the beaches of Cascais are among the most beautiful in the Lisbon area. We particularly enjoyed the Praia da Duquesa and Praia da Rainha, which border the heart of the city. Here you’ll find calm waters, white sand and all the comforts of deckchairs or parasols for hire – the ideal place for family bathing. <\/p>\n\n

Nature lovers will love Praia do Guincho, a little further from the center. It’s a great place to surf and admire the ocean.<\/p>\n\n

We have had the opportunity to test several hotels in Cascais, and we can assure you that the resort’s hotel offer is attractive. Some accommodations have preserved the historic charm of the buildings while offering impeccable modern comforts, such as the Estoril Vintage Hotel<\/a>, where we enjoyed a delightfully elegant stay. <\/p>\n\n
