We drove there from Sintra and had a wonderful time walking around the waterfront, eating lunch, strolling with ice cream!

This is a place I would like to go back to and spend some time. The beaches were beautiful with many restaurants along the boardwalk. So many streets to explore.

We spent there whole day and enjoyed even that most of the Cascais seaside is rocky so it's impossible to swim in the sea.Whoever is going to spend a day there I'd advise to rent a bike or motorbike so you could admire wider stoning coastline.

Great history with shopping and beaches, you can watch the fisherman go out in the morning and sunbathe all day.

It's a perfect place for getting away from Lisbon, enjoying the sun and sea. I really loved just sitting my the sea cliff and just watching sailboats pass. Watched locals fishing. We ate lunch at a very pretty place in the center of town. Good for people watching.

When the tide is in, the wave crash over the boardwalk. We took the train from Lisbon and walked back two stations with fine restaurants.

A must see when in Portugal. It is a sea side little city about three block center radius. Cute with a Lighthouse in the sea rocks that is beautiful. Very touristy but really nice and cute. I enjoued very much our visit, which we did in a public transport bus for 3 euros each. Don't fall for the touristy pricey... More

We were in Cascais for 3 days and it's a gem! From the hotels to the restaurants and of course the beaches, it's all amazing. The Guincho beach it's one of the most beautiful beaches we ever seen, good for surfing and kitesurfing.

A nice day trip to get away from the city and see the coast. Located within a half hour of Lisbon; we took a hop on/hop off bus that started in the city. Give yourself a half day to get there and casually stroll around. There aren't too many major attractions; the attraction is the location itself. There are some... More
