Beaches, marina and refined seaside charm
Relevant destination information
Cascais began as a small fishing village in the twelfth century. In the late nineteenth century, the Portuguese royal family chose it as a summer residence, turning the town into an exclusive destination. The Citadel, the historic centre and the coastline still reflect this rich heritage.
Cascais has a cosmopolitan culture shaped by its seaside location and international community. Summer brings music festivals, art exhibitions and nautical events. The marina, seafood restaurants and lively cultural scene make it one of the Lisbon region’s most popular destinations.
