Culture by the beach in Portugal
With gorgeous sandy beaches, wonderful museums and galleries, a wealth of historic buildings and fantastic food, Cascais holidays pack quite a punch. Once the summer retreat for Portuguese royalty, Cascais today is a thriving coastal hotspot. Aside from its beautiful beaches, it has an old town with medieval architecture, cobbled streets, eye-catching whitewashed churches and a lively marina. While Portugal’s cool capital Lisbon is only a short journey away, there is more than enough in Cascais to keep families and couples interested.
There are historic buildings and local markets to be discovered, as well as a wealth of restaurants where sumptuous Portuguese cuisine is plated up. Just a couple of kilometres from the main town you’ll find Boca do Inferno, a fascinating cliff formation that will delight nature lovers. Whether it’s a treat for the eyes, the stomach, the soul or all three, holidays to Cascais are just the thing.
