Cascais is the aristocratic jewel of Portugal's Atlantic coast. What began as a humble fishing village evolved in the late 19th century into the summer retreat of the Portuguese royal family and European nobility. Today it blends an elegant historic center of cobbled lanes with imposing ocean cliffs, 19th-century mansions turned into museums, top-quality seafood cuisine and a relaxed, cosmopolitan coastal lifestyle.

The Secret of the Santa Marta Cove
The small tidal cove beneath the bridge between the Museu Castro Guimarães and the lighthouse offers one of the most beautiful photo scenes at sunrise or at high tide.
Cresmina Dune Viewpoint at Dusk
For a magical evening away from the crowds, have a drink at the wooden viewpoint bar on the Cresmina boardwalks watching the sun sink into the Atlantic.
Restaurant Hours
Lunch is usually served from 12:30 to 14:30 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:00. Although there are some all-day options, the best seafood restaurants close their kitchens relatively early.
The 'Couvert' on the Table
The bread, butter, sardine pâté or little cheeses brought when you sit down are not a courtesy of the house; if you eat them they will be added to the bill (the cost is usually modest and is listed on the menu).
Excellent Water Quality
Tap water in Cascais is of optimal quality, completely drinkable and subject to strict European health controls.
Sun Protection and Wind
The sea breeze may stop you from feeling the heat, but the UV index is intense in summer; always use biodegradable sunscreen and sunglasses.
General Peace of Mind
Cascais is one of the safest municipalities in Europe. You can stroll in complete calm even late at night.
Beware of Waves at the Cliffs
At spots such as Boca do Inferno or the Guincho viewpoints, never climb over the safety railings: Atlantic waves and gusts of wind can be sudden and merciless.
