Beyond Lisbon's outskirts lies the coastal gem of Cascais, its breezy beaches and culture-rich charm encapsulating Portugal's essence. Along the shimmering Marina de Cascais, sleek yachts float by as you indulge in tender grilled sardines and chilled vinho verde at a waterfront café. The aromas of freshly baked pastéis de nata beckon through alleys dotted with vibrant azulejo tiles that weave up to the formidable Citadel.
Once a 16th century fortress guarding the mouth of the Tagus, today the impressive stronghold houses museums exploring the region's marine legacy interwoven with flourishing gardens overlooking the sea. Discover the historic heart of Cascais - a patchwork of lively plazas full of street musicians and cozy taverns spilling laughter into the night.
Further afield, the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park tempts with its wild windswept cliffs, secluded sandy coves and scenic coastal trails. Or catch a wave and mingle with surfers drawn to these same shores for generations. Through endless golden sunsets, charming local festivals or just long lazy days at the beach, Cascais effortlessly brings Portugal's allure to life.
