Cascais was originally formed as a summer getaway for the nobility of Portugal. For centuries, the town has kept its grand scheme and luxurious attractions. You can travel the cobblestone streets to see enormous mansions, shop at the finest stores, eat amazing fine Portuguese cuisine, and spend time on the pristine white-sand beaches that are just meters away from the town.

Tours are available for the historical sites located within the town. A large and ancient fort overlooks the town where visitors are welcome to visit during regular hours. There are also a few museums that hold many old artifacts. Cascais is only about a 30-minute drive from Lisbon.
