The culture
If traveling for you is all about absorbing knowledge, know that Cascais will not give you a minute's rest, because there are countless activities to do. To start, at the Museum Quarter you have 18 spaces to visit (yes, you read it right, 18), where you will have the opportunity to explore a diverse selection, showing either fantastic summer houses from the 19th century, or works by the prestigious artist Paula Rego.
Entertainment
The bohemian spirit is part of Cascais' DNA, had it not been a summer resort for the aristocracy, who came here for lively parties. Centuries gone by, the classy moments of entertainment still exist, on esplanades such as the one from Farol Hotel, a restored 19th century mansion, which, facing the sea, is just one of the places where you can sip a delicious cocktail. At Casino Estoril, which was the first and largest in Europe, you can gamble your luck, but don't forget to take a look at the show room. Also take a look at the cultural agenda of Cascais, which is always full of events that will never leave you bored.
The charm
In this fairy-tale town, even the houses are an element of contemplation: from the palaces to the neat, flower-covered houses with their colourful doors, everything is an excuse to stop and observe. All the details of this place bathed by the sea create a charming atmosphere, where it is impossible not to be invaded by a wave of positive energies. The chalets coexist with urban art, the old coexists with the modern. The mountains coexist with the sea.
The fresh air
Breathe in and out deeply, and immerse yourself in the pure air of the mountains and the sea. With good weather always guaranteed, make the most of these serenity's best friends, swapping a night on land for a night aboard a sailboat or catamaran.
