2025 Cascais Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent If you go to Portugal, getting a tan in Cascais is a must🫶🏽 Cascais is a city that can be reached in about 30-40 minutes from Lisbon🇵🇹 I wanted to visit places that locals go to in Lisbon. That's why I visited Cascais! This is a place where Lisbon people go for a vacation. It was hot and humid even in April, so it was full of people swimming. There was also a place to wash up, so I was able to enjoy tanning and swimming on the beach.🩵 📍Cascais Cascais / Praia da Rainha, Cascais, Portugal #Europe #EuropeTravel #Portugal #Lisbon #LisbonTravel #PortugalBeach #Cascais #lisbon #portugal #europetrip

#100 Ways to Travel A day trip to #Sintra, Portugal, took a car away from the end of the world #Cabo de Roca, and unexpectedly encountered Kenting #Cascais in Lisbon, a seaside resort town with a beautiful coastline and traditional Portuguese architecture. Cascais forms a ring with Cabo da Roca and Sintra, and is usually included in a day trip itinerary. The train then connects to the Belém district and returns to Lisbon. Alternatively, you can stay overnight and enjoy the beach and eat egg tarts in Belém the next day, which gives you plenty of time to do. After exiting the train station, you will first come to Cascais’ pedestrian shopping street and #10月5日方Praca 5 de Outubro. The blue and white floor tiles are arranged in a wavy shape, which looks particularly cool in photos. You can also stop by McDonald’s to buy a cup of peach black tea. Cross the old town and you will arrive at Praia da Riberia Beach. The soft sand and palm trees, under the sunlight, the light and shadows are staggered, which is quite beautiful! You can also visit the nearby sea cave Boca do Inferno and Cidadela de Cascais Castle. #PortugalFreeTravel #Cascais #Lisbon #cascais #lisbon #100WaysToTravel

Boca do Inferno is a sea-eroded cave not far from the city of Cascais. It is famous for its rumbling sound when the waves wash into the cave during high tide😎                  —— The coastline along this area is beautiful, with many strangely shaped black boulders and cliffs, which are perfect for overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or enjoying the sunset🌅                  —— Walk slowly along the seaside, about 20 minutes to reach the mouth of hell, up close watching the giant waves hitting the rocks, really shocking and beautiful 🥹 worth a visit!                  —— #Naturalscapes #100 Ways to Travel

Cascais and Estoril.

Cascais is an undeniable luxury beach that you must visit if you are staying in Lisbon, Portugal! It is located about 30km west of the capital city of Lisbon, so it is quite convenient to get to. It has a very familiar feel, similar to Haeundae in Busan and Repulse Bay in Hong Kong!

Joined a fishing tour in Portugal, 75€ per person (at least 2 persons) for 4 hours fishing, the crew will show you how to do it in case you have no experience just like me 😅 It was a good moment especially the weather was great ☀️ It’s my first time fishing, had a bit seasick but the crew was nice, provided me sparkling water and some snacks. And luckily there were many fishes, didn’t expect to catch them easily lol Overall it’s a nice experience even we ended up leaving earlier due to seasickness, we could take the fishes home but we decided not to, and gave all the fishes we caught to the captain. 🙂 Getting There - Train from Lisbon, 4.50€ round trip #fishing #portugal #cascais #wateractivities #europe

It's a place you can reach by taking a train from Lisbon for about thirty minutes. Europeans also say that it's a beach where they come to rest. It's so quiet, so comfortable, and happy.. You can lie down on the beach, get a tan, play in the water, and even experience yoga as an activity~~! #European travel #Hot place #Portugal

#museu Condes de Castro Guimarães #cascais #portugal is whimsical early-19th-century mansion, complete with castle turrets and Arabic cloister. #unforgetabletrip #architecture #happynewyear

Palácio Seixas is symbol of the city of #cascais, this manor was built in th site of the fortress of Foz on 1916 #portugal This manor has all the feel of a fairytale castle, set on the edge of the sea which you can walk around escorted by families of ducks, chickens and cockerels! although you can't go inside, outside is worthy of photographs especially from the sea-side where the sea flows in under the bridge at high tide creating a moat around the base of the castle. #inspiration #happynewyear

The Casa das Historias Paula Rego museum in #cascais with dominating features of the complex are the two towers which closely resemble chimney also painted the powerful red colour. Visitors must take time to stroll the beautiful garden. These towers were inspired by the characteristic shape of the National Palace of Sintra which again has two district chimney towers #portugal. #inspiration #architecture #happynewyear #happynewyear

The #boca do Inferno is an interesting cliff formation close to #cascais #portugal , which has been given an overly dramatic name of Hell’s Mouth. The ceaseless pounding of the Atlantic Ocean on the cliffs chiselled out a small cave, which subsequently collapsed forming a small bay and natural arch. #unforgetabletri #cliff #happynewyear

The #citadel of #cascais is a set of fortifications built between the 15th and 17th centuries to defend the Cascais coastline and River Tagus estuary and to protect against attacks on the capital #portugal #scenicspotguide #fortress #happynewyear

#cascais #old town Square, it is coastal resort town in #portugal, just west of Lisbon. It’s known for its sandy beaches, busy marina and beautiful gardens. #unforgetabletrip #oldtown #culture

[Cascais] For me, Cascais is a strange town, but as a must-have for a few tens of minutes to go back to Lisbon, I found this It is an extremely comfortable coastal town, which reminds me of Nice in the south of France, It takes only 10 minutes to walk to the beach and the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean is less than 10 minutes. This city is extraordinarily young but it was built in 1364 but it is completely different from the old Lisbon, the population is only 180,000 people, and the area is only 97.4 square kilometers. This is a leisurely fishing port and seaside resort, although the city looks new, but in the city you can find churches and 17th century castles (it used to be the official residence of the Portuguese president). After coming to Cascais, you will find that everyone's standard of living is of high quality, there is no such thing as rich people, comfortable small city plus Atlantic beauty, and gentle and mild climate There is such an ideal environment, of course, it has long been occupied by the rich. The ancient city of Cascais is very well preserved, exquisite and delicate, and the skill of repairing, is also a day at the seaside. A good place to go for a chat after sunbathing and enjoy the food.

one of the beautiful day in my life

Cascais, 1 hour away from Lisbon by train, is a relaxing seaside scenic spot. Walk along the coastline from the train station, pass the beach, Cascais Castle, and the yacht port, and finally reach the natural landscape of the Mouth of Hell. The castle is a local landmark and you can buy a ticket to visit. The beach in summer is set off by the castle, which is unique and freehand. #Portugal #Cascais #JulyPostCommentEvent2025

Magnificent beach in Cascais, Portugal #travel #seascapes

Let’s go on a day trip. This time, to the beach town of Cascáis, located about an hour’s train ride from Lisbon. This charming seaside town feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city, even though it’s within the Lisbon metropolitan area. It’s part of what has been dubbed the Portuguese riviera but it hasn’t been saturated by tourism. Your first stop has to be finding and admiring the Santa Maria lighthouse. With its blue and white stripes, this lighthouse really makes for the picture postcard view. Set back in a little cove, it’s not unusual to find people swimming here in these serene surroundings. The town has many pretty buildings and a cool, laid back vibe. The perfect place to wander around and relax. With cascáis being located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, a walk along the coast line is a must whilst visiting this town. Watching the waves roll and sometimes crash in from the Atlantic is a spectacular sight. I felt like I could spend hours here pondering over the natural beauty that can be found in life. A word of caution if you get too close to the waves though - you could end up soaked! I enjoyed all of this whilst jetting away with just a backpack - no suitcases in sight! One essential that I always have to take with me is my camera - in this instance, a Sony Alpha 7 IV. I’d be lost without it, especially in capturing the stunning views that can be seen across the ocean and beyond! #backpackeressentials #portugal #cascais #beach #ocean #travel #citybreak #holiday #vacation

Wandering through Lisbon has been magical, but nothing compares to ending the day here—with our feet in the sand and the Atlantic breeze in our hair. We’ve laughed, explored, and soaked up the sun… and now, as the sun dips into the horizon, we’re reminded how beautiful it is to pause and just be. Grateful for this time together, for this city that feels like poetry, and for the kind of love that makes every sunset more golden. Here’s to many more beach days, barefoot adventures, and memories made in places we’ve never been. #LisbonLove #BeachSunsets #MeAndUTravels #TravelTogether #CoupleAdventures #GoldenHourMagic #RomanticDestinations #TravelWithLove #EuropeGetaway #PortugalViews #WanderlustCouple #SunsetVibes #BeachBliss #MakingMemories#couplestrip

Cascais is a seafood lover’s paradise! 🦞 Indulge in freshly grilled octopus drizzled with olive oil, buttery clams cooked in white wine, or the famous arroz de marisco—a rich, flavorful seafood rice stew. Sit by the water, enjoy a crisp glass of Portuguese wine, and watch the fishing boats come in with the day’s catch. Dining in Cascais is an experience full of flavors and ocean views! 🍷 #springwander

Cascais is where history meets the sea! 🏖️ Explore the charming old town with its cobbled streets and colorful houses, then visit the grand Palácio da Cidadela, a fortress-turned-palace overlooking the marina.
