Cascais Holidays

Cascais, an ancient fishing village on the road to Lisbon, forms part of what has been dubbed the Portuguese Riviera. Thanks to its stunning seaside location, Cascais has served as a luxurious summer retreat for Portuguese kings and even today, its long beaches – such as gorgeous Guincho – are loved by the locals and tourists alike. Head inland on your Cascais holidays, and you'll discover a rabbit warren of narrow streets dotted with opulent buildings that form the historic centre. Here, you can taste the region’s cuisine, wander around the boutique shops, or enjoy a coffee on one of the sun-soaked café terraces. For a slice of Cascias’ history, visit the Castro Guimaraes Museum or the ancient Citadel of Cascais fort, built to protect the coastline during the 15th century. For a holiday fit for a king, Cascais has a royal stamp of approval. Read more
