The area and getting around

A charming town very near to Portugal's capital city

Cascais is located just 40 minutes from Lisbon by a regular and well-priced train service, making it a great place to stay not just for its own appeal but if you are keen on visiting Lisbon. Despite being so close to the city, Cascais is a world away from the commotion of the busy capital and has retained the allure of its fishing heritage with its daily catch still sold at the harbour from the colourful boats that have come in following a hard night's work. Book a holiday rental in Cascais and enjoy the peace and quiet you deserve during your days off.

Discover the beaches of Cascais

Cascais has a compact, pedestrianised town centre and a beautiful harbour area that can be explored within a couple of days. It is also home to a number of well-presented beaches, mainly to the east of the centre, which offer golden sands calm sea waters, and excellent tourist facilities (shops, restaurants, bars). The prettiest of the beaches is Praia da Rainha, but it is a little small and perhaps better to look at and admire rather than for a family day out. For the latter, the beaches of Praia da Conceição and Praia do Tamariz are within easy walking distance of the town centre and offer everything you need for a lovely day of beach-time fun. Very close to Cascais you can also find very interesting tourist sites with amazing accommodation options, such as the villas in Sintra.

Cascais for surfer dudes

Cascais is a prime surf location that hosts a main World Surf League event and the QS Championship, which attract the best surfers from all over the world to the town. If you are a surfer yourself, there is always a beach that is more protected than others, so when the winter months arrive and the bigger swells come in, you can find beaches that offer great conditions for both highly experienced surfers and learners. This combined with the warm temperatures year around makes winter an excellent time for your surf holiday. Find the perfect accommodation in Cascais near the beach so you can be just steps away from all the fun.

Fortunately, you can find affordable holiday rentals in Cascais, so you won't need much to enjoy the beach town.
