Very cute, wonderfully clean town with charming streets. Very pleasant and easy train ride from Lisbon. We rode the train to Cascais, walked around then walked back to Estoril and took the train back from there. Great walking, both beautiful stylish towns and nice day out.

On our third visit to Lisbon, we decided to take a train and visit Cascais. The train takes you to the historical town center where you can discover beautiful architecture, nice hotels, restaurants, shops and cafes. Our favorite restaurant there is Sr. Manuel. Recommended!

If you visit Lisbon, I recommend taking a day trip to Cascais. Visited with a group of friends and we walked from the train station, though you can take one of the vintage cars or a taxi if you don’t fancy working. Lots of restaurants in the area facing the sea and also some souvenir shops. The beach is very clean and you can sit and relax or take stroll as well.

Firstly,we only had a day so did not see a great deal but highlights were the Museu Condes de Castro Guimaraes a Palace which houses some lovely art but particularly wonderful was the interior decoration of which,all was available to view and unlike the appalling sheep dipping experience of Sintra we were only 2 of 4 people there. The accompanying park Marechal Carmona was a delight with a cafe overlooking a turtle and duck pond in which we had 2 coffees and a cake for a fiver. The dip in the Med was lovely but already the tiny beaches were sardined with bodies. It is a very privileged town but does have a lovely feel to it.

Cascais is a MUST if you spend some times in Portugal, it has beautiful beaches, lots of shops and restaurants and if you walk further into the city you cross a pretty big park with some wild farm animals that seems unknown by tourists. There is also a stunning sunset spot ! Great’y recommend !!

If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon, head to a small coastal town Cascais for a day (better two) for some relaxation and fun. The seafront resort town of Cascais is located about 17 miles due west of Lisbon. The name of the city comes from the Roman word Cascal, which means a pile of shells. About 1900, the Portuguese queen Maria Pia (daughter of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy) made Cascaise her summer vacation getaway - and Portugal's high society followed. To get there: just hop the train at Lisbon's Cais do Sodre station and take 40 minutes ride. We had one day to explore the city, and although we arrived by Uber early in the morning, one day was not enough for us to see and enjoy everything that this cute town provides for tourists. The city center is very pleasant, clean, full of souvenir shops and restaurants, the beach is in the city center near the central square, there is a beautiful mansion museum. Wow, if we could stay here overnight, the impression would be more complete.
