Just outside Lisbon, Cascais is one of Portugal's first holiday destinations. King Luis was one of the town's earliest tourists circa 1870, coming from Lisbon to this, at the time, fishing village for sunshine and the sea. The Atlantic may be bracing but the fresh seafood is always excellent, the sunshine generous and there is plenty of beauty to appreciate after you've taken your dip. Not surprisingly, there are plenty of the best places to stay in Cascais.
What has changed since Luis' patronage in the 1870s is that this once village has chichi-ed up into a sophisticated little town with more than enough hotels, a number of museums and some excellent restaurants.
Cascais is a good size for exploring on foot, however, if you want to see a bit more of the local area then hire a bike.
It may be a cliché, but Cascais really does have something for everyone. A number of small, interesting museums, shiny new marina, the famous windblown beach of Guincho and several world-class golf courses. On the weekend this is a busy town with crowds flocking out from Lisbon. The corso is where to head for a lively night out.
