Cascais Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

[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.

Cascais, 30 km from Lisbon, is the third largest city in Portugal. It is said that this is the main place where Ian Fleming, the author of the Bond series, worked during World War II. His many 007 novels were completed here, which also attracted many 007 fans to visit here~ Cascais is located by the sea, full of golden beaches, but I found this little carousel next to the green areas of the city. This small town is quiet, and the seagulls are also pacing on the shore. In Portugal, it always gives people a feeling of quietness. The daily trip is also like a walk.
