Cascais as your Next Event Destination

Words by Lea Robert September, 2024

Discover Cascais, this coastal gem located on the western edge of the Portuguese Riviera at just 30 kilometers from Lisbon. This picturesque coastal town blends historical charm, stunning natural landscapes, and modern amenities. 

Known as one of Portugal’s most desirable destinations, Cascais offers a perfect getaway for travellers seeking a change of scenery, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. Here are some details that can make you choose Cascais as your next event destination!

Rich by its historical background

First of all, Cascais has a rich historical background since Roman times, but it truly flourished in the 19th century when it became a favored summer retreat for Portuguese royalty. Royal patronage, with its large influence, transformed Cascais from a modest fishing village into a sophisticated resort town, an aura that still retains to this day. 

Subsequently, Cascais Citadel, originally a 15th-century fortress, was later transformed into a royal residence and now houses luxurious hotels and contemporary art exhibitions.

Rich by its breathtaking landscapes

Another point is that this special town is surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes, from sandy beaches to rugged cliffs and lush parks, making it a haven for outdoor and hiking enthusiasts. 

Among the city’s must-sees, discover for instance Praia da Ribeira, in the heart of Cascais, this beach offers a calming spot for sunbathing and swimming, with beautiful picturesque views of the marina. 

For a piece of wild nature, uncover Boca do Inferno, a vast cliff where the sea crashes into the rocks. These waves create a spectacular natural landscape, especially during stormy weather. 

Then, for more adventurous aspirations, the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, just a short drive from Cascais, offers hiking and biking trails through the forests, hills, and along the coastline, surrounded by diverse wildlife.
