Revisited Cascais after 30 years - it has certainly changed a lot but it still beautiful. A lot more traffic than there was and a lot more restaurants and activities. It is an easy town to walk around, the historic centre is interesting to walk around - lots of little, quiet cobbled streets. A great mixture of architecture in and around the town. Overall very interesting with lovely beaches, great for sports lovers with watersports and cycle paths along the coast. Very easy train ride to Lisbon and good value tickets.

I liked the overall ambience of the hotel; the relaxed atmosphere; the friendly, attentive service; the quality of the facilities. The outdoor pool was wonderful and well-managed. The town of Cascais was easily accessible as were the promenade and beaches. Cascais town is a very nice place to visit.

Love the buzzing atmosphere in downtown Cascais. Beach was pretty crowded with teenagers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and beach soccer is a huge thing so lots of soccer balls flying around. During the week it was more quiet. Obviously it's a tourist destination so many tourist shops selling the same things but I enjoyed wandering around downtown. It's very hilly and uneven streets sidewalks so bring comfy shoes. I didn't dare wear my heels :) More than enough choice in restaurants. We took the train to Lisbon twice, which is very doable, although the way back was always very crowded. The ride along the coastline is nice. Always enough taxi's/Uber available if needed. People very friendly, especially if you try to converse in Portuguese, it's always appreciated. English also gets you everywhere. Great stuff to do for kids, park with big playground, the merry go round, a petting zoo, music museum, the old city wall, all close by. On rainy days there's the bowling arcade not too far away which we went to one afternoon, and the Cascais Shopping mall has a playground. Lots of big and small supermarkets nearby.

Literally Paradise on Earth ... ! I did not expect such place exists so close to Lisbon. 10 times better staying there than in the capital. The water, the views, the beaches and the sun = Absolute BLISS !!! We went to several places around (and with a local) so I won't point out one, it's better if you go explore...! The best way to go around -if you can- is by car, but then the parking might be a drag a bit. Besides the center of Cascais, take a spin around the quarter of Amoreira - like a cute little village, with amazing hidden gems for foodies!

Beautiful place, nice beaches,long promenade all along the cost so easy for walking or cycling. good food everywhere if you like seafood especially.friendly staff.Train to Lisbon easily accessible. Free buses around cascais. Lots to see and do.

The restaurants were really lovely and we found a wonderful crepe and milkshake cafe. The road along the seafront had wonderful views and an area with little stalls which had handmade wooden item - gorgeous detail. I bought my wife a handmade poncho which was beautiful. Parking in the underground parking lots is really easy and pretty cheap. Cascais is also clean, hardly any dog poo even though owners are often walking their pets. The surrounding villas and streets are very pretty as you leave Cascais. For things to do around Cacais- the zoo in lisbon was great, there is a dino parc about 1hr 20 mins away from Cascais by car but well worth it. Sintra is a must - buy an egg tart (a speciality). The sintra palace and castle of the moors (top of the hill) is hard to reach by car - park in sintra and it's about 30 min walk up, take water with you, its steep. But the views were breathtaking. In lisbon go on a tuk tuk ride for great views and info all about the history and city. The monastery in lisbon was very pretty but actually much smaller than the outside suggested - we were round in 20 mins and didnt feel worth the money or queues. In lisbon, go to the 'time out market' for amazing food and different cuisine.
