The town of Cascais has been one of the most important harbours between Europe and the mighty atlantic ocean, as a safe haven that attracted Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs alike. During the Age of Discoveries, Cascais was the port from where caravels depart to Africa, Brasil, India and China. Learn about Luís de Camões and the “Lusíadas”, his 16th century epic about the Vasco da Gama’s discovery journey to India, about that epic journey itself and about Christopher Columbus, who first docked here after discovering the Americas. Learn the shakesperean true story of King Pedro I and his forbidden love with Inês de Castro. After World War I, and during WWII Cascais was a hotbed of espionage.

Follow us to get to know the most famous bay in Portugal like a local and get swept away by the charm of Cascais.

About Cascais
Cascais is a former fishing village on the Atlantic coast west of Lisbon, with sheltered beaches, a seafront promenade and a royal past.
Cascais lies at the mouth of the Tagus estuary, roughly thirty kilometres west of Lisbon, and began as a fishing village. King Luís I made it the royal summer residence in 1870, and the aristocracy followed, building villas and palaces along the shore. The old centre has patterned stone pavements, a marina and small beaches tucked in the bay, and the Casa das Histórias Paula Rego is a museum of that painter's work in a red building.
Top-ranked sights in Cascais: Boca do Inferno, Marina de Cascais, Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães.
