| The Citadel of Cascais -- The Historical Fortress , the emblematic 16th century. A place where ancient meets modern, and many of the rooms are dramatically set into the former barracks which makes each space a different experience, while others, more modern, enjoy spectacular views to the sea or over the huge internal patio spaces. |

The beautiful municipality of Cascais is located at the end of the suburban train lines outside Lisbon in the Estoril Coast. A former fishing village and now one of Portugal's famous resort and vacation spot both popular for locals and tourist alike. It is accessible by car or by train. It has the ruins of a castle, an art and sea museum, as well as parks and the charming cobbled streets of the historic centre. The town has many hotels and tourist apartments as well as many good restaurants of varying cost. Cascais is becoming a good sport destination, there you can play golf and if u like water sport, you can choose from sailing , surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing. In fact last 2007 Cascais was the official host of the ISAF World Championship in sailing for dinghies and racing yachts. It also hosted international tennis and motorcycling events and FIA F1 Portugal Grand Prix. And if your into gambling, the biggest casino in europe, the Estoril Casino is also in Cascais. So if your planning to visit Portugal and prefer to stay outside of the city yet in an equally urban and sophisticated environment, Cascais is the place. |
