Only half an hour away from the capital city of Lisbon, Cascais is one of the most charming and exclusive towns in Portugal. It’s well known for its cultural and sporting events, and also for its history. This place has so much to offer that we don’t even know where to begin. This fishing village slowly became the village for the nobility, the home for all the exiled kings and others' vacation residence. From King Umberto II of Italy, to the Spanish Royal family and the last Portuguese monarchs, they all lived here! What about now? Nowadays Cascais is famous for its amazing beaches and surf spots, an avid sailing community, hundreds of amazing restaurants, fresh fish and a comfortable seaside lifestyle.
