Holidays at the Lisbon coast
A coastal paradise in the land of explorers
Portugal has earned its name as the garden of Europe. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, the exotic plants once brought back by explorers from the four corners of the world have now become indigenous to the entire Atlantic coast. Beyond its mild climate and varied plant life, Portugal is famous for its history, its sailors and explorers, who have endowed this wonderful country with the finest historical treasures.
Exceptional heritage in a seaside setting
Portugal's coastlines are dotted with extraordinary places, many of them just outside the capital. The Costa de Lisboa is equally attractive from a cultural point of view as it from a seaside point of view. You’ll find long sandy beaches, authentic villages, towns steeped in history and magnificent natural parks. The seaside resorts of Cascais and Estoril are particularly popular for their lively atmosphere, but are also perfect bases for exploring all the nooks and crannies of the region.

Cascais
Cascais was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the brightly-coloured boats that can still be seen on the Praia dos Pescadores. Today, it is a modern town, with restaurants, cafés and shops lining the shopping streets along the Atlantic coast. Most of the hotels are slightly out of the centre, lining the coastal road that stretches from Cascais to the magnificent beach of Praia do Guincho, which is a popular spot for windsurfing. Distance from airport: 35 km.
Estoril
Estoril, in the heart of the Portuguese Riviera, is synonymous with charm and glamour. Linked to Cascais by a pretty coastal promenade, it subtly blends modernity and tradition and boasts beautiful beaches, trendy bars and restaurants, internationally renowned golf courses and one of Europe's biggest casinos. Distance from airport: 30 km.
