The Original Cascais Free Tour
♡ Save
Cascais is an ancient village with unparalleled charm. A village trod by Moors and Vikings, European monarchs and spies. Discover the most famous bay in Portugal.
Cascais: White sand beaches, charming shops, restaurants for all tastes and many stories to discover. Once a small fishing village, Cascais was reinvented in the 19th century to become the summer retreat of the Portuguese monarchy.
Later, during the Second World War, Cascais would be the European port of refuge for European royal houses and the stage for the confrontations and conspiracies of the greatest spies in history.
Situated just a few kilometers from the mouth of the Tagus, Cascais has the magnificent Sintra Mountains on its back and in front of it one of the most picturesque bays in the world. Nowadays, it is a contemporary and sophisticated tourist destination where history and culture balance perfectly with the vast blue of the Atlantic Ocean.
This new free tour from taking Lisboa is probably the most invigorating of the tours, as we are bathed by the sun and the energy of the sea for more than 2 hours. Let yourself be enchanted by the stories of the village's foundation, the royal palaces, the fishing boats, and the mysteries of 20th-century espionage and get ready for a breathtaking end to the tour! Not to be missed.
