 Cascais, "city of kings and fishes" has been a holiday destination since the beginning of the 19th century, when the king of Portugal chose it as his summer retreat. If other Mediterranean beach resorts have emerged with the advent of mass tourism, Cascais, when chosen by the King of Portugal, has made the high society have built stunning homes, parks and entertainment venues and we can still prove this today.

 Cascais’ local government has smartly channeled this tourist revenue into enhancing the resort; all museums and stately homes are free and the parks are wonderfully maintained. Cascais is a resort that combines class, history with wonderful beaches and is a fantastic destination for a holiday and this great reputation was confirmed by the Lonely Planet travel guides.

  In the town there are traditional authentic Portuguese restaurants with a smattering of more exotic cuisines but the whole area retains the atmosphere of class and maturity town of Cascais.
