The Neighborhood:
For the very young or young at heart, take a stroll through the local park (Parque Municipal da Gandarinha) in Cascais located opposite the marina and beside the cultural centre. Feed the ducks - or just sit at the local café and read a book whilst the peacocks strut around you. Sit out in the late afternoon sun and enjoy the sunset on the Esplanade Beach Bar in Cascais (Praia da Rainha) whilst enjoying champagne or sangria or perhaps at Casa da Guia over a sun down cocktail, while the sun disappears behind the ocean. If you have spent the day on Guincho Beach, the most romantic sunsets can be viewed from the Abano Beach Bar (BG Bar).


Parque Marechal Carmona - one single space resulting from the marriage of the gardens of the Palace of the Conde of Castro Guimarães and the property of the Visconde of Gandarinha. Apart from an abundance of exotic trees and shrubs, the tranquility of this park offers curious hiding places to quietly read a book or romantic tree lined pathways. Wander around the small ponds, infant playground, mini zoo, aviary, youth library, duck pond, café, museum, chapel, rose gardens, etc. right in the heart of Cascais! Open 8.30-19.45 summer & 8.30-17.45 winter. Bicycles can be hired locally (no charge) in Cascais and there is a bicycle path which stretches for miles along the beautiful coastline to Guincho Beach. Another useful service is the “Giro” Bus to CascaisShopping - a popular shopping mall on the outskirts of Cascais & Estoril.

Local activities include diving, surfing, swimming, tennis, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, golf, wind-surfing, water skiing, mountain biking, mountaineering, rollerblading on the purpose-built pathway along the coast road.


Night life includes the Tamariz Night Club which is practically suspended over the beach in Estoril (summertime only) and Jezebels Night Club behind Estoril Casino during the winter months. Alternatively, try the club for "the young at heart" (Vangogo) in Cascais old town. Take in the International Show or Dinner & Show at the Estoril Casino.
The Artisan Fair in Estoril (behind Casino) each July and August offers handicraft and a variety of restaurants serving traditional food.

The Cascais tourism office is situated in the square in Cascais, for all the maps and local information you need.
Another Lisbon tourism office is situated on the waterfront just beside the casino gardens and opposite the Estoril train station.
