9 Lovely Things To Do In Charming Cascais If You Only Have One Day

Portugal, , 76 Comments

Last Updated on the 2nd of May, 2024

If you are willing to briefly wander away from Lisbon’s famous yellow trams and impressive architectural gems and jump on a train – think of it as a micro-adventure – you can visit one of the most charming coastal towns where you’ll be warmly greeted by dazzling sea views and pristine sandy shores.

Nestled between the lush Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and picturesque Estoril, Cascais is a fantastic place to visit as a day trip from Lisbon or even better – to extend your stay in Portugal for a couple of days to run around barefoot on sun-drenched beaches and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

In the late 19th century, the Portuguese Royal family chose Cascais for their summer retreats.

What was once a small fishing village, quickly grew to a high-end destination for the wealthy. Today it is a bustling town that’s oozing with an extensive history, eroded limestone cliffs and fishing boats bobbing in the harbour.

Here’s a guide to the best things to do in this beautiful coastal town where whitewashed houses and winding streets cheerfully greet day-trippers and holidaymakers.

Cascais Old Town, Portugal.

#1. Explore the Cidadela Art District

Make your way through the small arch, and you’ll find – set within the same square – Palácio da Cidadela de Cascais and Cidadela Art District.

Over the years,  the historic Cascais Fortress has been transformed into a sophisticated exhibition and art space by the Pousada Hotel group to promote the cultural aspirations of the area.

The ultra-modern art district with white-washed walls is scattered with various sculptures and contains six galleries and six Open Studios where artists can express themselves and share projects and where visitors can observe artists during their creative processes.

Given the historical and artistic atmosphere, it is a wonderful place to relax and take in the rich culture Cascais has to offer.

#2. Be amazed by Boca do Inferno (Hell’s Mouth)

Boca do Inferno is a famous crevasse in the cliffs near Cascais.

As the wild ocean waves crash into the rugged cliffs in a seemingly never-ending cycle, it creates a dramatic atmosphere and mesmerizing display of nature’s power.

Situated just 2 kilometres north of Cascais town, the cliffs are a magnet for visitors. Standing at the water’s edge, there’s very little doubt that this stretch of coast is a spectacular natural phenomenon eroded by the restless pounding of the sea and appreciated by the steady stream of visitors.

You can enjoy stunning coastal views and admire coastal rock formations free of charge as Boca do Inferno is situated on public land and is open year-round.

  • Getting there – to reach Boca do Inferno from Cascais town, take a walk along the path west of the coastal resort. It will bring you past the Citadel De Cascais then over the bridge and past Santa Maria Lighthouse.

#3. Visit Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães

The Castro Guimarães Museum is set in the former home of a wealthy and well-connected family who spent their summer holidays in Cascais to hang out with Queen Amélia.

By visiting the museum, you can see a beautiful art collection, admire graceful arches, and oriental porcelain as well as browse through the impressive library where you’ll find 25,000 volumes with some of them dating back to the 1600s.

There’s also an Arabic-inspired courtyard and plenty of the irresistible Portuguese blue-and-white tiles.

For those who are interested in visiting – entry to the museum is only 3€ and you can check opening times on their official website before you go.

#4. Wander around Marechal Carmona Park

How about escaping crowds and spending time in a lush park where you can relax, read, walk and play?

You can do that by visiting Marechal Carmon Park, which is exceptionally welcoming during the hot summer days as the trees provide shade.

This park is an excellent place for whole families, in addition to intriguing artwork, fragrant roses and colourful azulejo benches, it also features two playgrounds, and little ones will love free-roaming peacocks, ducks and turtles.

The park is well kept with colourful flowerbeds, small ponds, a picnic area and a café.

  • Address – Avenida da República, Cascais, Portugal, 2750-475

#5. Enjoy One of its Many Beaches

Thanks to Cascais location, you can find more than a dozen beaches.

Most of the Cascais beaches are situated in or around the city centre, so you don’t even have to travel or rent a car to reach them.

While they are undeniably crowded, especially during the weekends and at the height of the summer when locals are joined by tourists, they are litter-free and even come with excellent facilities like a bar and toilets.

Check out these beaches in Cascais:

  • Praia de Santa Marta – a little beach between Palácio dos Condes de Castro Guimarães and the Marina with an incredible lighthouse view.
  • Praia da Conceição – overlooked by a 5-star hotel on top of a cliff – is the most accessible beach to tourists arriving from Lisbon. It’s a wonderful sandy beach with calm and clear waters perfect for families with young children.
  • Praia da Rainha – a petite, picture-perfect beach is located right by the main pedestrian street, just a short stroll from the train station. With lifeguards, bathrooms and showers available on the beach, it’s a great place to spread your towel.

The sheltered Praia da Rainha is perfect for small children and was once a favourite beach of Princess Amélia of Orléans.

#6. Walk around Cascais Marina

Cascais Marina offers easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, providing capacity for 650 vessels of all sizes as well as a wide array of services, including laundry, fuel, and marine supplies, making it a perfect destination for maritime adventures.

If you arrive on dry land, you’ll find a wide range of outdoor activities to enjoy such as a swimming pool, beach access, bars and restaurants.

Walk around the Cascais Marina, which is the third-largest in the country, and you’ll find the 15th-century fort at one edge of it, and plenty of high-end restaurants, bars and even a cultural centre.

Cascais Marina is open for visitors who can wander around and admire sleek boats and check out the yachts.

#7. Stroll around the Old Centre of Cascais

The old centre of Cascais is irresistibly charming and bursting with character and one of the best ways to experience it is by getting lost in its winding laneways.

The old town is a wonderful mixture of interesting street art, pastel-coloured facades and vibrant flowers dripping out of window boxes. 

Make sure to take your time as you wander through the quaint alleyways, soaking up the laid-back atmosphere and admiring the beautiful architecture.

If you are looking to purchase a little keepsake from your time exploring Portugal’s Silver Coast, then the old town is the perfect spot to shop. Consider bringing home some Portuguese souvenirs or perhaps some of the country’s famous pastries.

#8. Cycle to the Windsweapt Guincho Beach

Venture further north where the beaches are wild and windy and where the coast is scattered with rocky headlands to experience Portugal’s raw beauty.

A cycle path that connects Guincho Beach and Cascais is mostly flat, which makes it for a great half-day self-guided tour. On a breezy day, it would be a good idea to rent an e-bike as there is a slight slope to the coastal cycle path.

Bring plenty of refreshments as the sweltering heat during the summer month can be rather unbearable and can make cycling a challenge.

*Fun Fact – You can see Guinco Beach featured in the opening sequence of 1969’s James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

#9. Visit Santa Marta Lighthouse and Museum

Rocky shores around Cascais are full of wonderful sights and one of them is Santa Marta Lighthouse which is the first museum dedicated to Portuguese coastal lighthouses.

The lighthouse was built in 1867 and you can recognise it immediately, from its blue and white stripes.

For a small fee, you can visit the museum and climb all the way to the upper platform for a beautiful view or join other people sitting in the warm sand among rocks right at the river mouth.

How to Plan a Lisbon to Cascais day trip

Although many travellers choose to stay in Lisbon and take day trips to nearby attractions like Cascais and Sintra you can also use Cascais as your base for exploring Sintra and the beautiful Estoril Coast.

Connected to Lisbon by the inexpensive and regular railway system, Cascais is only a 40-minute train ride away from Lisbon’s Cais do Sodre station which is linked to the green metro line.

  • Train Times: The train leaves approximately every 12 minutes at peak times and then 20 minutes at other times.
  • Ticket Prices: A single ticket should cost no more than 3 euros.
  • Getting Off: Once the train leaves the city, it follows the scenic coastline and stops in towns along the way until it comes to a full stop in Cascais, which is the last stop.

Be sure to check the CP website for up-to-date timetables and fares.

    1. I love coastal towns too, especially the ones in Europe. While the beaches around Cascais are calm and serene, only a short walk away from the town centre you can take in powerful waves and tides. So powerful and dangerous actually, that one specific area is even called Boca do Inferno: Hell’s Mouth. It’s quite a fascinating place where you can see how powerful Mother Nature can be.

    1. We visited Cascais at the end of September, and it wasn’t overly crowded compared to Lisbon. July and August are becoming unbearable months to explore Europe as it seems like people are trying to make up for the lost time during the pandemic. Demand has been so high that many travel advisers have had to turn away clients looking to book vacations in popular European destinations in July and August because of a lack of availability. That’s why we are spending summer holidays close to home and try to travel during the quiet months. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. I love exploring big cities but no more than for a day or two as most of them are packed shoulder to shoulder with visitors. Being stuck in lines or exploring places filled with people can be a reasonable expectation for a lot of places, but ever since the pandemic travel restrictions ended, it seems like there’s a never-ending flow of people everywhere I look. Therefore, I now prefer to stay either close to home or go on a vacation to smaller towns like Cascais. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. Cascais is one of the most beautiful seaside towns in Portugal and whether you want to lay on a beach, dive into art, history, or ice cream, it offers plenty to keep any visitor busy. There are a few other wonderful seaside towns along the coast that I wish to explore, therefore, just like you, I just have to go back someday. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. Many of the best things to do in Cascais, Portugal don’t involve doing much at all. My favourite part of visiting was lowly strolling along the cobbled streets. It’s the slow pace of life and year-round great weather that makes this place great. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. One day is never enough anywhere we go – that’s so true, but this time one day was all we had. We had a full day dedicated to exploring it and managed to see all the main attractions, go for a swim, have ice cream, wander around its old town and have lunch in an un-hurried manner which was possible to achieve due to town’s petite size.

  17. Our itinerary never contained Cascais, both because of our short time in country, the time of year (it ended up being pretty cool and rainy when we were there due to Storm Nelson) and the fact that we were trying to see Lisbon and Porto on the trip. Heck, even our plans to visit Sintra were left in the dust. We just felt like we’d be trying to cram too much in. Still, I knew about Cascais and have every intention of seeing it on our “someday” next trip to Portugal. The old centre, in particular, looks beautiful.

    1. This was, and still is one of the worst and coldest springs in Europe! I was watching the news and was horrified by how Lisbon was being seriously affected by the intense rainfall and winds that washed away cars and flooded streets, buildings and public transport stations, blocking some metro lines. We’ve been revisiting Portugal every spring yet never seen such chaos in the Portuguese capital.

      I am still working on not cramming too much in when we are away, but there are only so many vacation days in a year and so much to see. Can’t wait to read about your Portuguese adventures. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good ay 🙂 Aiva xx

      1. It seems like much of the bad weather there happened during the four days we were in Porto. There was rain for us in both cities, but nothing newsworthy that we could tell, other than the waterspout, which happened just before we arrived back in the city from Porto. Yikes, even though we didn’t escape the rain, we may have dodged a bullet by spending four days in Porto at just the right time!

        1. Springtime in Europe can be hit or miss, although it’s been the latter for the past few years. One of our friends just returned from sunny south France while others were in the South of Spain and all of them had horrible weather conditions and bucketloads of rain. If you are in the city exploring museums and art galleries, it’s bearable, but not so much if your heart is set on exploring the great outdoors

          1. Exactly. When people back home expressed disappointment at our rain-sun-rain-sun Portugal weather, I told them, “Worry not.” While it would have sucked if we were on a beach vacation, it did little to impede anything we had planned. It was time that hindered us, not rain.
