Belém and River and Seaside (Oeiras, Estoril, Cascais)
Charm with a life of its own
The attractions of this region are not limited
to the sea and the extraordinary coastline. The historical heritage,
particularly the delicious and picturesque town of Cascais, is one of the great
interests of the area, with important architectural and artistic works. There
is a wide variety of cultural activities to ensure that you are never bored. The Casino de Estoril, the largest in Europe, is the best example of this. One of
the most important entertainment venues in Portugal, it offers visitors an
extraordinary selection – from the many different forms of gaming to great
moments of entertainment, with daily shows. Nature is also an important
attraction. Complementing the sea, green spaces are also fundamental for the
ecological balance of the region. The Parque Natural Sintra-Cascais is a key
example, representing not only a unique space for the protection of species,
but also a key location for leisure activities connected with ecotourism, with
a range of activities available to visitors.
The sun ever present
Facing the south, the beaches in the estuary
of the Tagus offer visitors calm waters, fine sand and modern facilities, to
provide all comfort. From Carcavelos beach, ideal for surfing, to Guincho, the
paradise for windsurfers, you can discover many others, all different but all
offering maximum pleasure. A privileged location for water sports, from
the most radical to the most sophisticated, the Costa do Estoril offers unique
conditions for sea lovers, with high quality facilities including the modern
Cascais Marina.
One place, one thousand sensations
The Costa do Estoril is waiting for you to
discover it. Romantic, cosmopolitan, full of entertainment and with a unique
character, it is where Lisbon meets the sea. Considered by many to be the
Portuguese Riviera, Estoril and Cascais are full of glamour and charisma.
They offer a great diversity of attractions and the experiences in a limited
area and in a setting that is exceptional in terms of nature, culture and
heritage along the whole of this marvellous coast. Essentially, Estoril is a
destination with a life of its own, providing a range of experiences, with
romantic Sintra and the capital just a short hop away.
