Thank you, OneDayTours, for an adventure I'll never forget. Together with my husband we booked an experience to the iconic surfing sport of Portugal, combined with the most popular coastal cities, Peniche and Nazare, and got a great opportunity to see Portugal off the beaten paths. Don't miss your chance to try it!

Exceptional experience for foodies with One Day Tours. While traveling in Portugal, I got an authentic taste of the country from savoring wine in Setubal to exploring hidden spots of the region, every moment was a delight. I can't wait to embark on other adventures. Love it!

Highly recommended! I truly enjoyed Lisbon's downtown walking tour. The guides are professional and funny. The itinerary is well-thought to the smallest detail. I had a short time in Lisbon but could fit in uncountable impressions thanks to the One Day Tours team. Wish you growth and thankful clients!:)

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days would be enough to see Cascais?

Those who wish to get to know Cascais in more detail should allow for at least two to three days. This will let you see all the chief attractions, relax on the beaches, taste the local cuisines, and shop in the local stores. You also have additional time to go to other parts of Portugal, for instance, Sintra and Lisbon. With a longer stay, one can go out in the evenings, experience the nightlife, and take part in events or festivals in the city.

What is the best way to learn about Cascais?

The most amusing way to get to know Cascais is through a historical tour, which will be fully detailed. Such tours are helpful as they provide information about the antecedents and culture of the city. One can go sightseeing at major tourist attractions like the Palacio da Cidadela and the Museu Condes de Castro Guimaraes, accompanied by guides who know the site’s history. Admission tickets guarantee to take you through the most outstanding sites and acquire as much information as possible about the area. 

How suitable is Cascais for walking and exploring on foot?

Visiting Cascais on foot during a long day’s outing and simultaneously engaging in several activities is possible. The core that forms the city is relatively small, and most of the sights, cafés, and shops are relatively close to one another. Cascais can be walked through, and as it is an easy-going city with quiet architecture and breathtaking ocean views, it can easily be explored at one's own pace. With your feet, there is also the possibility of studying for new items that may attract your attention on any given day, like a beautiful courtyard or a decent café. It is hard to get lost when walking because of the well-designed pathways for pedestrians and the excellent weather. 

Can I see Cascais on a half-day tour?

Cascais itself is a place that can be easily seen in half a day, but experiencing all the tourist attractions will take more time. Therefore, among the recommended places to visit for half a day are the Cascais Marina and the Boca do Inferno. However, if you want to spend more time visiting and perhaps dining and experiencing the local flavor, then at least a day is recommended. On such a day, you can explore the city's historical background or several museums and take your time to have lunch or dinner in any of the local restaurants. 

What are the recommended means of transport in Cascais?

The most suitable mode of transport in Cascais is by walking because the city is small and most places can be covered on foot. For longer distances to travel or to discover the vicinity, one can rely on local bus services or rent a bike, and there are even scenic train tours along the coast. Thus, each option provides a different angle from which to view the area in question. Biking can be arranged at a certain fee and is a cheaper means of transport, though it could be more efficient in the distances to be covered. The train ride along the coast provides an excellent view of the sea. An efficient network transport system displays the city's core and outskirts. 

Can you go out on the street and wander around Cascais without a map?

Indeed, you can mess around Cascais without the help of a guide. The transport network is pretty simple to understand, with various information available for tourists. However, a guided one can enhance it and make it even more interesting by giving historical background to certain places and tips on where to eat. Being on your own makes you flexible in planning your timetables, and you can stay as long as you wish in any particular place. You can also interact with locals, who are often happy to help.
