Discover Cascais: A gem on Portugal's riviera worth living and visiting

Discover Cascais: A gem on Portugal's riviera worth living and visiting

Portugal is a treasure trove of stunning landscapes, fascinating history, and enchanting locales. Among the multitude of places that deserve your attention, there's one gem worth shining a spotlight on: Cascais. This coastal town is a perfect blend of charm, convenience, and culture that makes it a must-visit and an idyllic place to live, particularly for expats.

Cascais is ideally located on Portugal's sunny Estoril Coast, just 30 kilometres west of Lisbon, the country's bustling capital. It's the perfect compromise between big city life and relaxed seaside living, making it an attractive destination for expats from around the world.

Spectacular Scenery and Glorious Beaches

Praia da Rainha

Cascais offers a stunning coastal landscape, boasting pristine beaches such as Praia da Rainha and Praia do Guincho. Its picturesque marina brims with luxury yachts while the charming old town is awash with pastel-coloured buildings and cobbled streets, leading to numerous parks and gardens.

Vibrant Expat Community

Cascais Rooftop

Cascais hosts a thriving expat community, making it easy for newcomers to integrate and establish social connections. Regular community events, clubs, and activities add to the town's welcoming nature. Its proximity to Lisbon—just a scenic train ride away—also makes it an appealing base for those working in the capital but seeking a tranquil living environment.

Rich History and Culture

Citadel of Cascais

Cascais is steeped in history and culture. Explore the grandeur of the 19th-century aristocracy at the Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães, or take a step back in time at the fortified Citadel of Cascais. The town's vibrant arts scene also deserves a mention with numerous galleries, exhibitions, and an annual jazz festival.

Expat-Friendly Amenities

Expats appreciate Cascais for its top-notch international schools, excellent healthcare facilities, and diverse culinary scene that caters to all tastes. It's also a golfer's paradise with several world-class golf courses nearby.

Active Lifestyle

For those who love the outdoors, Cascais offers a wealth of activities. From sailing, surfing, and cycling along the scenic coastal path to the Guincho Beach, to hiking in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, there's always something to keep you active and engaged.

In short, Cascais is a place that truly offers the best of both worlds. Its beautiful surroundings, warm and friendly community, and close proximity to Lisbon make it a popular choice for expats. Whether you're planning a visit or considering a move, Cascais is definitely a destination worth exploring in Portugal.
