Cascais Useful Information
Cascais is only 30Km or so west of Lisbon hence is a popular resort with people from the capital as well as foreign tourists.
Like many places in Portugal, the original fishing village suffered badly in the 1755 earthquake but the arrival of the royal family encouraged other wealthy families and soon spacious palaces took the place of fishermen’s cottages.
Your Cascais holiday rental will be easily accessible from Lisbon International Airport either by road or the inexpensive railway.
