Cascais is almost an extension of Lisbon suburbs. It is a very pleasant town though with a delightful old town - cobbled narrow streets etc. There are three beaches though we are not beach people so can only say they look nice.

Take the Grey bus orange line (hop on/hop off) to Cascais. It's a great place to spend the day. Bring a swimsuit - plenty of spots to hang out at the beach. Also millions of places to eat and shop. Definitly don't miss it. More

Nice open promenade, beautiful beach, several very upscale resorts, just a great feel! More
