In addition to Sintra around Lisbon, we recommend a small fishing village suitable for vacation: Cascais. Once a charming fishing village, it is now a famous resort and port city. Cascais is located about 30 kilometers west of downtown Lisbon. It can be reached in just over an hour by car. It was chosen as the summer residence by King Louis I of Portugal at the end of the 19th century and has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Portugal. The blue sea, the long dam, the blue sky and white clouds and sunny days for most of the year, is undoubtedly one of the important factors for the city to become a resort. Historically, Cascais has always been a gathering place for the rich, an ideal living environment, facing the Atlantic Ocean, and the sun and sea breeze create a mild ambient climate, which is why walking in the Cascais area It is always possible to see large and small retro-looking retro buildings. It turned out to be the villas and manors built by the rich. Cascais has a number of exquisite beaches, in addition to a famous lighthouse (Santa Marta Lighthouse), a lighthouse on the Cascais Cape, built in 1868, high 20 Meter, the wall is blue and white. Nowadays, the interior of the lighthouse has been transformed into a small lighthouse museum, where you can learn about the lighthouse story of Portugal's nautical history and the famous lighthouses in the country.
