About Sintra-Cascais Natural Park
Unusually close to a major city like Lisbon, Sintra-Cascais Natural Park has managed to preserve throughout the territory surrounding the westernmost point of continental Europe and to coexist harmoniously nature and human presence, that, so near the capital, would inevitably make itself felt.
In its territory, the park presents a stunning diversity of environments and landscapes, including sand dunes, forests, lakes, a rugged coastline where high cliffs are interspersed with lovely beaches, the imposing and Cabo da Roca, in the center, the magnificent Serra de Sintra and the entire area classified by Unesco as a cultural landscape heritage of mankind.
About Cascais
Blame King Luís I (1838 – 1889) for the upturn in the fortunes of Cascais. He declared it his favourite summer destination back in the 19th Century and the rest, as they say, is history.
It’s not so hard to imagine Cascais as a painting where the blue of the Atlantic Ocean and the green of Serra de Sintra combine in a unique landscape that deserves to be immortalized. When you walk around Cascais, it feels that idyllic, too. The town once favored as a retreat for Portuguese royals has maintained a certain old-world charm that is particularly hard to come by these days. Many of the best things to do in Cascais don’t involve doing much at all, and it’s the slow pace of life that makes this place great.
Cascais is a blend of royal palaces, luxury villas, beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses, immense leisure activities, water sports, and fabulous food. A very lively and cosmopolitan town, that preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere, making it one of the most exclusive locations in Portugal.
