It is the fishing town of Lisbon. The food costs and nightlife are very low compared to other cities, designed to satisfy residents, not tourists or foreigners.
Enjoy outdoor and water activities during your stay here, like, windsurfing. And if you’re not staying in hotels, the camping option also exists for a more flexible plan.
Cascais is a city that went from a fishing village to a Portuguese upper-class summer resort. You can stroll through its town, visit Praia dos Pescadores, enjoy some of its good fish restaurants, and visit the Boca do Inferno grotto.
