Holidays on the Lisbon coast
Sun-kissed coastlines and lush nature in the land of explorers
Portugal charms with its remarkable diversity of landscapes – from golden sandy beaches and steep cliffs to rolling hills and wild mountainous areas. Its generally mild climate is greatly influenced by the Atlantic and makes it a particularly sought-after destination all year round. The exotic plants once brought back by the explorers from the four corners of the world have now become indigenous to some of the country's plant life, hence its nickname as "the Garden of Europe".
Portugal had also earned an international reputation for trade and exploration in the Age of Discovery, during which it enjoyed times of great prosperity. Precious cultural treasures and majestic buildings are still visible to this day, from history-packed cities and monasteries to charming villages bustling with warm hospitality and melancholic fado, all shaping the country's unique identity. More than just nature and seaside fun, Portugal promises a stay full of cultural exploration and heritage discovery.
Exceptional heritage in a seaside setting
Portugal's coastlines are dotted with extraordinary places, many of them just outside the capital. The Costa de Lisboa is equally attractive from a cultural point of view as it from a seaside point of view. You’ll find plenty of long sandy beaches, authentic villages, towns steeped in history and magnificent natural parks. The seaside resorts of Cascais and Estoril are particularly popular for their lively atmosphere, but are also perfect bases for exploring all the nooks and crannies of the region.

Cascais
Cascais was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the brightly coloured boats that can still be seen on the Praia dos Pescadores. Today, it is a modern town, with restaurants, cafes and shops lining its streets. Most of the hotels are slightly out of the centre, along the coastal road that stretches from Cascais to the magnificent Praia do Guincho, which is a popular spot for windsurfing. Distance from airport: 35 km.
Estoril
Estoril, in the heart of the Portuguese Riviera, is synonymous with charm and glamour. Linked to Cascais by a pretty coastal promenade, it subtly blends modernity and tradition and boasts beautiful beaches, trendy bars and restaurants, internationally renowned golf courses and one of Europe's biggest casinos. Distance from airport: 30 km.
