The neighborhood

First light over Cascais, Estoril & Sintra

Cascais, Estoril & Sintra

The coast half an hour west of the city and the hills of Sintra behind it, with two of the four hotels. Along the Marginal and the railway from Cais do Sodré come the casino of Estoril and its gardens and the beach of Tamariz, then the bay and old town of Cascais, with the Boca do Inferno and Guincho beach beyond. The hills lie inside the Sintra-Cascais natural park: the Pena Palace, the Moorish castle, Quinta da Regaleira and Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe.

The palaces of Sintra – Pena, the Moorish castle, Quinta da Regaleira – a short drive into the hills.
Cascais and the sea, down the road to the south.
Cabo da Roca and Guincho beach, across the natural park to the west.
