Looking for something on land? Cascais is home to some of Portugal’s finest golf courses. All well-maintained, with stunning views over the Atlantic Ocean, making playing this sport a special experience. You can hire bicycles and exercise with a sea view on the bike path along the coast, but if you prefer cardio in the midst of nature, there are plenty of options, such as natural trails like Peninha for hiking with an incredible view from the highest point of the Natural Park. FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD The gastronomy of Cascais is a true feast for the senses, reflecting the richness of Portuguese flavours and the fusion of international tastes it encounters and absorbs. Fish and seafood lead the way, along with some signature cuisine, global dishes and the celebration of the art of petiscos. Make sure you visit Bairro Amarelo, a series of streets in the historic centre of the town that host various restaurants specialising in various different cuisines. Hotels also hide treasures in Cascais’ gastronomic experience, many of them with award-winning restaurants, offering guests and passersby a culinary journey through local and international flavours. The traditional cakes made in convents are part of the menu of most patisseries and restaurants in the region meaning each meal, or a simple coffee, becomes a memorable experience. CHARMING CULTURE The creation of the Museum Quarter elevated the town’s culture to a new level, offering a diverse range of offerings to those with a taste for art. There are galleries scattered throughout the town showcasing works by local and international artists. Frequent cultural events, such as outdoor music and theatre festivals, contribute to Cascais’ cultural vitality. For younger couples, there is no shortage of activities either, with culture being shared through theatres, workshops and craft sessions. There are always programs and plans to fill the town’s cultural agenda. Estoril Classics is a traditional weekend full of excitement and competitions – perfect for couples who are adrenaline junkies. The real attraction is off the track, where you can spend hours viewing classic cars on display, mechanics working on vehicles, and feeling like you’re part of the experience. When all the speed works up an appetite, Chefs On Fire is the ideal destination. It’s a gastronomic festival that brings together the best chefs, both national and international, cooking over fire, smoke and wood. The dishes are prepared outdoors and around a bonfire, with background music, and served at communal tables for groups of friends and families.
