ACTIVITIES
SINTRA
The romantic town of Sintra,
praised by Lord Byron, is a must for those visiting the Estoril Coast.
Less than ten kilometres away, this area is particularly attractive for
its lush vegetation and the original architecture of the houses, mostly
dating back to the XIX century. Most important monuments are the Sintra
National Palace (Paço Real or Palácio da Vila), situated in the old
quarter and the Pena National Palace and Park, approx. 4.5 km from old
quarter. The Queluz National Palace, 15 km from the historic centre of
Sintra is also worth to be visited as are it's parks and gardens.
The Estoril Coast line and the coast to the west – at the foot of the
Sintra hills is worth visiting at all the times of the year. One of the
most important places for the visitor is of course, Lisbon - capital of
Portugal and relatively close to Cascais. There are many places to see
and things to do in this area. We suggest you check out the information
in the contents section of the Lisbon hotels.
CABO DA ROCA
The most westerly point of Europe, a magnificent cliff overlooking the
Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the delightfully unspoilt countryside, the
low-growing vegetation and in the spring, the white carpet of Armeria
Pseudarmeria, unique to this area.
ESTORIL
An internationally known resort, Estoril has all the facilities you will
need together with a natural beauty and individual architecture blending
with the surroundings. It is worth taking a stroll along to Monte
Estoril, where you will find many pretty buildings on the way. In the
park in front of the Casino, a colourful scene pleases the eye, edged by
tall, tropical palm trees. Without losing any of its natural charm,
Estoril has spread and now offers many facilities for the visitor.
BEACHES
Guincho beach, lying at the foot of the Sintra hills and facing the
Atlantic, should not be missed. Also visit Praia Grande and Praia da
Adraga in Colares after Cabo da Roca. |
