Cascais & Sintra
Cascais is a polished seaside town with a long coastal promenade, sheltered beaches and a direct train to Lisbon. Inland, the hills of Sintra are cooler and greener, full of palaces, misty forest trails and old quintas. Together they offer a calmer, outdoor life with the capital close enough for a day.
