Take a tour of Cascais, a vibrant coastal town, known for its beaches and scenic cliffs. Enjoy the relaxed vibe, incredible beaches, and coastal biking and walking paths. Or, head into the charming old town to explore cobblestone streets, artisan shops, and indulgent local seafood restaurants. Visitors to Cascais should see the town’s iconic marina as well as the Praia da Rainha (“Queen’s Beach”) and Boca do Inferno (“Hell’s Mouth”), an unforgettable sea cave featuring a towering stone archway. Cascais is the best place to enjoy a coastal sunset and a dinner of succulent, fresh-caught robalo grelhado.

Find seemingly endless, picture-perfect views at Azenhas do Mar, a cliffside wonder above turquoise waters. Clinging to cliffs above the Atlantic, Azenhas do Mar feels like a postcard brought to life. Begin at the miradouro, where whitewashed homes tumble toward a turquoise natural pool below. Wander the village’s quiet, bougainvillea-lined lanes, catching glimpses of tiled steps and sea-salted air. Snap photos at the tidal pool or simply sit and breathe in the breeze. If time allows, enjoy fresh grilled sea bass or Azeitao cheese with olive oil at a cliffside restaurant. With just a few streets and endless views, this is Portugal at its most poetic—compact, sun-warmed, and unforgettable.

Know more about your day trip

Cascais offers more than just beautiful beaches. During your 2-hour tour, explore the charming historic center with its pedestrianized streets, the 15th-century fortress, and the former royal residence of Cidadela Palace. Don't miss the millionaires' mansions along the coastline, the dramatic Boca do Inferno cliff formation, and the Casa das Historias Paula Rego museum showcasing contemporary Portuguese art.
Azenhas do Mar is one of Portugal's most picturesque villages, dramatically positioned on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The white village houses are built directly into the cliff face, creating a stunning visual against the blue sea. During your 90-minute visit, you'll discover its natural tidal pool at the base of the cliff, traditional Portuguese architecture, and panoramic ocean views that make it a photographer's paradise.
You'll have approximately 90 minutes to explore Azenhas do Mar, which is plenty of time to admire the picturesque whitewashed houses perched on the cliff, take stunning photos from the Miradouro das Azenhas do Mar viewpoint, and perhaps enjoy a quick meal or refreshment at one of the seaside restaurants overlooking the natural ocean pool.
Wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring cobblestone streets, layered clothing as coastal weather can change quickly, and swimwear during summer if you plan to enjoy the ocean. Bring sunscreen, a hat, water, your camera for capturing breathtaking coastal views, and some cash for small purchases as not all establishments accept cards.
This tour offers attractions for all ages. Children typically enjoy Cascais' beaches, the seaside walk to Estoril, and the cliff formations. Azenhas do Mar's natural pool (summer only) is popular with families. The driving distances between sites are manageable, and the coastal scenery keeps children engaged. Your driver can suggest family-friendly restaurants and adjust the pace to accommodate younger travelers.
Spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) offer ideal conditions with pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. Summer provides warmer beach weather but more tourists, especially in Cascais. Winter can be windy but offers dramatic ocean views and empty beaches. Azenhas do Mar is particularly impressive during rough, windy days.
Yes, Boca do Inferno (Hell's Mouth) is a popular natural attraction in Cascais and is typically included in the itinerary. This dramatic rock formation features a small arch where the Atlantic waves crash through, creating impressive sprays and sounds that gave the site its name. It's a perfect photo opportunity and just a short drive from Cascais town center.
