Lisbon Day Trips

A leisurely walk along the beachfront promenade from Cascais takes you to this once fashionable resort, most famous for its grand casino where Ian Fleming set Casino Royale, his first Bond novel.

Don’t miss spending a summer day on one of the sandy beaches of the Caparica Coast, an 18-mile stretch of splendid dunes easily accessible by bus from Lisbon.

Fairytale castles, ancient palaces, and grand estates dot the hills of this former royal retreat renowned for its pure mountain air, verdant landscapes, and serene ambience.

Catch a quickie train ride from Cais do Sodré station to this fishing-village-turned-moneyed-town and admire its whitewashed houses, cobblestone streets, seaside cafés, and the occasional fishing boat.
