The gold dusty sands of the Lisbon Coast are some of the best beaches you’ll set eyes on. Pitch up at popular Praia de Carcavelos and admire the scenes of Sao Julião fort or make for postcard-perfect Praia do Creiro – paradise found.
Just west of Lisbon lies the quaint cobbled town of Cascais. Loved by the Portuguese Royal family, this once pocket-sized fishing village has flourished into a thriving resort town. It’s packed to the rafters with treasures just waiting to be unveiled and its castle ruins are the jewel in the crown.
Couples, solo travellers, families and groups alike will find their perfect Portugal getaway here on the Lisbon Coast. Give the little ‘uns a history lesson in the capital itself or if you’re looking for a romantic trip for two there’s nowhere more magical than UNESCO-stamped Sintra.
Once a sleepy fishing village, Cascais is now a staple destination for a holiday in the Portuguese sun, although it’s still got plenty of small-town charm.
Escape the tourists and embrace a glamourous history when you book an Estoril holiday. Once a meeting point for the rich and famous, this Portuguese coastal retreat’s impressive casino was the inspiration behind Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale.
Sintra will make your heart sing. Tucked among forested mountains with whimsical palaces piercing the skyline, this showstopping village has all the trappings of a fairytale.
There’s no shortage of beaches in these parts, so grab your bucket and spade and head to Praia Sao Pedro, Praia de Carcavelos and Praia da Conceição to name just three. Lay down your towel after a busy morning of exploring or flop down on one of the many loungers available to hire – the choice is yours. Did we mention that Praia do Guincho is famed for its tip-top surfing conditions? It’s time to master the waves!

You’ll feel like you’ve skipped back centuries when you wander the villages and towns that appear to have frozen in time. Look up at skyline-studding domes and down at ornate tiles, known here as azulejos. And whichever resort you visit, make sure you’ve got your camera!

Waterside dining is the name of Lisbon Coast’s game. Time your table with the sun going down and you’ve cracked it. When it comes to the dishes, grilled sardines, cured meats and oodles of piri piri infused plates are menu staples, with seafood stealing the top spot on many.
