Vacation like royalty along the Portuguese Riviera in Cascais. Their magnificent palaces still stand along the coastline, now joined by upscale boutiques, luxury hotels and golf courses. It’s easy to see why Cascais was a popular retreat, with fantastic weather, beautiful beaches and scenic ocean views.

The area is filled with unique experiences for adventurous travelers. Stand on the edge of Europe at Cabo de Roca, the westernmost tip of the continent. Sip a martini at Casino Estoril, the place that inspired Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel Casino Royale. Or, spend your days simply sunbathing on one of Cascais’ best beaches like the royals of old.
