Mindful meoweler tips

Sardines are a big deal in Cascais

Don't pass up on trying this local delicacy! You can find them grilled and seasoned with salt, served with boiled potatoes and traditional salad.

Visit the Boca do Inferno

The 'Mouth of Hell' cliff formation and its crashing waves make for a stunning sight. Be careful near the edge though!

The Cascais Marina is a lively spot

Home to many shops, restaurants, and bars, enjoy a stroll along the water or even take a boat tour.
