View of Cascais
Highlight • Viewpoint
The bay offers an iconic mix of a traditional fishing village and the aristocratic "Portuguese Riviera." You will see colorful fishing boats anchored in calm blue waters, framed by the historic Citadel and elegant palaces rising from the rocks.
Best Spots to See It:
Hotel Baía Rooftop: The most famous spot for a panoramic, aerial view of the entire bay and town.
Praia da Ribeira (Main Square): The best ground-level view to get close to the fishing boats and the beach.
The Citadel & Marina: Offers a beautiful "reverse" view, looking back at the town, which is stunning at sunset.
Insider Tip: Walk just past the bay to the Santa Marta Lighthouse. The view of the lighthouse and the bridge over the water is arguably the most photogenic spot in Cascais.

Cascais has a rich history dating back to the Lower Paleolithic.
In the 14th century, it was a fishing and farming village dependent on Sintra.
On June 7, 1364, the inhabitants of Cascais petitioned King Pedro I to elevate the village to the status of a town, which was granted. This marked the beginning of its administrative and judicial autonomy.
