With its grand buildings, cobbled streets and fishing village charm, Cascais is the pretty port town just a short train ride away from Lisbon where the 44th FIPP World Congress 2022 will take place this coming June.
Noble Mansions in Portugal
Cascais is a high-end resort town just outside Lisbon, and once a favored retreat for Portuguese royals.
Now, it’s a fixture in my annual travel schedule…
When I’m in Europe, I typically take a long weekend in Lisbon, then set up base in Cascais for a week, just before returning to Mexico.
I get my fix of great seafood, long walks along the Atlantic coast, and the pleasure of stylish and cosmopolitan European hotels.
Go back 15 years and Cascais was a commuter town for Lisbon’s wealthy and a vacation destination for the rest of Portugal’s well-heeled.
