Cascais: Things To See & Do
|
Marina & Beach
The beachfront of Cascais,
in particular Guincho beach, is the biggest attraction of this charming
town, with its nearby marina, shops, restaurants and other facilities,
just perfect for a beach holiday.

|
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da
Assunção)
The most prominent church in Cascais, this
particular building is noted for its ornamentation, in particular the
17th century artwork in the nave painted by Josefa de Obidos, one of the
few women painters of the time, as well as some lovely 18th century
handpainted azulejos.

|
Bullfight Ring
(Monumental de Cascais)
For the unsqueamish, this is
the place to go to watch a bullfight.
|
|
|
Mouth of Hell (Boca do
Inferno)
Located just outside town, this wide,
mouth-like hole, or boca, in the cliffs was created by the power of the
waves sweeping in from the Atlantic. When the sea is calm, the mouth is
relatively quiet, but when the sea is rougher, the sound of the waves
crashing in the boca is a furious roar.
