What To Expect

The town of Cascais has been one of the most important harbours between Europe and the mighty atlantic ocean, as a safe haven that attracted Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths and Arabs alike. During the Age of Discoveries, Cascais was the port from where caravels depart to Africa, Brasil, India and China. Learn about Luís de Camões and the “Lusíadas”, his 16th century epic about the Vasco da Gama’s discovery journey to India, about that epic journey itself and about Christopher Columbus, who first docked here after discovering the Americas. Learn the shakesperean true story of King Pedro I and his forbidden love with Inês de Castro. After World War I, and during WWII Cascais was a hotbed of espionage. Ian Fleming lived here as an undercover british agent and felt inspired in Cascais to write Casino Royal, introducing to the world the most famous spy of all times: James Bond. Follow us to get to know the most famous bay in Portugal like a local and get swept away by the charm of Cascais.
