Activities
Walking around town might be enough for some after exploring Lisbon, but if you’re in the mood for adventure, fear not — there’s plenty to do & see!
Boca do Inferno – Scenic cliffs that are likely a nice walk from your accommodation. Please be careful! Photo by Natalie.
Visit the beach – Praia de Rainha (in Cascais) and Praia do Guincho (15 minutes from Cascais) are scenic beaches that many travel to from Lisbon to visit.
Marechal Carmona Park – In case you weren’t a good friend, Natalie considers herself a novice birder. At this park (open 8:30am – 8pm daily), you can sight some new-to-you species and relax in the shade. Please text all sighting photos to Natalie to claim credit.
Cabo da Roca – A 25-minute drive from Cascais, this cliffside boasts the best sunsets in Portugal. Highly Insta-worthy 🙂
