Getting there

Planes

The nearest airport is at Lisbon | roughly 40 minutes away by car. There’s a bus that will take you into Cascais for about €1; a taxi will cost around €40.

Boats

If you want to get to Cascais by boat, you’ll have to sign up as crew on a yacht – or take your own.

Trains

The Cascais Line runs from Lisbon’s Cais do Sodré station to Cascais, takes around 30 minutes and costs €1.50. This scenic route skirts the Atlantic coastline and is a lovely way to arrive. Take seats on the left-hand side of the carriage for a sea view.

Automobiles

It’s worth hiring a car for coastal exploring | but public transport connections to Lisbon are very good.
