Historically, Cascais was a minor fishing village, until King Luís I (1838 - 1889) choose it as his royal summer retreat.
Trailing the Portuguese nobility were the high society of Portugal, who in turn constructed lavish villas, ornate mansions and exquisite gardens.
Today, Cascais is an elegant fusion of decorative 19th-century architecture, traditional Portuguese charm and outstanding tourist facilities, which together creates a magnificent holiday destination or a quiet and wonderful place to live.
Distance from Lisbon to Cascais is 25 kilometers (16 miles).
