Region

Portugal is possibly Europe’s most diverse and beautiful country with not only fine beaches, excellent hotels and sophisticated resorts, but also rustic villages, forests and fairy tale castles.

Despite being small in size, the Estoril coast is big in terms of possibilities. Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, the region stretches all the way from the Tagus Estuary to the Guincho Beach near the Serra de Sintra, home to mainland Europe's most westerly point.

Thanks to its close proximity to Lisbon, there is an added advantage of having an international airport, as well as the Cascais Municipal Aerodrome. Quickly and easily accessible, the region is well served by rail and road, most notably the scenic coast road known as the Estrada Marginal. In the centre of the region rises the majestic Serra de Sintra, whose northern slope leads to the historic village of the same name.

The Estoril coast's climate is moderate throughout the year and never subject to the extreme weather conditions. The region benefits from a unique microclimate influenced by the biological structure of the mountain, which is home to a wide variety of flowers, fauna and green landscapes.

There are lots of reasons why Estoril is an extraordinary place to visit. The many hidden corners, the wonderful beaches and landscapes, the strong traces of history
