I spent a month here to get a feel for all of Portugal.. I went south for a few days and went north for a few days, but Cascais felt like home. I walked everywhere and it is exactly .73 miles to the Mercado. The bus system works very good to get around! Air conditioning is not common in many places, but this place plus the Wi-Fi was a bonus.! Quiet building and many options of stores, paderias lojas, e pequeno -almoços everywhere.. I would stay here again!!
