Brand new, modern apartment with all mod cons. Very comfy king size bed and great shower.
€10.65 day ticket to Lisbon which includes train (35 minutes each way from Sao Joao do Estoril train station), metro and trams in Lisbon. The trams are great and there is a little feeling of San Francisco with the steeps hills to get up to the Castle. It’s worth getting a ferry to Belem from the Cais do Sodre Station (the Station you come into from Estoril) just to get a good view from the water and avoid the crowds.
The Atlantic Coast is wild and fabulous and much cooler than 10 minutes back to Cascais. So on a hot day, fantastic. We aimed for Guincho beach and stopped at Monte Mar restaurant to watch the sunset on the deck, all to ourselves, and then had a spectacular seafood meal there. A special occasion restaurant. Very good location but worth having a car.
