The walk to Cascais
by barryg23
The train from Lisbon to Estoril continues to Cacais, further along the coast, but a nicer way to reach Cascais is by the path above the beach. The views of the sea are great though in the other direction some of the touristy hotels ruin the panorama. The walk begins just above the beach in Estoril, it runs almost alongside the train tracks and takes about 20 minutes to get to Cascais.
ESTORIL

"ESTORIL"
Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Estoril Coast stretches all the way from the Tagus Estuary to the Guincho Beach. Thanks to its close proximity to Lisbon and therefore quickly and easily accessible, ESTORIL is well served by rail and road, most notably the scenic coast road known as the Estrada Marginal.
The Estoril coast's climate is temperate throughout the year and never subject to any extreme weather conditions. Estoril has wonderful beaches like "Praia de Tamariz" near the Estoril Train Station.
Estoril has excellent restaurants offering a wide choice of fish and seafood. Our VT group had dinner here Saturday at a restaurant near the Estoril Casino.
Hans and I walked a few times to Estoril from Cascais, as a continuous promenade runs from Sao Joao de Estoril to Cascais.
A Casino and a Beach
by Imaniac
We stayed in Estoril on our Portugal Trip. From there we had a great opportunity to go to Lisbon, which is really close.
The main thing in Estoril is the Casino, which is amon the biggest in Europe. If not THE biggest.
