Beaches, a Casino and with links to James Bond, exiled Royalty and Espionage - what's not to like?
Con
Overpriced, full of tourists, little to see in the town
In a nutshell
Not worth a visit - go to Cascais instead
solopes Says: It was a long time, since my last visit to Tamariz, in Estoril, a beach with good memories from my youth. However, the new sights worried me a bit: the coast and town keeps well maintained (maybe better) but the sand in the beach has disappeared, having now half of the width...
slothtraveller Says: One of the few landmarks in Estoril is this statue of Fausto Cardoso de Figueiredo found in the peaceful park between the beach and Estoril's famous casino. Figueiredo was responsible for turning Estoril into the successful resort it is today. The development of the casino...
Take a walk along the promenade to Cascais
slothtraveller Says: You can just get on the train to Cascais, but a much better idea is to take a relaxing 20 minute walk along the promenade. On one side of the promenade, you will find quite a few bars and restaurants as well as access to the rail stations at Estoril and Monte Estoril. The...
slothtraveller Says: At one end of the promenade linking Estoril and Cascais, you will find Tamariz beach with its clean waters and sand ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is ideally located right next to Estoril railway station from where the centre of Lisbon is only 30 minutes...

Bar do Tunel.: Great little reggae snack bar.
cachaseiro Says: I am generally a fan of small snack bars where the local working class people meet for a bite of food and a drink while watching a bit of football or listening to some music.I was very happily suprised to see that Estoril train station does not only have one of those, but...
Costa Do Estoril: Where I turned 56
pieter_jan_v Says: Restaurant Costa Do Estoril is a great restaurant. One of the Euromeet2009 diners was held here and it was overwhelming. There was a wide variety of starters; a bit of evrything Portugal has to offer. The covered terras was the place to start and offered enough possibilities...
solopes Says: I'm not a gambler and each time I visit a Casino I plan in advance the total amount to spend by each member of the family. I'm glad to notice that everybody, even the boys, accept it naturally, and have no temptation to risk one more cent. That kind of discipline and concept...
Estoril Casino: Gamble among the spies
pieter_jan_v Says: The Estoril Casino advertises itself as the lagest Casino.It has a reputation as a espionage agents "meeting" place (started in WWII); here Ian Fleming was inspired for his 007 novel Casino Royale.Hours: 3PM - 3AM.For entrance to the first floor you need a passport and the...
Walking between Estoril and Cascais
SWFC_Fan Says: Prior to my first visit to the Lisbon region in March 2011, I decided that I would like to visit the nearby seaside towns of Estoril and Cascais.However, I was unsure as to how easy it would be to get from one to the other on foot. Ideally, I was hoping to be able to walk...
Trains between Lisbon and Estoril
SWFC_Fan Says: I made use of the train between Lisbon and Estoril during my visits to Lisbon in March and December 2011.The following information was correct as at the time of my visits:Trains depart from Lisbon's Cais do Sodre train station, which can easily be reached on the city's green...
gmresq Says: Adding some additional tips: 1. For the last few years, the bus from airport to Estoril/Cascais has not been running. 2. Bus to train or, now, metro to train is easy3. From Estoril, Monte Estoril and Cascais railroad stations, you can easily walk a short distance to the...
slothtraveller Says: Estoril is located on the Cascais Line that follows the coast from Lisbon's Cais de Sodre station all the way to Cascais.From Estoril, Cascais is only a short 2 or 3 minute train ride. The ride to Lisbon is also relatively short, only thirty minutes or so. Trains are...

Helpfulness
Not much people remarks the look of the train station, but it is a very curious construction. Dating from the end of the 19th century, it is very near the beach. Funny thing - I couldn't find anything written about it!

Along the promenade between Cascais and Estoril, you will find CIRCUITO ACTIVO. The community wanted to promote healthy lifestyles and get people active. An area was set up with sit-up beds, monkey bars, and many other excercise venues. Hansi did some sit-ups and got to the count of ten, before he tuckered out. Maybe our community should have something like that along our jogging trails.
