Cascais: Glamour, Luxury and Decay by The Lisbon Coastline

Nowadays Cascais is one of the most popular leisure, sports and culture destinations in the Lisbon region, for locals and tourists alike. It's also the most sought-after and expensive residential area in the metropolitan area of Lisbon, this in stark contrast with most of its history as a small and humble fishing village. In this tour we try to show, but also to understand and question how Cascais changed so radically.
