A tour of Cascais to see the main attractions of the resort takes about 3-4 hours, as all the architectural monuments and historical sites are located relatively close to each other. Alternatively, tourists may be interested in a Cascais sightseeing bus tour or a walking tour based on a Cascais sightseeing map.
In most cases, Cascais walking routes start from the train station across the main road to the small, picturesque beach of Praia da Rainha, where Queen Dona Emilia liked to relax.
After relaxing on the beach, the tour heads downtown to the main shopping street, Rua Direita, which overlooks the two squares of Alama Combatentes Grande Guerra and Largo Luis Camões. Here tourists can have lunch in cafes or buy souvenirs in local stores. The tour route then follows to the park, cultural center, church and exits to the city port. In the park there are several reservoirs that are home to turtles. There is also the chapel of St. Sebastian and the Condesa de Castro Guimarães Museum.
