Cascais Line - A One-day Getaway From Lisbon

My second day in Portugal began on a warm morning at Cais do Sodre, along the banks of the Tagus River in Lisbon. From there, I took a unique coastal commuter line to the beach town of Cascais. Shortly after departure, I realized that the views from the train were so beautiful; I couldn't just spend the entire journey on board. Some proper railfanning would be necessary as well. After all, when else do you get to watch trains right from the beach?

Very nice video... You see, I actually live in Berlin, but.. my parents live in Caxias, just where you got the train after your walk.. I did that walk and that beach many times :)) It looks wonderful without the summer crowds.. while here in Berlin everything is cold and under snow at the moment... charming also.. but.. you can't beat Portugal :)

I’m going to Lisbon on the 14th this looks like a nice outing I may take

[@mibal10]

Sure, if you have a half day this is a lovely to get some beach vibes. The food in Cascais is great too!

I go to Lisbon nice place

[@mibal10]

Agreed, cant wait to return and explore some more of it.

[@chicagomike]

Cascais is more than a stop for tourists it’s considered very bourgeois and many Portuguese live here all year long. It is considered to be borderline high class with Estoril. It’s one of the more desired places for people that live in Lisbon that want to get outside of the city. It’s a high class suburb.

[@mibal10]

Some of the houses and villas I have seen there on my short visit were truly magnificent and thanks to the train line it's so convenient to get to Lisbon. I believe Sintra is not far by road as well. It's a great spot indeed.

[@shockcityrocker]

Which month was this visit? Just curious because I’m going in December. Hope it’s not too cold;)

[@mibal10]

This was early November and the weather was just perfect. Would expect it a bit colder in December though, maybe 10-15 Celsius? Locals may want to correct me? In any case, have fun there! :)

[@GrantMcWilliams]

I see you have a card to get on the train, what is it? How does one pay for a round trip ride for one day without too much problems?

[@mibal10]

@@GrantMcWilliams If I remember correctly, these trains are still within the Lisbon Metro system and so I just used my Lisbon 24hour pass. I am 90% on this one. Can anyone confirm?

[@walf8099]

Nowadays, there is a new Lisbon zone pass called "Navegante", it allows you to use Lisbon Metro and the Lisbon suburban trains (Cascais and Sintra lines), once you buy it, you can charge it with credits at various metro and train stations (ex. Rossio, Cais do Sodré, Oriente, etc...). If I remember correctly, the fixed price for the card is 0.50€. PS: The old Lisbon public transport pass used to be called "Viva Viagem", it was pretty much like Navegante except it had different modalities, one was just for the metro and transports within the city, the other one was the same except it included access to the Sintra line commuter trains.

[@GrantMcWilliams]

@@walf8099 Thank you. Do you know if they have day passes or if it's by trip?

[@mracer8]

⁠@@GrantMcWilliamsget the 24 hr day pass and not charge it per trip. It will cost a lot less if you travel around all day
