How to spend 3 days in Cascais, Portugal? including Cabo da Roca & Praia da Ursa | Aliz’s Wonderland

Cascais is an incredible little city by the ocean, not far from Lisbon. Its area is called Portuguese Riviera. However, Cascais is more than pretty beaches. It provides natural wonders, architectural gems, culture, seafood experiences and Cabo da Roca is also nearby. Most of the people visit the city only for a day or less, though you might wonder… Is a day trip to Cascais enough? Hmmm barely… That’s why we spent 3 days in Cascais and in this video I’ll show you the beautiful places we’ve visited.
Let’s see how to spend 3 days in Cascais.
00:18 DAY 1 - TRAVELLING TO CASCAIS + DISCOVERING THE CENTRE OF CASCAIS
- Travelling to Cascais from Lisbon Cais Do Sodré train station. Trains leave approximately every 20 minutes and a ticket costs only 2,75 EUR.
- Discovering the historical centre of Cascais - Rua dos Navegantes & Museu da Vila
- Eating ice cream at Santini, one of the best ice cream shops in Portugal
- Mercado da Vila
- Beach time at Praia da Ribeira
- Dinner at Bar Restaurante John Bull
04:13 DAY 2 - DAY TRIP TO CABO DA ROCA AND PRAIA DA URSA, THE SECRET BEACH
- Cabo da Roca
Travelling to Cabo da Roca by bus 403 from Cascais. This bus goes between Cascais and Sintra every half an hour. From the centre of Cascais, it takes around 25 minutes to get to Cabo da Roca, the most western point of the European continent.
The coastal path offers a fantastic view of the vast ocean. Always look at the signs, there are some restricted areas, of course, the panorama is the best from those spaces. If you're sensitive to wind and cold, bring a sweater or jacket because this place is windy.
- Praia da Ursa
After walking on the cliff’s edge, we headed to Praia da Ursa. From the Cabo da Roca bus station we needed 40 minutes to reach the beach on foot. The scenic path to the beach was sometimes steep, sometimes slippery and sometimes narrow.
The beach is amazingly beautiful with the surrounding cliffs, totally worth the hike! It’s not so busy thanks to its hidden location. The water was super cold and the waves were strong… I guess you noticed it in the video… ;)
08:11 DAY 3 - BEACH TIME AND MORE THINGS TO DO IN CASCAIS
- Praia da Duquesa
We started our day at the beach of Praia da Duquesa to avoid intense sunlight during the day. Then we went home and had a 2nd breakfast in our yard, which belonged to our super cute Airbnb apartment. We relaxed a bit before exploring other parts of Cascais.
- Boca do Inferno
Boca do Inferno, the “Mouth of Hell” is located at the seaside, around 15-20 minutes walk from the city centre. After watching the waves, we walked on the seaside back to the city centre and the Museum Quarter.
- Bairro dos Museus (Museum Quarter)
Museum Quarter is a cultural district, dedicated to art. Many museums are part of it, though we stopped only at these ones:
- Casa das Histórias Paula Rego
- Farol Museu de Santa Marta
- Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães
- Centro Cultural de Cascais
- Cidadela
- We finished a day with a dinner at Baía do Peixe

As far as I know you can only get to Ursa by foot! No boats

That's also what I know. But if someone has a private boat, everything is possible ;)
