After exploring the charm of downtown Cascais, make sure to walk to “Boca do Inferno” (aprox. 30 minutes and all relatively flat). The cliffs and crashing waves will mesmerize you! (Also, it’s a fantastic place to watch the sunset) Enjoy the sunset from one of our many “miradouros” (viewpoints) A great thing about having a hilly city is numerous viewpoints to watch the sunset from. The one we recommend the most is Miradouro Nossa Senhora do Monte that offers a 270 degree view of Lisbon. Other fantastic lookouts are Miradouro da Graca, Portas do Sol, Santa Luzia, São Pedro de Alcântara and Jardim do Torel. Loved your experience with Eating Europe?
