The Estoril Coast has a rich historical past. A tantalising range of historical buildings and other sites of cultural interest all lie within easy reach.
Cascais has several places of cultural and historical interest, notably the Condes de Castro Guimarães Museum, the Museum of the Sea and a number of old churches and forts.
In the Sintra hills, the National Palace, the Moorish Castle, Pena Palace, Monserrate and Regaleira are all fascinating.
Between Sintra and Lisbon lies Queluz Palace, a smaller version of Versailles.
In the northern part of the region, the glorious sound of the bells of Mafra’s huge National Palace and Convent is legendary.
