    Hiking

    The Cidadela de Cascais is a 15th-century fortress that guarded the western end of the Tejo estuary and the small fishing port of Cascais. Today, the fortress dominates the exclusive marina of Cascais and the complex has been converted into an exclusive hotel. A short detour is definitely worth it.
