West of Lisbon, where the Tagus estuary opens into the ocean, lies the Costa do Estoril, the "Portuguese Riviera". Close enough to the capital to be easily accessible, the towns of Estoril and Cascais boast all the facilities the modern traveller could wish for, in a beautiful natural setting.

With its long tradition of hospitality, the Costa do Estoril is home to some of Portugal's best hotels and restaurants, which are renowned for their freshly caught, beautifully prepared seafood.
