Language and currency in Cascais

In Cascais, like in the rest of Portugal, Portuguese is the official language. Being a city that’s very tourist-oriented, you’ll find that most locals speak English very well. Actually, practising your Portuguese can be tough as you’ll probably get answers in English. Like other destinations with a different language than yours, it’s kind to learn some basic words like “Bom dia”, “Obrigada” and “Se faz favor”. The local currency is the Euro. At most places, you can pay by card and you’ll also find a lot of ATMs (Multibancos) around the city.

Getting around in Cascais

The best way to discover Cascais is on foot! Cascais is a rather small city and you can do almost everything on foot. If you want to go a little quicker or further, you can always rent a bike. Also, to get to the Marina, where most boat tours in Cascais start, you can easily go on foot. It’s about a 20-min walk from the train station or 7-8 min by taxi.

The train line from Lisbon to Cascais works rather well, It’s actually a very nice ride, along the sea and the river. If you’d like to explore the region around Cascais from Lisbon to Sintra, we recommend renting a car.
