Holidays in Lisbon Coast

An introduction to Lisbon Coast

Holidays on the Lisbon Coast will amaze you with their unending variety. All along this slice of Portuguese shoreline, captivating cities, swish resorts, glittering sands and resplendent golf courses vie for your attention.

One of the beauties of the area is that it's miles from the Algarve beach rush. So wherever you go on holidays to the Lisbon Coast, you'll get a sneaky thrill of finding hidden gems before the tourist stampede. Take Cascais for instance. This smart seaside town is something of a local secret, but boasts whitewashed houses and a stunning sandy bay fantastic for family or couples' beach holidays. Or how about Estoril? A holiday heaven, its satin-sand beaches, high-class hotels, golf links and vibrant nightlife are perfect for grown-up breaks. Sun-and-surf lovers will also adore lively Carcavelos and picture-postcard Ericeira.

If you're set on sightseeing on your Lisbon Coast holidays, two places stand out. The hilltop town of Sintra was favoured by the Portuguese monarchy and has atmospheric UNESCO-protected streets and pan-tiled cottages topped by an awesome royal palace. Then there's Lisbon. The laid-back Portuguese capital on the River Tagus steals the heart of everyone who visits with its imposing castle, graceful squares and narrow streets bulging with trams, pavement cafes and fado houses.

Thomson match this variety with exciting, eclectic holiday choices. From summer sightseeing breaks to bargain and self-catering holidays to the Lisbon Coast … we'll lift the lid on this shimmering, seductive region.
