Why Cascais?

Some friends ask us why we have decided to live in Cascais. We have the flexibility to live anywhere, why

1. Incredible Beauty. For examples check the photos here of the area where we live:

2. Outdoors

3. Clean air

4. Mild moderate weather: Never cold in the winter (10-18 celsius), never hot in the summer (16-26 celsius).
   *Cascais is around 5 degrees cooler than Lisbon in the summer because of the Atlantic.

5. Safety

6. Proximity to Lisbon: While there’s more offerings launching in Cascais every (week month) we like to go to Lisbon for dinners, lunches, walks etc. From our House to Lisbon it takes ~20 minutes on the highway to Lisbon.

7. Ok airport: This one could be a lot better and would not compare to major city airports but there are direct flights to NY, Toronto, Miami, Boston, SF, Dubai, Istanbul and most European Tier1/2 cities. The airport while not great, is small, very convenient (35 mins from home) and we get to our gate in less than 10 minutes from car drop-off.

8. Community: always meeting very interesting people, incredibly nice Portuguese people and expats there for great reasons: outdoors, surfing, quality of life, family and other good things.
