N 38º 41' 49''; W 9º 25' 14''
Cascais and its municipality are at the south-western end of the Lisbon Peninsula, which borders on the north with Sintra, on the east with Oeiras, and the south and west with the Atlantic Ocean. It has its westernmost point in Cabo Raso, and its easternmost point in Talaíde, on the right bank of Ribeira da Laje. Its northernmost point, as well as the highest, is in Peninha, which rises 465 meters.
The village of Cascais has located 27 km from Lisbon, next to the seafront, in a small bay. It is the fifth most populous village in Portugal (after Algueirão - Mem Martins, Corroios, Rio de Mouro, and Oeiras).
Climate
The whole municipality has a humid temperate climate, with a dry and temperate summer. The municipality has a temperature gradient that increases according to latitude, the interior is colder than the urbanized areas of the coast, Sassoeiros, and Talaíde. The winters are very mild, being one of the most pleasant places in the metropolitan area thanks to the effect of an urban island, the proximity to the sea, the good exposure to the south, the Sintra mountains (which houses part of the north wind council) and the passage of the hot gulf stream. Summers follow the same tonic, because this is the most western municipality in Portugal, therefore having a greater proximity to the ocean. In particular, it is due to the coastal outcrop caused by the northern winds, which cause the deepest and coldest waters to emerge and remove the warmer, surface waters.
The former fishing village gained fame as a resort for Portugal's royal family in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Nowadays, it is a popular vacation spot for both Portuguese and foreign tourists.
It is located on the Estoril Coast (also known as the Portuguese Riviera), in the Greater Lisbon subregion.] It has an airport for general aviation serving the Lisbon Region in Tires (S. Domingos de Rana), the Cascais Aerodrome, that also offers domestic scheduled flights by Aero VIP.
