In this guide, I’ll outline essential details, such as the 2024 dates and highlight local specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cascais mixes traditional Portuguese celebrations with a touch of maritime influence at Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend soaking up the coastal ambience and witnessing the town’s unique festivities that draw locals and tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cascais Christmas Market 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas market in Cascais historic centre highlights Portuguese traditions and cuisine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stalls showcasing artisan crafts exclusive to the region and unique food stalls serving traditional Portuguese treats. Local performers often entertain visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Christmas Village, you can visit Santa’s House and the Enchanted Forest at the Christmas Village and skate at the ice rink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not just a market; it’s an experience that reflects the heart of the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotels in Cascais<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most visitors to Cascais prefer to stay near the beach, and there are plenty of options with coastal views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend Hotel Baia<\/a> as it’s in the Old Town but still well located near the beach. Some rooms have ocean views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many excellent places to stay in Lisbon<\/a> if you want more options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
