Whether you decide to stay in the city of Lisbon itself or choose to spend your golfing holiday based along the lovely coastline, you will not be short of things to see and do.
Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, stretches along the banks of the Tagus river. The city has many fine buildings with facades clad in ornate ceramic tiles and the fortress from which Lisbon first developed is surrounded by medieval streets. Trams run through the city adding to its charm and there are plenty of good shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy as well as fantastic nightlife along the river banks.
On the outskirts of the city are the cosmopolitan, seaside resorts of Estoril and Cascais with their numerous shops, restaurants and bars. Enjoy the Casino in Estoril for an evening out or spend some time walking along the marina in Cascais. The famous beach of Guincho is only a few minutes away for those who enjoy surfing and windsurfing. Or why not take the local train into the centre of Lisbon itself for a great day or evening out.
Cross over the river and travel south of Lisbon through the quiet countryside of the Costa Azul to Sesimbra, a picturesque fishing town with a medieval castle on top of the hill, and enjoy a more gentle life style. This seaside resort is popular with the Portuguese and the restaurants serving traditional food are well worth an evening out!
There are now fourteen excellent golf courses around Lisbon, all of a good standard and offering golfers great value for money. That could be why this area is becoming such a popular golfing destination!
