Your dream destination wedding in cascais
Have you been dreaming of a beachside wedding in a castle? Do you want more reasons for your friends and family to come to your dream destination wedding, apart from the fact that you are getting married? It makes no difference if you plan to elope, have a small wedding, or a huge wedding if you choose Cascais. Today, I will tell you all the wonderful reasons why you should consider getting married in Cascais.
WHY CHOOSE CASCAIS FOR YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING
1. Cascais Offers Incredible Weather Year Round
2. Getting married with sea view
3. Cascais' Golden Triangle
The area known as O Triângulo Dourado sits between Cascais, Lisbon and Sintra, all of which are just 20 minutes from each other.
Because of this, unlike most destination wedding locations, your guests can really make a great vacation of your celebration. They can:
- Explore all the nooks and crannies of the Golden Triangle (by car or by train).
- Enjoy the good vibes of the village of Sintra and its castles.
- Spend a day or two in Lisbon, one of Europe’s capitals.
- Explore Belém, a place full of history and the birthplace of the famed Pastéis de Belém.
There is so much to do that your guests will love every second of their time in the area. Besides, the variety of the Cascais area means you can have your destination wedding on a beach, in a historical villa and even on a luxury yacht.
4. Events in the city
If your guests don’t feel like exploring so much, they can choose to stay in Cascais proper. There are tons of events happening in Cascais on a weekly basis; art exhibits, plays, concerts, and gastronomic festivals. The best part is that many of them are free.
5. World Class Cuisine
6. Nature
7. Top Notch Golf
When planning a destination wedding, you need to plan not only for yourself but also for your wedding party. Wouldn’t a day of golf be great for those friends to enjoy while being in Cascais because of your wedding? Cascais’ courses earned the location the title of “Best European Golf Destination” in 2007 and 2016. There is a Golf Academy and a Sports Center where tennis courts and a swimming pool are available to complement your stay. And if you want to take a break from it all you can always go walking or running through the Marina.
8. Bairro Dos Museus
9. Ease of Transportation
10. Cascais' Proximity to Lisbon
Perhaps one of the best thing about having your destination wedding in Cascais is its proximity to Lisbon. Why? That means your guests can stay not only in Cascais, but in many of the great areas near Cascais including Lisbon, Estoril and Cascais village.
It also means that Lisbon airport is really close by making it easy for your guests to reach their hotel and your wedding location.
There are also tons of options to get from Lisbon Airport to Cascais including a direct bus ride, the metro to the train, taxis, ubers and, of course, there are plenty of car rental companies.
