ABOUT THIS VLOG:
➡ Cascais, Portugal, has for many years been a popular tourist destination for sunshine hungry people. Cascais actually became popular before Lisbon, which is why Cascais is a very polished area that today is where the rich and famous live in their huge mansions.
Cascais has a lot to offer so it can be hard to know where to start.
What we did was to explore the best and most popular things to do which includes the old town of Cascais, Boca do Inferno, Guincho Beach and Cabo da Roca.
The old town of Cascais is super charming and a great place to relax and just enjoy life. There are a lot of tourists traps, but if you do your research you will be just fine. This is also a place where you can shop til you drop although the selection isn't overly impressive.
A short drive from Cascais Old Town is Boca do Interno, which is a beach front cliff area with magnificent views and nice restaurants. It's a wonderful place to come a unwind and just enjoy the waves coming in. And speaking of waves Guincho Beach is an obvious must-visit. This is the go-to beach of Cascais, where surfers, tanners, tourists and locals mix together in a good blend without causing too much traffic. The beautiful beach is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and hotels including Fortaleza do Guincho, which has a 1-star Michelin restaurant that is worth visiting.
Finally, visiting Cabo da Roca is great way to end the day and enjoy the sunset. This is the most western point of continental Europe, which is also why lots of tourists flock to the place. There are a lot of tourists, which is a drawback, but you can't beat that view. It's just incredible!
NEW HERE?

We're Amalie and Joen. A Danish couple from Copenhagen who have moved to Lisbon, Portugal.
This vlog is all about showing our new home, how life in Portugal is and of course a bunch of epic adventures around this beautiful country.
We hope you'll stick around. :-)

LOL Same people that also clap when you upload a video ;)
fun fact:
Casino Estoril in Cascais inspired Ian Fleming to write Casino Royal..during WW2 , Portugal was neutral, so Lisbon became the center of espionage during the war, in which British and German spies mingled at the Casino...
Interesting facts about Cascais area:
- Biggest casino in Europe
- During WW2 it was a spy hub from both axis and allied forces as Portugal was neutral during the war
- The Italian, Spanish, Romanian Royal Families were exiled in Cascais for years
- Ian Fleming creator of James Bond was a spy during WW2 in this area and he wrote Casino Royale while based here. The first Casino Royale was shot in part in Estoril and Guincho beach
- It is originally a fishing town and by the end 19th century became hotspot for aristocrats and wealthy people, still keeping its charm and its fishing activities being one of the biggest fish markets in Portugal
- It celebrated 650 years as a town couple years ago
- It's one of europe's best sailing destinations having hosted America's Cup arguably the F1 of sailing; also the ISAF world sailing championship and others
- It hosts one of the best horseriding championships in the world, the Longines Global Champions Tour for 13 years now
- It host the European Tour Golf Portugal Masters
- It has one of the most mythical race tracks where there used to be F1 and Moto GP - bikes are returning next couple years its under negotiation
- Major surfing and kite surfing destination
Probably more but that's it for now : )
Fun facts:
1. James Bond first book, Casino Royal, was written...in Cascais (so Casino Royal is based..in Casino Estoril).
2. Cascais was famous for having/living there ''more kings then 5 Star hotels" (examples: Edward VIII (UK) + Juan Carlos (Spain) + Umberto (Italy) + Carol (Romania), etc)
Yeah, I thought it showed they didn't do their homework by saying Cascais isn't super interesting when there's actually so much more than what meets the eye (charming as it might be). It could have just been a pretty former fishermen town but became much more than that… Loads of stories which could have been told and almost mandatory places they didn't visit/show made this vlog a bit underwhelming.
the history of Casino Estoril is a fun fact...surprised they didn't know about that
I wish I had a million Euros so that I could sponsor you to do this "ad eternum" because what you do is really relaxing, the music is gorgeous and I miss my Country.
That is so sweet of you ❤️
I'm completely addicted to your videos! Honestly you are becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs in the world ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful and super fun vlog! Your editing/filming skills are amazing!
Thank you Maria 🌹
🤗🇵🇹 👋🏻 3 of the views so far are from me 😉
I went to Cascais twice in my 3 months in Portugal. It’s a beautiful town. The first time was on a whim, with my Step-Mother after we dropped my daughter off at the airport. She has friends who had told her about it... and among her friends it’s known as the Portuguese Riviera.
Love that guitar player... big happy smiles!
The area was teaming with spies during WWII and did you know that the former King of England and is wife, Wallis Simpson moved there? And, Sir Ian Fleming was inspired by the Palácio in Estoril and it’s really the birth place of James Bond. Fascinating history!
Joen. That hat looked great on you!
During the World War II there were more kings without a throne in cascais than Hotels.
Jesuscger Right!! 😃
And dear Jen, there is a board game, "Estoril 1942", inspired in the WWII side events that occured on this area. th-cam.com/video/zme_zxtXeWQ/w-d-xo.html
That is really cool!!

if for you having a soul means being a poor city than maybe yes Lisbon was a poor city in the 90's from your perspective, but Lisbon was wild and untamed back then (watch Wim Wenders "Lisbon story" although I do think you will not like it and call it poor), nowadays is just becoming a big soulless city that has been swallowed by hordes of tourists.
JUST NO.... Lisbon looked like it was a city recovering from some war until 10 years ago. Now it is becoming a proper capital city of western europe....
Ahahahahhahahah Proper city from the western world !!!!! don't make me laugh, like it's a compliment to be the same as every other materialistic cities @@ZEROZERO-xx3qm "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. - Krishnamurti" As always the price to pay will be high...
I lived in central Lisbon in 2001 and it didnt looked poor at all compared to the other cities in the country. I guess the gap is even bigger now.
@@Bracarensis I was living in the 90's on the other side of the river, in Barreiro and had a happy childhood and teenager years there and although it wasn't everyday great and i couldn't afford tons of stuff, it was very far from a "poor" place...it was a great learning experience that structured my living until today...having it all is the best way to not be able to appreciate the little (and most important things) in life !
You should have tried the Santini icecreams. They're one of Cascais biggest "attractions", people come from Lisboa and Sintra just for the icecreams. It's classic
São diferentes da loja do chiado?
São a casa original, no entanto a qualidade é exatamente a mesma na minha opinião. O que diferencia mais é o ambiente, basta estar em Cascais em vez de no meio de Lisboa
Os gelados de Santini de fruta são bons, não acho que sejam tão bons os de chocolate etc. Para mim, os gelados de Amorino são melhores. E para o melhor gelado mais todo o ambiente do lugar, tem que ir a Ericeira... Nutwood. Yum
Another really great video! Keep the charm and the class! Cascais, Estoril, and Carcavelos deserve more videos! KTGW!
😂😂😂 The same pleople who clap when planes land.
Awesome video guys! Cabo de Roca's one of my favourite spots in Portugal.
Tomorrow and next Tuesday it will be 28ºC/29ºC in the Setúbal region, you should go to Sesimbra´s beach!
12:18 you have the tan of a Portuguese truck driver 😁
Nothing like blending with the locals.
what skin color do you consider Portuguese?
i invite you both to millenium estoril open (tennis) cascais 27april to 7may. big hub
Good !!!!! A good experience, I'm Sure they will love it!!!
Beautiful video guys, near Cascais can visit Estoril with beautiful houses, Estoril casino, beaches, etc.
Thanks, Paulo! We have yet to explore Estoril. Would be nice to make a casino vlog, but I doubt that they allow cameras :D
@@joenandamalie Yes, inside the casino you can not film, but you can film in the gardens, the casino has a good bar to drink gin.
@@joenandamalie And there are 007 facts about the casino, look it up. ;-)
Next stop: Sintra!
Trust me, you will love it :)
GUYS: You skipped the nicest things about Cascais, that was really poor sorry..... As foodies, you were supposed to have something in the marina (or sail even) or other lovely restaurants, Santini, visit the fortress for art galleries or painters' house Casa das Histórias (Paula Rego) and Museu Condes Castro de Guimares , the sea museum or Cascais cultural centre or something. Also gardens, several old palaces, restaurants and a sushi hotel Casa da Guia over the sea worth visiting. You also missed heavily on the History part. Do something about Hotel Palácio in Estoril and the Casino or places to stay like luxury airbnb's or hotels, since you say you love luxury so much...
Agree
Guincho is never full of people...due to strong wind, low sea temperature, and big waves! Not even in summer.
We like empty beaches actually 🏖🙌
Thank you. Love seeing the sea and this part of the area near Lisbon. To our Portuguese native speakers in European Portuguese, is it pronounced Cashcaish. Both s with chiados. Thanks. Always confused.
yep thats the way!!
Carlos SLB thanks always wondered.
In fact is not "sh" but a slight "j", Cajcaij
Cascais is indeed lovely to relax (when you don't have to zig-zag between thousands of people, especially when warm weather comes) and enjoy the seaside, outside Lisbon. Outstanding drone footage once again *clap clap clap*.
PS: Portuguese lesson: you don't read the "u" in "Guincho", or any other word with "gui" (like the town "Guimarães") or "gue" (like "guerra" = war), except for "gua" (like the town "Guarda") where you DO read it. There. That's 80€, please.
So it does get super crowed at Guincho beach? Because we were told that it rarely does.
Thanks for the crash course :D! We need to get better at all these small rules! Here's your 80€ 💶
@@joenandamalie Don't know about Guincho, but Cascais (town centre and harbor) does get quite populated in the summer. But I'm sure that's no surprise for you by now.
Thanks! * puts money in pocket * Glad to help! 🧐
Like in Spanish! I should be able to learn a little Portuguese before my trip!
Nice ending guys!
Well done, 😂 beautifull sunset scenary right there where Europe begins and ends, amazing, i'm looking forward to see more of this stuff!
Thank you so much 🌹
Guys it is amaaazing how many great places there are around Lisboa, thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching 🌹
Lisbon was a poor city in 90's?!!!
Huuuu...is that real?...This vlog...course...😁😁😁
Yes it is actually true. A lot of people and business suffered in the 90’s here in Lisbon. The state made it very difficult for anyone to make or even keep their money with a lot of regulations and so... :) at least that what the financial story book says ❤️ Good thing that it’s has changed.
LOL The guy saying to portuguese that "it is true" LOL Cascais has been snobbish upper class for decades including european queens, kings, consuls, spies and writers, and he surely does not know Estoril's history nor that Lisbon started the 90's as Europe's Cultural Capital and making huge renovations in large extensions for the World Expo of the Oceans LOL
So informative, visually entertaining and funny 🤣.
I love Cascais coast... nice video guys, 😊😊😊
Thank you 🌹
stay classy vlog , beach , lisbon.. easy like
Thank you ☺️
Guincho (we spell it without saying the "U"), it's most of the times a very windy place, and so the beach is mostly for surf and windsurf.Or for those who enjoy windy places, though lol
Fancy some football today? Portugal plays Serbia tonight at Estádio da Luz. 🇵🇹🇷🇸 It's a very different vibe from the league games you've been to. A more diverse and relaxed crowd... though this game is important! 😬 You can get great tickets (lower bowl) for just €15! Your football vlogs seem to do 5 to 10x better than all the others so why not? C'mon, should be lots of fun... 🤪🤪🤪
Yes, I'd like to see that!!!
I will be there. 😃🇵🇹
We are going ;)
Why isn’t bas dost training ?
Hahaha
Love your videos. I know this is one of your earlier ones. The editing makes me have motion sickness! LOL.
Hehe we’ve improved a lot since 😃
12:20 so white your skin :) a real viking :)
I dont think Joen would inspire or elicit terror when he is on the beach like the Vikings of old lol.
Haha.. 😅
you should have gone to conde de castro guimarens! tip from a cascais inhabitant
visit peniche
Hello there;
Just for your own reference consider also a trip to Madeira, as a possible future travel destination, and be blown away by the beauty of the archipelago. Enjoy your stay in Portugal.
We are going very soon actually 🙌😍
I have a cool fact 4u, berliners were brought by jewish refugees during WWII to Cascais, the locals didn't like the jam too much so they adapted the filling and Bola-de-Berlim was born.
The best place in Portugal. I❤️ Cascais 😊
Hey guys,
Here in the USA, Portugal 🇵🇹 is the top country to visit in Europe this year....I can see why both of you do a awesome 👏 job...I can see a holiday/vacation planners in your future 💰 keep those classy vlogs coming.
Thank you ☺️ we hope to inspire some Americans to go different places here in Portugal then 🇵🇹🙌🥰
STAY CLASSY VLOG you guys inspire me to explore this country more! I only been to Sintra, Cascais and Lisbon. As a American, Cabo da Roca and driving to Cascais reminds me of the coastline of highway 1(aka Pacific Coast Highway) in California.
that’s the hometown of Paula Rego. that’s also the city were the former king of spain lost his virginity. yeah, I know, they created a monster lol
Great videos. I like your humorous take on things. It would be very helpful if you included the names of the places you visit in the description. Thank you! Subscribed!
A casa que se vê no minuto 8.09, é de uma grande amiga minha :)
Isso não é um lugar ruim para se viver :)
@@joenandamalie Ahahah Mesmo!!
❤️❤️
@@joenandamalie dcp podes me dizer o que é "ruim"?
@@jmg7409 é a tua cara :) hahaha
Great job as always guys. Here are some more suggestions... Walk on "paredão" (nice to stop for lunch or a drink around sunset), pick up a bike and ride to "Guía" for another drink. But there's also the non touristy part of Cascais and that includes the historic neighborhood (not where you said it was, it's a little inland), Quinta do pisão (pick your own organic vegetables), cut through the beautiful park near the marina (Marechal Carmona) and walk on the dunes near praia do guincho. And you can explore tiny towns on the way to Cabo de Roca, like Ulgueira. Just more suggestions for another day trip. :)
Love all your vlogs. As a Canadian visiting Portugal for the first time in a few weeks I'm feeling much more prepared and excited! Thanks for your funny and insightful captions.
Thank you so much Carmella. We hope you stick around ❤️
If you look on a dictionary for the definition of the word CLASSY.. In front of the word is a picture of Amalie.. OMG
Haha, João 🙈 That is so sweet. Thank you 🌹
Boca Roca. lol. You should register the name. Has a great feeling. like pantagonia or North face. alpha male trademark.
Haha 😂
Thank you for your video, but I have to say this. Yes, Crowley was a "sketchy dude" but where did you get the information that he was a paedophile? Yes, he did a lot of dubious things, a reasonable person would condemn many of his deeds. But a paedophile? I don't think it's cool to spread slunder about people who are just not normies. It's the logic of a witchhunt and any other persecutions
I walked from Cascais to Guincho Beach (and back) in flip flops and loved every minute of it.
You guys had me at the "built by pygmies for pygmies" part. I'm subscribing!
♥️😂
Hello. I see recently very videos about you. And you have class. But.. you don t know portugal. Because where become portugal? Born in Guimarães. When you got it. You love real where is portugal. Is a short cut for you. For understend the isense.. real. If you whant a guide.. i help. Congrets. I like you boths. Amazing you are. Congratulations..
Congratulations on your Vlog which I follow with great joy, however I must say this video about Cascais is the poorest I have seen. Maybe it’s because i live near and I know the gems you were looking for and didn’t showed. You’ve just pin pointed the spots where all the tourists go. I really really really like your Vlog 😉 but being a Cascais local I had to say it. Feel free to speak to me if you want to know some hidden gems in Cascais. Enjoy 🇵🇹 and thank you for showing our ( yours too ) country.
Nice video next time don’t miss PARQUE MARECHAL CARMONA great place to spend a couple of hours.
James Bond, was inspirado in Cascais. The first, i thing.
Cascais was were most King and quer na hinding.
Cascais, Estoril and São João do Estoril is where the most rich people live.
Portuguese and foreigners.
The true most western point of Europe is on the Açores 😊
Haha, you can argue that, however it’s not a part of the continent 😅
Jon and Amelie, you are a such a cute and beautiful couple you seem to have a such a sweet playful relationship. I know Amelie wants you to propose to her, and you day you are not for the institution of marriage,but it's not really about that to most women. An engagement is and marriage is like a vow of commitment through sickness and health and happiness and sadness, a bow to spend the rest of your lives together. A wedding does not have to be over the top and it can happen some years later after engagement. My advice to you is just to do for your sweetheart Amelie, know as a women how important that vow is and the ring is just a symbol of that vow and commitment to each other. She already knows you love her I'm sure buy that official commitment will make her live you even more! Just do it for her💕💝💖😍 I really admire your relationship, its so sweet to watch.
Some of the music in this video was pretty hilarious. I hope that was intentional. The flute song made me laugh pretty hard.
Wow! How did you take those dramatic photos. I stayed near there but the BOCA DO INFERNO never perform like that for me 😄 the little coffee places (2) were the perfect place for breakfast. Excellent coffee and snacks.
Does anybody know melody at 02:19? It's on the tip of my tongue. I'm in the midst of musical blackout xD
Ads, ads, ads. You have a fun, energetic attitude, guys, yet we could do with a little less guitar and a little more on the Largo do Camoes, Viscont de Luz, train station, the real Mercado. But are you really making enough money from the annoying ads?
Boca do inferno it means mouth of the hell.
Is there a fantastic restaurant and much more about Cascais.
Some people had died there, they got to close to the waves and disappeared under the caves.
Them bodies had being found days later.😢
Cascais and Estoril area are also known as the Portuguese Riviera and home of portuguese bourgeoisie.
Well done Guys. You are amazing. I like your English accent too. Just don't shake and play with the camera too much please.
Haha thank you 😅
Cascais has its unique atmosphere. Too bad is way overcrowded now.
11:47 a dane complaining about cold water? 🤔 you should lose your danish passport for that... 🤣
Nice work edition, Couple.
Thank you 😘
#couplegoals 😍
Cabo da Roca is Sintra already. Nice vídeo, as usual 😊
The camera work 20 seconds into the video made me vomit. Thanks
Ey
In guincho you don't read the 'u' as it is silent
As to cabo da rocha when there is a 'c' followed by an 'h' you read it like the shhh sound in shut
So its more like rosha
Cascais has the worls record for most Spies per square meter. during WWII
I lived3years of my life there it's better not in summer to relax and walk your dog by the water
I know you complimented you before, and deservedly so but I am afraid I have to do it again. I look forward and enjoy your videos as much as the desert missed the rain.
Thank you for the kind words and thank your for always being so supportive of us ❤️
I only have one comment to make and it’s that under the 90’s until 2005 Lisbon had a soul and nowadays that’s lost!otherwise great video
Maybe Madonna ruined it by moving there lol
All beach restaurants close at 7 pm all week (May 23 2022). : (
Fun fact Lisboa was never poor😂😂😂
I love watching your videos I’m from São Miguel Island if you guy’s ever in Ponta Delgada again you should drive up to Nordeste it’s beautiful up there
Thank you for the suggestions and for watching ❤️
to Amelia th-cam.com/video/tic8NYvTHZ8/w-d-xo.html
Well done video, guys. Aesthetically, technically, music, humor, etc, very enjoyable all around.
Thank you so very much for the kind words ❤️❤️🇵🇹
The next time you go to cabo da roca folow the same road more 1 or 2km and turn right to the midlle of Serra de Sintra and stop at PENINHA. In there you'l find amazing views from the top and a place to start trekking downhill.
Thank you for the nice suggestions ❤️
I finally got to watch a video and say hey! I've been there! Just got back from Portugal and it was amazing!
@MrReallionaire100 Have you ben to Portugal?
@MrReallionaire100 Why have you always had a fascination with Portugal?
Awesome video
Thank you 😊
im so proud cause joen lost some weigth. he still has no abs but hes improved.
amalie was already thin so that doesnt count
Thank you Haha. Yes is a real hot stud now 😍
U should defently visit baleal São Martinho Nazaré all that coast beaches are way better then Cascais
We actually already been there. However we have yet a lot to explore 🙌
The guy on the guitar is Mário "O Trovador"
Another great vlog! Super relaxing too! But I must saw that a part two could exist ;) Rua direita and other little streets could be featured (really pretty houses), Santini icecreams (1st ever santini shop in Portugal) , images of the baia de cascais, praia da rainha, parque marchel carmona (beautiful city park), cidadela de cascais, Museu Condes Castro de Guimares (stunning fairytale building), casa das Histórias (cool building -Paula Rego is a well knowed Portuguese artist), marina de cascais and the guincho road is a super scenic road (maybe you guys could cycle along there - they rent bikes along there. Also casa da guia has nice cafes (pricey) and super nice view. beijinhosss
Maybe you will get a part two some day. Thank you for watching 🌹
Azores are most Western European
Im Glad you and Amalie is enjoying my beautifull city of Cascais . I hope you guys go to sintra aswell there is alot of amazing places to see there.

Cascais Portugueses's Riviera

Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Não falem p mim, que a vossa voz irrita me
This vlog was on point, back to form.
Thank you so much 🙈😍
Sorry Cabo da Roca is in Sintra
movele la camara a tu hermana
portugal is a good life :)
"Lisbon was just some poor city in the 90's"!! LOL Most random snobbish northern european comment ever.... Cascais has been upper class for decades and Lisbon started the 90's as Europe's cultural capital and large extensions of the city were renovated to host Expo of the Oceans!! Basically all the area of Parque das Nações and more were built by then!
freeseagull Freeseaguel I respect your opinion but if you see & hear John he is really a cool and funny guy .Im sure he didn’t say that comment in a negative way,it’s just his personality I guess.
I love them they are so relaxed Zen and bring freshness to TH-cam*
@@jetstar1972 Personally I would not stand him for 24h, but that's just how mediterranean girls roll (I've had nordic boyfriends thanks, I know that mild comments like that one hide a lot of hypocrisy and sometimes even racism - you saw how he treated her when sparkling water run out?)...besides Cascais was never a poor city, not even when his parents were around, it has been a snobbish upper class one for decades now.
This seems to be a very fun place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
i live there
