Cascais for digital nomads Gebietsführer

Exploring the world is no longer restricted to the vacation season

Exploring the world is no longer restricted to the vacation season. The trend of remote work is here to stay and today there are many people who work thousands of miles away from their company headquarters. This is what being a digital nomad is all about: choosing the place where you want to set up your office and immersing yourself in the experiences of that place. Cascais is a perfect choice: it has sea, mountains and a lively town. In short, a dream lifestyle. Need more reasons? We've got it covered.

Find your coworking space

Not every place makes the ideal office. And not all people like to work where they live. There is an answer to these needs: LACS, a creative cluster, has a centre in Cascais, with coworking spaces designed for those who don't have a permanent office. At DNA Cascais, you'll find the business support you need to run your own business in Cascais. Hotels are also beginning to adjust to this trend. Find your favorite coworking space here.

Enjoy the energy that stimulates creativity

Cascais is the right formula to awaken your creative side - nature has always been the main resource for those looking for inspiration. Here, there is countryside and sea as far as the eye can see, there are forest trails and rocks to climb. With so many muses, this is the effect: a stream of good ideas.

Start the day jogging by the sea

Imagine: waking up and starting your day jogging by the sea. A privilege that doesn't exist in all places. Even better when it's a sea wall, with a flat floor and several exercise stations set up near the beach, where you can complement your jogging with other movements to strengthen your body and mind. If you' re not a morning person, go during lunchtime or at the end of the day. It will feel just as good, because at any occasion, you can finish the day with a swim in the ocean. A luxury that is not easily found.

Discover one of the richest gastronomies in the world

Despite being surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Cascais has much more to offer. Because quality breaks are essential for productivity, have lunch at Roots Café, where you can enjoy tasty and healthy lunch menus. If you prefer to meet up with friends for dinner, enjoy fresh pasta at Porto di Mare, in Cascais, or embark on a journey of Japanese flavours at Yakuza by Olivier, at Sheraton Cascais Resort. Would you rather eat out, but without leaving the comfort of your home? Just install the UberEats app and take advantage of the huge catalogue of restaurants with home-delivery.

Buy local and seasonal products

It's a pleasure to walk around a market. These spaces are full of colors, smells and producers that you can always talk to. In Cascais we have several options: the Market of Carcavelos, the Municipal Market of São Pedro do Estoril or the Mercado da Vila. They have everything you need in terms of fresh food that is not only nutritionally rich, but also respectful of nature's cycles. Yes, here you can buy fresh, local, and seasonal products. The result? Food that actually tastes like the plants that have been grown with little human interference.

Get Around by Bicycle

Cascais has this advantage: everything is close by. So, in addition of being a great area for anyone who likes to get around by foot, it is perfect for cycling. With several bicycle paths and a shared bike network, it is undoubtedly a bike friendly destination. From Carcavelos to Guincho, you'll get everywhere in no time. The best part? You'll never be alone: the stunning landscapes will accompany you on every trip.

Enjoy water sports

There is no excuse for not being in shape in Cascais. In addition to running, walking and cycling, this region is also a sort of paradise for water sports: from bodyboarding, to stand up paddle, not to mention surfing, it is said that sports that take place in the sea are allies of mindfulness, the great ally of creativity.

Relate to the local community

What's the point of living in a place and not knowing anyone? In Cascais it won't take long before every face becomes familiar to you. Here it is easy to build relationships with the local community: from your neighbours, to the shopkeepers, owners of cafes and restaurants you frequent the most, not forgetting those you bump into every day on the promenade, while going for your morning jog or walk. In Cascais, even if you are alone, there is no place for loneliness.

Find the perfect place to stay

Whether looking for a sea view, the colourful and bustling streets of the town centre, or the tranquillity of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, there is no shortage of options in terms of hotels, hostels, local accommodation, or long-term rentals, for all tastes and budgets. Digital nomads will have no trouble finding the perfect lodging. In Cascais, we make our guests feel right at home
