I live in Cascais, I think you will love it here. There is a lot of construction going on, the main supermarket is expanding with a big apartment complex. Most people here live in apartments. If you intend on getting your Residents Permit, my advice would be to hire a immigration attorney. It makes it sooo much easier. Good luck from Portugal
Nick I'm sitting here in Cape Town, planning my move to Portugal and watching your videos. They are absolutely fantastic! Thanks for all your research and great presentation.
Thank you Nick. My wife and I are thinking about moving to Portugal from France next year and your videos are absolutely fantastic and exactly the type of information we are looking for. Great job!
I'm not sure if you're asking Bryan or me, but I haven't moved to Cascais (it's too busy and expensive for me), but I do enjoy the business vibe up there. Things get done!
Love your video! I've been researching Portugal for years and have bored my family with all my talk of wanting to live there. I will be retiring early next year, after putting it off due to the pandemic, and am finally ready to spend some quality time exploring Portugal. With the political unrest and gun violence in the US, my desire has only increased. My focus has been closer to Porto or Coimbra, but Cascais is an interesting option. Being from Chicago and a "city girl" I appreciate being able to walk everywhere and being close to the necessities of life but I'm not a beach person per se. My final decision will be based on many factors, including cost. However, compared to the US, it does appear that my finances will stretch further in Portugal. Living in the US has become exceedingly expensive and living in CA I see it first hand. I have so much to learn but will keep tuning into your videos 🙋♀Obrigada!
Your daughter is adorable and the two of you has such a relaxed, warm connection and interaction. It’s really lovely to see between a father and daughter. I’m sure she has grown into a very beautiful woman so congratulations to you and your wife. She seems like a smart one too.😊
Your videos are truly the Gold Standard. I absolutely relish them. The format, the "birds eye" views, the artistry and the down home friendly demeanor projected. Stunningly great work! Thanks from southern California.
I'm trying to recall. When I was in the US Navy our carrier stopped in Portugal. Cascais I think... I just remember getting off the ship, boarding the train, riding to the end of the line west, then walking west seeing the beach, eating on the corner overlooking the beach, while some kids brought a bull down to the beach to play with! Wild...
Not sure. Hoping my description might sound recognizable to you. I don't think the beach was in sight from the train. We only saw it after we hit the end of the line then walked a while. Certainly was an interesting experience!
Lovely video. I visited Lisbon, Sesmbra and Cascais in 2018. Cascais is truly a beautiful city. Looking forward to exploring northern Portugal on my next trip.
Really enjoy your videos, they're so informative and inspiring. When we move down from Stockholm in August, we will have great use of them and your website. Please keep the great work your doing up!
Thank you for a wonderfully informative and clear video about Cascais! I like your dip into the history. I haven't seen a Cascais video that even mentions history.
Hi I live in your area in the Algarve, but have always loved visiting Cascais and Estoril. It does have a long history of welcoming wealthy and often Royal visitors. We stayed at the Estoril Palace hotel, and saw many photo's of British royalty lining the walls.. It also had a large Dutch presence when the Philips company had a factory there.A very International place. It is also home to the Women's International club. for ex-pats ,. and a wonderful modern museum dedicated to the important, now world renowned artist Paula Rega..Thanks for another great video..
I stumbled upon Bar de Guincho during a trip in 2015. Wow, what a fun, laid back place with amazing grilled octopus. One of a multitude of amazing finds for myself in Portugal. I love your adopted country and continue to dream of locating myself there in the future. Thanks
Couldn't contain my emotions after figuring out Nick's (ZA) accent!! Great guide, funny I was just at the paradao on the Marinha de Cascais 4 days before this video was uploaded. Maybe we even rubbed shoulders, who knows!! Keep up the good work Nick.
Surely it depends on how fast you drive. I went to Cascais for the first time in 2020 and I quite enjoyed it. We also went to praya do Guincho. Thanks for the history. You have a great accent when speaking Portuguese.
Great video Nick. I was so close and didn't realize what a beautiful place I missed. Will check it out on the next trip. Love that it's so close to the city but it's own beautiful little world.
My favorite part of the Cascais e Estoril conselho is Carcavelas Beach. It's large enough to find your own spot of sand to place your towel, even on busy Summer days
@@AlgarveAddicts No, I live in Canada. My family has an apartment in Linda-a-Velha (Alges) I visit Portugal every year or two to see relatives. Carcavelas beach and Torre Beach are our go to beaches. I'm planning to visit different parts of Portugal to see which spot would be best for my retirement. Vila Real de Santo Antonio is my next place to visit.
Nick, Great video, we learned how to say to Cascais the same way (Cash Guys), ha ha. Its a great town my wife loved it. Cool to see the trails, I also think there are some Mtn bike trails around Sintra.
@@AlgarveAddicts even being Portuguese, it isn't easy understanding locals depending on where I go. Thus I can only imagine it requires proper effort to a non-latin language native to learn it. Muito bom trabalho!
Welcome back, Nick!!! Long time no see. Saw Cascais and interrupted watching a Toto concert on telly. Cascais was my old stomping ground as I lived a few minutes away in Parede. Now I feel really 'homesick'. (By the way, Daniel Craig, 007, was born in my home town of Chester, UK) Also, if you fancy treating your wife to a romantic weekend, my friend owns the Hotel Miragem Cascais. Highly recommended. Nice vid, as usual.
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!
In Cascais there is a Palace, the Cidadela Palace. It was a summer palace for the last kings and queens of Portugal and after the arrival of the Republic it became the place where portuguese presidents received foreign heads of state visiting Portugal. The Palace has an art déco glass balcony overlooking the beach which is stunning!
Great video, thanks very much! One thing to ask / mention: race cars and performance driving are my hobby, and it seems the Estoril circuit is so close!!! If so, wow. That’s a huge selling point for me.
Love your videos and Google images. It gives a great perspective of the area as a whole. I am from Sintra which is just 15 minutes north. I hope you can pop there as it's extremely pretty and scenic. Thank you!
I was initially considering Lisbon, but thanks to your video we must now give Cascais more of a look…we are from the San Francisco Bay Area and would like a somewhat similar experience for our retirement
Yes, the coastline stretching west and then north bound from Cascais Town looks a lot like the Californian coastline.. It's beautiful. Take your time to find the right spot.
Interesting music behind your surfing segments. Ever hear of Dick Dale? Here in the states he was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar" back in the 60s.
1.47 Cascais does not experience the full front of the west coast weather. It is in fact completely protected&sheltered, faces south and is rarely stormy or windy. Further along the coast, well away from Cascais town, you do of course experience the wild west coast weather.
Edit: the hospital at 15:50 is actually a government hospital (not a private one). Some additional info about International Schools: - International School Database www.international-schools-database.com/in/lisbon - St Julian's school is well recommended (which I missed out) www.stjulians.com/ - Also have a look at bravegenerationacademy.com BGA gives your kids the flexibility to truly enjoy everything Cascais offers.
Well done... a super overview! many of my colleagues live there and utterly love it. Arguably, its a better property bet than the Algarve, with very fertile opportunities in the. €1-3 M market. (PS You deserve 90K subscribers, not just 9K ....)
Hi mate! After living in London for 20 years and travelling the world the time has come to go back @ the end of the month to my Hometown of Cascais more precisely in Sao Joao do Estoril. Pick up the old routine of surfing on a daily basis and walking the dog in the paredao. Little tip for you...from Monte Estoril going East you can get at some really cool surf spots Poca,Azaruja,S Pedro(2 peaks called Bafureira e Ponta) but the best and more consistent is in Carcavelos and the beach is as big as Guincho with less wind. The further you move from Cascais the better the surf spots are because of the Marina that was built maybe 15 years ago. By the way your 'pork & cheese' is on point lol All the best to ya
Fantastic, thanks for the tips, although when I drove past Carcavelos the last time I could see the waves for surfers. It was super busy! Enjoy your return to the good life 👍🏼
Hi Nick, thank you for the video. I lived in Portugal in 2017/2018 in Praia de Santa Cruz, Silveira with my son. Totally contemplating moving back. Be it that my son is in his late teens now, I think Cascais would be more exciting for him. I wonder how is Cascais after high season as Santa Cruz was really becoming a ghost town. Thank you for your reply!
so, according you say, Is Cascais expensiver than Portimão?. I enjoy watching you videos, they are very interesting to me because you talk about everything about the place. Thank you
Another great video. Love the use of Google Street View. We took the train from Lisbon and spent a lovely afternoon their last January. Any plans to do a show in Madeira?
Great Video to watch Cascais. I been living here from last 4 years, great place to live in .If you want to help like us who have education and experience in English please do a documentary about Cascais Job sectors.
Every video you do is very "simple" yet very detailed with context and informative. You truly adapted in portuguese society, which isnt easy for a "estrangeiro" to do, specially not coming from the Lusophone world. I love your enthusiasm, you know more of the history of places from Portugal then alot of portuguese themselfs, telling and knowing the history of the places and country and understanding the culture. The King Peter the cruel, i think the part of "Just" is because he tried to bring "Justice" he went like a "Justiceiro" figure, for avenging his lover, Inês de Castro (which is the portuguese real story of Romeu and Juliet), cruel... Well a reading of the guy may tell you why, but alot of the nickname may come from the treatement of the people who killed his lover and maybe Civil war propaganda.
Thank you Nick! I love your videos they are so informative. Question: we are looking to relocate to Portugal in early 2023 so we will not be able to make the golden visa deadline that I keep hearing is about to pass. Will there still be a program for us to buy property & reside in Portugal? Can you do a video on the changes that will be taking place in that program? Thanks!
I love your videos, so informative! I miss Portugal so much. Hopefully I will be able to travel this year. Do you know if they plan to let Canadians come?
I wish to explore the Comporta area. Have you been there or would you have interest in making a Vlog about it ? I heard that it has a lot to offer for expats.
Hi Olli, to be honest I haven't really visited Comporta (it seems like a lot of hype to me, but that's very unfair for me to say without having visited). I spent a wonderful weekend in Troia though.
@@AlgarveAddicts going to Algarve in April, staying in Portimao,watching your videos now for some ideas. Feliz Natal e tudo de bom para o Ano Novo para si e sua família.
Hey Charles, surfing is a pastime for me and if I could, I'd spend every day surfing, but there are other more important things in my life like family and work. Ericeira is amazing for surfing, but also a lot of localism.
@@AlgarveAddicts Nick, what do you mean by "localism". I am looking for a place to retire or at least spend 6 months a year in a quiet sea town, not rowdy like your description of Albufeira.
@@AlgarveAddicts Too many hardcore surfers instead of laid back ones like you and me. got it. Thanks should I be looking at Praia da Luz and Lagos area for expats and laid back atmosphere?
I enjoyed your video, its beautiful, and meanwhile, o can practice my listening in English ... thank you and have a good one!!! I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil ... byeeee...
What are some nice places outside of Cascais but still close enough to enjoy the Cascais area that have more affordable housing (say 300K USD or less) and nice lifestyle for Canadians? What are your other favorite areas in portugal to live? I grew up in Brazil and Portugal seems like a dreamy place. Brazil is extremely sketchy and dangerous though, what is the safety situation like in Portugal?
Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world. To be honest I am not that we'll aquatinted with places outside Cascais but look a little further inland towards Alcabideche and you may find something a little cheaper.
Just a year is tricky. You'll get a three month visa waiver, but any longer and you'll have to apply for a D7 Visa, or maybe you can try for a study visa...
Nick, really been enjoying your videos. We are moving to Cascais from Canada for a year - is there an estate agent you recommend to help us find a home in Cascais to rent for a year? Much appreciated, Mark
One of the weird things about Portugal that has always amazed me is the absence of safety fences. In one shot around 6:16 there are two vehicles pulled up to the edge of the ocean and they are amazingly close to the water. If the driver wasn't paying attention or if he miscalculated by a foot or two, the result would be tragic. I cannot understand why anyone would park a vehicle so class to calamity and I cannot believe that a safety fence does not exist in that spot.
@@ogator8642 lol thankyou for your reply, is exactly what portuguese love they're culture, love eating good food meeting family often nothing worong with that. About your comment wich l respect but is a bit irrelevant, because people parked there for many decades sea level no cliff. Portugal got around 1000 km sea border which is hard built fences and barriers all coast unless we called an expert Donald Trump ! I think you should focus in what portugal is great ! Nature, arquitecture, wines, cheese , pastries , food , Friendship and SAFETY ,what many countries don,t, have ! Enjoy !

Did You already move to Cascais?

The King Peter the cruel, i think the part of "Just" is because he tried to bring "Justice" he went like a "Justiceiro" figure, for avenging his lover, Inês de Castro (which is the portuguese real story of Romeu and Juliet), cruel... Well a reading of the guy may tell you why, but alot of the nickname may come from the treatement of the people who killed his lover and maybe Civil war propaganda.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing 👍🏼 and thanks for your kind words. Portugal has been good to me, it can be a lovely simple life here.
Great vid Nick.
Thanks JH!
A minha terra 😍Cascais❤️😘
Very informative and nicely done video.
Thank you Nick! I love your videos they are so informative. Question: we are looking to relocate to Portugal in early 2023 so we will not be able to make the golden visa deadline that I keep hearing is about to pass. Will there still be a program for us to buy property & reside in Portugal? Can you do a video on the changes that will be taking place in that program? Thanks!
Hi and thank you. Yes you can still buy Golden Visa properties, just not on the coast or in Lisbon and Porto.
I love your videos, so informative! I miss Portugal so much. Hopefully I will be able to travel this year. Do you know if they plan to let Canadians come?
Thanks Camelia, it's so good to hear you enjoy them. Yes, I'm sure Canadians will be allowed in soon.
@@AlgarveAddicts Thank you Nick! I really hope so. Can't wait to move to Portugal (still a few more years).
Great video.. thank you for sharing
I wish to explore the Comporta area. Have you been there or would you have interest in making a Vlog about it ? I heard that it has a lot to offer for expats.
Hi Olli, to be honest I haven't really visited Comporta (it seems like a lot of hype to me, but that's very unfair for me to say without having visited). I spent a wonderful weekend in Troia though.
Love you videos, bom trabalho!
Obrigado Maria! 👍🏼
@@AlgarveAddicts going to Algarve in April, staying in Portimao,watching your videos now for some ideas.
Feliz Natal e tudo de bom para o Ano Novo para si e sua família.
Nick, Love the videos, but if you love surfing so much, why did you choose the Algarve instead of Ericeira? What are the pros and cons?
Hey Charles, surfing is a pastime for me and if I could, I'd spend every day surfing, but there are other more important things in my life like family and work. Ericeira is amazing for surfing, but also a lot of localism.
@@AlgarveAddicts Nick, what do you mean by "localism". I am looking for a place to retire or at least spend 6 months a year in a quiet sea town, not rowdy like your description of Albufeira.
Localism is just a surfing term for being a little... "over protective" of your home break out in the water.
@@AlgarveAddicts Too many hardcore surfers instead of laid back ones like you and me. got it. Thanks should I be looking at Praia da Luz and Lagos area for expats and laid back atmosphere?
Sure, Luz and Lagos are great, but Ericeira is also a wonderful little town.
Cascais is wonderfull I use to live there when I was young
Wonderful!
I enjoyed your video, its beautiful, and meanwhile, o can practice my listening in English ... thank you and have a good one!!! I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil ... byeeee...
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Also Italian last king "Umberto secondo" spent there his life in exile after June 1946
Good to know, thanks for sharing Michele 👍🏼
Brian adams grow up there too
Brian Adams grew up in Cascais?
Yes..
He understands and speaks portuguese
Any recommendations for where to stay for around 5 nights?
We might be interested in moving to Cascais and are coming to check it out.
Stay at any of the hotels around the Marina to suit your budget.
Aw, lovely. I have friends who live in Cascais.
Fantastic, do you get up to visit them much?
I really love Cascais.....great video
Thanks for watching Marck! 👍🏼
What are some nice places outside of Cascais but still close enough to enjoy the Cascais area that have more affordable housing (say 300K USD or less) and nice lifestyle for Canadians? What are your other favorite areas in portugal to live? I grew up in Brazil and Portugal seems like a dreamy place. Brazil is extremely sketchy and dangerous though, what is the safety situation like in Portugal?
Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world. To be honest I am not that we'll aquatinted with places outside Cascais but look a little further inland towards Alcabideche and you may find something a little cheaper.
Please do a video on Lisbon for a fellow young twenty something south african looking to immigrate soon ☺🇿🇦🇵🇹
Hey Savannah, there's so much to do down here and Lisbon is a big place. I'll put it on the list though.
Sure, Cascais is pretty - if you can afford it...
All the best from Sintra (20 km from Cascais)
True, every second car appears to be a Porsche...
Great info! Canadian and would like to spend a year . Do you happen to know how if and how I could with visas?
Just a year is tricky. You'll get a three month visa waiver, but any longer and you'll have to apply for a D7 Visa, or maybe you can try for a study visa...
Nick, really been enjoying your videos. We are moving to Cascais from Canada for a year - is there an estate agent you recommend to help us find a home in Cascais to rent for a year? Much appreciated, Mark
Hi Mark, sorry I don't know that many people up there, for rentals.
Well done as usual
Thank you Robert, without you watching all my work would be useless 👍🏼
My father was born in Cascais!
Fantastic Mario👌🏼
One of the weird things about Portugal that has always amazed me is the absence of safety fences. In one shot around 6:16 there are two vehicles pulled up to the edge of the ocean and they are amazingly close to the water. If the driver wasn't paying attention or if he miscalculated by a foot or two, the result would be tragic. I cannot understand why anyone would park a vehicle so class to calamity and I cannot believe that a safety fence does not exist in that spot.
They're seasoned fisherman, but I guess you have a point.
One of the weird things about portugal is the absence of safety fences.
What about the others ?

@@ogator8642 lol thankyou for your reply, is exactly what portuguese love they're culture, love eating good food meeting family often nothing worong with that.
About your comment wich l respect but is a bit irrelevant, because people parked there for many decades sea level no cliff.
Portugal got around 1000 km sea border which is hard built fences and barriers all coast unless we called an expert Donald Trump !
I think you should focus in what portugal is great !
Nature, arquitecture, wines, cheese , pastries , food ,
Friendship and SAFETY ,what many countries don,t, have !
Enjoy !
Portugal meu amor...
I’m interested in exercising the golden visa and making a purchase. Would love to talk.
How difficult would it be to navigate around Cascais if you don't know the language?
Pretty easy, most people speak English up there.
Great vídeo! I love it! 😘💋
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hospital Lusíadas is actually a public hospital payed from public taxes.
Awesome, thanks for sharing Ricardo. I'll make a note. It really feels like a private hospital.
My wife said it's pronounced "cas-skies". Thanks for the video, good stuff
It's looks so similar to Lagos doesn't it?!?
You're welcome Gary, and she'd be right👍🏼
It does a little... 😎👍🏼
