Estoril holidays don't have direct flights, but the Portuguese capital Lisbon is only 25km from Estoril and flights are available from a number of regional airports including Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool, along with London Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton. Coach transfers are available from the airport, but taxis are easy to come by and quite reasonably priced. Most taxis are on the meter.
Estoril holidays offer two of the key ingredients to a great holiday - rest and relaxation. Holidays should leave you feeling rested and rejuvenated, and with the excellent beaches, leisurely pace and refined cosmopolitan atmosphere of Estoril, holidays in this superb Lisbon coast resort are sure to fulfil that obligation. If sunbathing is not your thing, then try some of the water sports on offer, such as water-skiing and wind surfing. Carcavelos Beach is the most popular among the surfing fraternity. Other popular activities available include tennis, horse-riding, and like many Portuguese holiday destinations, golf is enjoyed by many visitors. The hill town of Monte Estoril, situated between Estoril and Cascais, is a beautiful little architectural gem that features the Verdades-Faria Museum, which now houses the Regional Portuguese Music Museum, exhibiting an important collection of musical instruments from popular music. To really let yourself go, splash some cash in the Casino Estoril, the popular haunt of the rich and regal.
Estoril holidays offer the opportunity to frequent some superb upmarket eating establishments, offering traditional Portuguese fare, alongside other excellent International restaurants and cafes. Stemming from its origins as a fishing port, seafood features high on the menus of many of the top restaurants in Estoril, and the quality in many of the pricier establishments is second to none.
