• Estoril - Historical villas, Tamariz Beach, and the Casino Gardens are notable sights.
• Forte de Santo Antonio da Barra - This fort also served as the holiday residence of António Oliveira Salazar, the dictator who governed the country from 1933 until the 1974 revolution, and where he had an accident that led to his death.
• Praia de Carcavelos - The largest beach on the Cascais coast facing south. Located just 15km from Lisbon, it is well-known among the surfing community, especially in winter.
• Fortaleza de Sao Juliao Da Barra - Built in a strategic location overlooking the entrance to Barra, the Fortress of São Julião da Barra is one of the country’s most significant military constructions. Although the exact start date of its construction is debated, with opinions ranging between 1553 and 1556, the design is attributed to Miguel de Arruda, a renowned architect of the time. Starting from a small nucleus, this fortification was modified, expanded, and adapted to meet new requirements over the years. Like other fortifications, it also served as a military and political prison. The case of General Gomes Freire de Andrade, who was imprisoned in São Julião da Barra and executed in the grounds next to the fortification, is well-known. On 22 August 1951, it lost its military function to take on new state functions and host political events.
• Farol do Bugio - The tour circumnavigates the Bugio Lighthouse, also known as the São Lourenço Fort, one of the most iconic landmarks on the Cascais coast. Located at the entrance to the Tagus estuary, this lighthouse was built in the 17th century to protect Lisbon from enemy attacks. Constructed on a small sandy island, it posed a significant technical challenge at the time. Thousands of wooden stakes were driven into the sandy bottom to create a solid base, allowing for the construction of a robust fort that has withstood the weather and tides for centuries. Besides its historical and military significance, it is a crucial navigation reference point, guiding ships safely into Lisbon harbor. It stands as a true jewel of maritime heritage and a testament to the ingenuity of our ancestors.

Also noteworthy along the route is the Santo António Fort in São João do Estoril, the holiday home of António Oliveira Salazar, the dictator who ruled the country from 1933 until the 1974 revolution and where he had an accident that precipitated his death.

The tour ends with a circumnavigation of the Bugio lighthouse fortification, with a view of the famous red bridge over the Tagus river, with clear similarities to the Alcatraz complex and the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco as they coincide in time.
