Sightseeing
The charming village of Cascais was once a retreat for exiled european royal families.
Along the beautiful 30-min train ride from Cais do Sodré station you'll see several beaches, try Estoril or Cascais, both next to the namesake train stations. These two beaches are connected by a pedestrian walk along the sea.

From there, walk back down to the village along the seaside road.
As these are very popular spots, if possible try to go there on weekdays.

Terreiro do Paço sits right at the place where, hundred of years ago, merchants from all over the world disembarked their goods to be traded throughout Europe. Its unique setting, with one full side opening to the sea, still reminds of its time as the "Old World"'s entrance hall.
Now it is a light-filled pedestrian square, hosting all kinds of amusements (even a disco club). From there you can walk on a sideway along the river stretching to Cais do Sodré.
