Lisbon to Cascais | Discovering Lisbon's sunshine coast | Ride out - walk back 

What a great way to spend a sunny morning.

Absolutely beautiful. That blue sky looks fabulous.

Always nice of a video from a part of Europe that you do not visit so often

That was great - lovely sunny seaside walk and some Art Deco. Very enjoyable viewing, thanks :)

Loved the trip and the narration. Thank you for taking us along, Johnny!

Thank you for a lovely video showing the train trip from Lisbon to Cascais!

Another lovely video - great seaside views. Thank you.

Good to see you taking your classic ride out/walk back format to the Continent! Cheers.

You keep confirming that Lisbon has to go up my “must visit” list!

I travelled this route a few times for the Expo in 1992. Back then it was usual for the doors to be open, a natural form of aircon! Great little service!

The nerd that I am especially likes the way different services are organised. Basically, if the line is A-1-2-3-B-4-5-6-C-7-8-9-D, trains going from A to B stop on all the intermediate stations, trains going to C would skip most stops between A and B, but would serve all stations between B and C, and trains to D would skip most station between A, B and C, serving all stations on the part between C and D. Trains ending in B and C would stop on a middle track with platforms on either side for easy changes onto trains going further, and in reverse, people from further down the line who needed an intermediate station. Very clever system!

Glad you got your steps in for the day, some good views.

This looks like a fantastic trip to take! Portugal is on my list to visit and I'll be flying to Lisbon next month - I'm really excited to do this little train trip. Thanks for the insight and the helpful tips. Great vlog.

Great minds think alike! I did that a couple of years ago, but I think I got back on the train one station earlier. It's always nice to get out of the city and the well-trodden tourist spots. Those wide-gauge trains feel huge inside and I didn't realise they were over 60 years old!

Great video Beautiful scenery

Really enjoyed this, we go to Lisbon a lot and getting the train along to Cascais is always a highlight. If you’re ever there again I can recommend Santini ice creams, my husband was brought up in Lisbon and has been going to the same ice cream parlour in Cascais since he was a small child!

Enjoyed it. Very nice.

Hi. I am from Sintra which is not far from where you were. I wish you would make a video there as it's so beautiful and picturesque. Along that journey, you passed Belém, which is where the famous and delicious "pastel de nata" was born! The pastry shop is over 150 years old and you can sit at a table and have them as they come out of the oven! Still, maybe next time. 😊

Its great that u made an odd bonus this Monday

The ride was good but the walk was better, some really stunning views and did love that castle as well, great video

Another great Lisbon video, more facts of what you see but you failed to mention the Belem Tower that we get a decent flash of just after the 25 April bridge. This is a great fortification built to protect the Tagus access, and the fun part is to find the rhinoceros.........

Hi Johnny. On first finding your video I thought that I had visited to Cascais before, but at 70 years old the memory is beginning to fail at times. However, when viewing the wavy pattern on the pedestrian street, I was convinced that I had visited before. A quick search of my online photos came up with 16 June 2015 and a little square called Praça 5 de Outubro in Cascais. The whole surface of the square was that wavy pattern. It tended to induce a feeling similar to seasickness after a while. I spent a short while on the nearby Praia da Ribeira where I ventured for a wee paddle. On the square itself was a statue in front of the town hall but like you, however, my time in Cascais had been limited. That looked like a lovely wee walk back along the coast towards Estoril before you caught the train back to Lisbon. A pity your time was limited as you passed some interesting spots on the train journey itself.

The entire route is also available on Google Street View. They placed a camera on a flat railway car. Fun fact: the Street View train also uses the streetrunning bit near Alcantara-Mar.

Enjoying this walk ,lovely beach, what about places to eat, 😊

Spot on JH

I was so surprised to hear my name mentioned, My wife didn't believe me when I told her. It was a lovely walk along the beach to the station, as you said the views are lovely, I also like the lovely cobbled streets. We have looked at getting the train to Paris then the sleeper down to Lisbon through Spain then to Cacais, as we stayed for a few days many years ago, certainly loved Lisbon and the tram ride was unreal, shame you didn't go on it. But like you say it is another excuse to visit Lisbon. Look forward to your next one & many thanks.

There are two reasons why Cais do Sodré station looks a bit "off" behind the entry hall. One is the rebuild (1960) and then collapse of the platform roofs in 1963 (killing 50 people); that prompted an improvised hall that was only replaced in the early 2000s, also to serve as an extension to the ferry terminal nearby and to facilitate the subway station below. As another bit of pedantry, the Ponte 25 de Abril was renamed after the revolution of 1974 because it was originally called the Ponte Salazar, after the long-time (but already deceased) dictator of the now upended régime.

That was a trip down memory lane. I had a childhood holiday in Cascais in 1995 and remember using that line to get trains into Lisbon and back several times. The trains look very familar. It's also good to see the locals have given up train surfing as it was rife back then. I guess the Health and Safety police have clamped down there too!

Because I work on the railway in the UK I get free train travel in Portugal (as well as in many other European countries) for which you receive a paper coupon and also had problems with the ticket gates in Lisbon and Sintra. In theory you should use the disabled access gates, press the assistance button and you'll be let through. In practice you have to find someone who's able to let you through. Easier said than done! As for beaches the only one I nearly went on was in Lisbon but seeing 2 rodents scampering on the beach put me off 😢

Did that one 2 years ago and stayed in Cascais a couple of days. Lovely little train ride but it was very crowded when we where on it.

Lovely trip, Helen and I did it last November and it was lovely weather then too. Did you walk under the Ponte de 25 Abril? It seems like the deck is entirely made of metal mesh so it makes an incredible racket with all the traffic running over it.

Lisbon is a lovely place, and there were some fine views this video. you couldn't have chosen a better day!

2:54 How do you map out/animate your routes on OSM like here? So far I've managed to find the filter you use.

Great video. I’ve had the privilege of visiting several times. Regarding fares, if you’re over retirement age it’s half price throughout CP network. No railcard involved, just show passport for proof of age.

I love watching ur videos but can U plz make a lot more BC I watched most of them already

Why is it from January and not March?

What a lovely part of the world, albeit somewhat tarnished by awful graffiti as usual. I wish I could ignore it.
