The well-known resort of Estoril is a truly cosmopolitan city with a fantastic nightlife and all the amenities needed for a summer destination, including beaches, top-notch hotels, golf courses, a casino, and even a race track.
Early in the 20th century, this region underwent a planned makeover as a result of its closeness to the sea, which was beginning to draw attention, as well as the presence of thermal springs, which were quite popular at the time (they are currently closed).
The Park and the Casino, which are emblematic of Estoril, were located in the center of this brand-new luxury resort, which also housed top-notch hotels and other structures.
When Lisbon was a possibility, Estoril was recognized for its numerous forts along the shore that secured its defense.
