Read about the new Paula Rego exhibitions at Casa das Histórias and felt like finally stepping inside the iconic building designed by architect Eduardo Souto de Moura? Fancy exploring the different venues that make up Cascais’ Museum Quarter? We’ve got good news. Until 8 January, every museum in the municipality is free to visit.

This initiative invites visitors of all ages to discover the best Cascais’ cultural spaces have to offer – from the Centro Cultural de Cascais (where you can see A Deslocação do Olhar until 18 January) to the Museu do Mar – making it a great excuse to enjoy the Christmas break as a family without stretching the budget.

Just bear in mind that museums will be closed on 24, 25 and 31 December, as well as on 1 January, so it’s worth planning your visit in advance.

There’s more happening around Cascais.

Music fans should keep an eye on Coala Festival Portugal, which has just announced its first confirmed names – Slow J, Bonga and Lulu Santos – for its next edition. And if culture is more your thing, mark 2026 on the calendar: the State Contemporary Art Collection is set to move to Cascais, with the new CACE Centre in Alcabideche bringing together a major national collection under one roof.
