3 Best Shopping in Cascais and Boca do Inferno, Sintra, the Estoril Coast, and the Setúbal Peninsula

Housed in a beautiful 19th-century palace, Casa da Guia combines shopping, art, and gastronomy in grand style. It's poised on a cliff edge west of Cascais, beyond Boca do Inferno, and worth the trip out of town for the contemporary art gallery, high-end boutiques, interesting restaurants, and bars with outdoor terraces.

Luís Soares presents his own carefully executed, modern ceramic designs alongside more traditional jugs and plates at Ceramicarte. There's also a small selection of tapestries and an art gallery.

For typical Portuguese handmade jewelry such as delicate filigree, go to Torres, which has its own designers and trademark brand.
