County Heritage Routes | Estoril and World War II
The purpose of our tour is to remember one of the most vibrant periods in Estoril's history. During World War II, Portugal served as a haven for thousands of people fleeing the war raging in Europe. Due to its cosmopolitanism and proximity to Lisbon, Estoril became a favorite destination for writers, film artists, members of European royal houses, bankers and ordinary people who crossed paths in the park's boulevards, on Casino nights or on the sands of Tamariz.
Estoril was also a privileged location for mutual surveillance, intelligence gathering, espionage and counter-espionage activities before, during and after World War II.
There are many fascinating stories that we will share by revisiting some of Estoril's most emblematic places!
