Visits to the Cascais Tide Gauge
On Saturday, April 18th, visit the Cascais Tide Gauge, which will be open to the public as part of the International Day for Monuments and Sites celebrations.
Come and learn about the history of one of the first European observatories dedicated to the study of tides, and which remains the only one in the world that functions perfectly, with continuous records since 1882.
In addition to this function, the Cascais Tide Gauge also marks the altimetric zero of mainland Portugal, the point from which the altitudes of our territory are measured.
Guided tours last approximately 45 minutes.
