Article History

Estoril, fashionable resort, western Portugal. It is located on Cascais Bay (the Portuguese Riviera) of the Atlantic Ocean, 15.5 miles (25 km) west of Lisbon and constitutes a parish of the city.

Tourism is the economic mainstay of the town, which is both a summer and a winter resort. Its chief feature is the magnificent avenue of palm trees leading from the seafront to the Casino Internacional. The nearby Estoril Hill (358 feet [109 metres]) is noted for its trees, especially pines, eucalyptus, and palms. Pop. (2001) 23,769; (2011) 26,399.
