Circuito do Estoril
The former F1 track with the perfect environment
Rarely driven, the former Formula 1 circuit offers everything a racing driver’s heart desires: fast, flowing passages, technical sections and blind bends. At the same time, very good safety zones and, above all, lots of fun.
Due to the mild climate, the Circuito do Estoril is an excellent test track and trackday location in winter. Estoril itself is a stylish and sophisticated resort town, located about 5 km south of the Circuito do Estoril and 25 km west of Lisbon on the beautiful coastline of the Costa do Estoril. The town offers a perfect balance between Portuguese charm and excellent tourist facilities, making it the ideal destination if you want to spend more than just two great days at the circuit.
With a selection of great restaurants, hotels and leisure options in Estoril and Cascais, our Endless Summer Estoril offers the perfect place to hibernate. Join us in December or January and enjoy your sunny winter season in Portugal!

Our hotel recommendation
Intercontinental
As their name suggests, Intercontinental Hotels are known for their international service and particularly high standards. This is particularly true of the Intercontinental in Estoril, which only opened in 2015. The ultra-modern building houses only 59 Intercontinental rooms and suites in addition to luxury apartments. This makes the hotel prestigious and sophisticated, but at the same time cozy and individual.
The “Atlantico” restaurant, which, like the hotel, is located on the seafront, offers casual cuisine in a wonderfully Mediterranean ambience with discreet but always present service.
