Which area has good living conditions

Hello Everybody,

I would like to ask for help and advice.  I live in Figueira da Foz and love it there. However I am living alone and in the off-season (+/- 9 month) Figueira becomes very quiet. I was looking to move closer to Lisbon for access to culture, art, shopping and site seeing. Which area would you recommend to look for an apartment ? I looked at Setubal, but didn't really think it is a fit. Thank you for your advice.

What about Cascais or Sintra?
