Europe's most Western point, Cabo da Roca offers beautiful views of the rugged coast. Walk or bike to the Cabo da Roca lighthouse, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy time outside while exploring this spot, known as the Rock of Lisbon in the Age of Sail--a windy cape of granite boulders and rocky sea cliffs. Try to spot the low-lying vegetation and marine birds roosting temporarily along the coast and in nearby coves. At the site's monument, you can grab a bite to eat or explore nearby shops.

  • Cabo da Roca ... the most western point of mainland Europe with an impressive 140 m high cliff whose landmark is the red and white lighthouse. It is one of the sights on the way to Sintra, 18 km...

  • Really beautiful area at the western most edge of Europe. There's a small monument along with a couple buildings and shops near by. The trails near by are short but the views are beautiful. Taking in the view is peaceful because it makes you feel so small compared to the earth as a whole. It was peaceful. I recommend making the trip - it's not too far out of the way
  • Tap tap 👍 Most iconic place in the world. And now I understand why. It’s really made you speechless when you see this powerfully ocean waves and monumental rocks! Maybe one of the best place to meditate or just thinking about matter of life. Better to come early in the morning when less tourists. Or go to hills to better view. It’s only takes you 15-20 minutes of walk to unite with nature with amazing view
