- Rossifumi79Milan, Italy603 contributionsI highly recommend going there in the early hours of the morning (9.30 at the latest) to be able to enjoy the spectacle that nature offers in this place. There are several car parks so there is always room. The spectacular view repays every kilometer traveled to get there. Absolutely recommendedVisited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 3, 2024
- Cosmina Lavinia111 contributionsVisiting Cabo da Roca felt like being at the end of the world—the dramatic cliffs and sweeping ocean views are truly captivating. I highly recommend going during sunset; the vibrant colors paint the sky and enhance the beauty of this remarkable location. Be prepared, though—it’s very windy and cold, so bringing an extra jacket is a must. This spot is lovely for taking pictures, as you can really see and feel the power of the ocean. If you're in Portugal, don’t miss this stunning viewpoint!Visited August 2024Traveled with friendsWritten October 30, 2024
- The_Concierge_8Trinidad and Tobago3,831 contributionsIt truly is a sight to behold the further point of continental Europe where the sloping land and its gorgeous lighthouse meets the sea. The blue blue sea was beautiful. On a clear sunny day the drive to this point is winding and scenic. There are public restrooms for the usual € 0.50 cents, visitor center, a souvenir shop and restaurant / bar. A good place to plan a little break for lunch for an hour and to stretch your legs before continuing on.Visited May 2024Traveled soloWritten May 9, 2024
- Arthur MHamilton, Canada1,808 contributionsIt was exciting to see continental Europe's westernmost point. Any point in Europe further west are islands, so that's actually pretty interesting piece of land to step on! It was totally windy and the waves were crashing against the cliffs and it was such a sight to see!Visited December 2024Traveled soloWritten March 16, 2025
- JackOld Bethpage, New York3,409 contributionsCabo da Roca is the westernmost point in mainland Europe and it is truly beautiful. There is a lighthouse atop beautiful cliffs over the water. I went here on a tour stopping at Sintra and Cascais as well and I loved it. I highly recommend stopping here!Visited September 2024Traveled with familyWritten December 23, 2024
- snoozermooseBoston, Massachusetts193 contributionsOur guide brought us here during a day trip to Sintra. It was a further drive than we thought, and there wasn't much to see here, just a nice cliffside view and a placard. Even during the off season, it was quite crowded. While it was cool to be at the westernmost point in Europe, this was not a must-see for us if you have only limited time near Sintra.Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 10, 2024
- Thibault AParis, France677 contributionsThe westernmost tip of Europe is worth a visit. This place is very interesting for views of the ocean and cliffs. There must be clear weather not to go on cloudy days. Plan a jacket because the wind is very strong, surprising and even fun.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 24, 2024
- Marija K173 contributionsWhen planning a trip to Portugal, I promised myself that I would definitely go to Cape Roca. We traveled from Lisbon first by train (from Rossio station), then transferred to a regular bus. In principle, if you do not suffer from topographic critinism, you can easily get there without any guides. There is a lighthouse at Cape Roca, but it was closed, there is a souvenir shop with a toilet. We didn’t find anywhere to eat, but we had a snack with us. The place is simply amazing with its beauty. There is a cliff and there is only ocean and sky ahead. There were a lot of other tourists, but no one was pushing. It was possible to take beautiful photos and videos. I recommend visiting if you have already reached Portugal.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 19, 2024
- HelleninviaggioItaly1,285 contributionsI was undecided about stopping here on the bus ride from Sintra to Cascais and I must say that the all positive reviews I had read here helped me decide to see this place ... and I was really happy! The photos fail to make the emotion of being in front of this spectacle of nature.... Made even more magical by the background of the musician on duty! The hour elapsed between arrival and departure with the next bus flew!!!Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 14, 2024
- AniaPoznan, Poland662 contributionsThis place is one of the must-see in the area. So you expect crowds. Always. Everywhere. But surprisingly it wasn't that bad. The weather in March is changing. So we have windy, sunny and rainny weather. We were there around 2 hours and was fabulous. Souvenirs bought in the shop placed in front of Farol. Really nice design there.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 27, 2024

This review only applies to the cafe at Cabo da Roca, and not the cliffside itself, which is in fact beautiful and well worth a visit. If you arrive at Cabo da Roca and need a WC, don't pay for the one in the tourism office and instead go to the nearby cafe, which will give you a WC ticket with the purchase of any food, even a croissant. Of course, a vegan will have a hard time here, but they do have a vegan burger. It is not on their main menu, so you have to ask about the vegan burger specifically. I thought I ordered a veggie burger but the server brought me a hamburger and I had to send it back. They accept payment by card.

Absolutely worth a visit.
The show is unique: a scenic cliff with a lighthouse.
There is also a monument to indicate that it is the westernmost point of Europe.
I recommend a sweatshirt because a fresh wind is blowing very strongly (and we were in July).

The westernmost point of the European continent, it is worth a visit for the landscape and the air you can breathe, the best time is around sunset when on clear days you can admire the sun diving into the ocean. It doesn't have many parking spaces, many leave their cars along the narrow and only access road. We arrived an hour before sunset and managed to park close to the memorial stone. Advised!

The view from Cabo da Roca is well worth the visit. The 403 bus takes you to Cabo da Roca from Sintra (just by the train station) for 4-5 euros. Visit Sintra first and head on to Cabo da Roca after finishing up ik Sintra. From Cabo da Rica I recommend taking the bus to Cascais and grab dinner by the beach. Lovely place!

Being at the westernmost point of the European continent and looking towards the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean is an exciting, almost moving experience.
The vastness of the Ocean, seen from a very green cliff, towards sunset requires contemplation in religious silence. How small one feels in front of this spectacle...
An emotion absolutely worth experiencing!

If you love great spectacles of nature, you can't miss Cabo da Roca. The westernmost point of the European continent, the force of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crashing on the rock, a non-stop wind, extreme scenery, of absolute charm!!!!

It is really breathtaking! Absolutely amazing spot to visit. Stunning views of the Atlantic ocean from magnificent cliffs. It is located about 45 minutes by bus 403 from the Sintra train station and the ticket cost for one way is 4,35 €. It is very windy so it could be a little bit cold.

Our guide brought our family here. She said that it usually very windy. We were lucky to get a day that was not that windy and enjoyed watching a guy on a slack line crossing the water! A nice monument marking the Western most point of mainland Europe. A lighthouse, but mostly a gorgeous view!

Cool spot due to physical geography but nothing else (certainly not the human history). But several aspects of it feel like a tourist trap (paid toilets, an "information guide" who pushes visitors to buy a 11 euro certificate stating they had been to the western most point in continental europe). The best parts are the coastal bluff trails which are rightly marked as unstable and are steep and short access paths to rocky beaches below and across drainages to adjoining cliffsides. Only try these if you are fit enough and with appropriate footwear.
And make SURE to BRING CASH to pay the 6 euro or so fee for the public bus back towards Cascais or Sintra if you're not using private transport.

The only reason to come here is to say, “We were at the most western part of continental Europe.” There are no beaches here, only cliffs, rocks and a lighthouse built in the late 18th century. There are also a few monuments written in Portuguese.
The Tourist Office will have bathrooms, with a fee about a half a Euro to enter. There is another building that serves as a café. Prices seem reasonable and there are views that stretch out to the Sintra Mountain Range.
The day we arrived it was rainy, hazy and cold. Our tour guide was more than willing to stay in the car. Most tour companies only stop for about 20 minutes or so.
The cliffs are impressive. However, our traveling to the Algarve we saw even more impressive cliffs over the Atlantic Ocean. We particularly liked the south-western point of Portugal, Saint Vincent and its lighthouse.
In reality, unless you knew someplace was the “most western point,” you would never know. The phrase of the famous Portuguese writer, Luis de Camoes, once said, “Where the land ends and the sea begins,” still holds true.

Volevo visitare autonomamente Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais partendo da Lisbona e facendo ritorno a Lisbona in giornata.
Volevo perdere un pò di tempo a Sintra visitando il Palacio da Pena e la Quinta da Regaleira . Quali mezzi di trasporto sicuri mi consigliate?

Vai in una agenzia a Lisbona per organizzare il viaggio, oppure senti se c'è un pullman che fa questa tragitto dalla stazione dei pulman

Ciao a tutti, prossimo weekend 19-20 sarò a Lisbona, sabato intera giornata dedicata alla città, mentre la domenica sarei tentata di arrivare alla meravigliosa Cabo de Roca... Il problema è il tempo perché poi ho l'aereo alle 16.30! Ho visto i diversi itinerari (partenza da Rossio o Cas do sodre x Cascais) e che la metro apre alle 6.30...secondo voi ce la faccio partendo prestissimo? I mezzi di domenica sono cmq frequenti? Grazie mille a chi mi risponderà!
Written November 15, 2022
Ciao Serena, per me sei molto molto tirata. Non ti so dire la frequenza dei mezzi perchè noi abbiamo preso l'auto a noleggio quindi eravamo autonomi. Comunque da centro di Lisbona a Cabo da Roca ci si mette almeno un paio di ore con i mezzi. Fai i tuoi calcoli e buon viaggio!

Ciao! Sto pensando di fare una giornata partendo da Lisbona per poi fare Sintra - Cabo Da Roca - Cascais e il rientro a Lisbona. Per fare tutto il giro è possibile usfruire della Lisboa Card??

Buonasera, tra qualche giorno partirò per Lisbona. Ho intenzione di dedicare una giornata a Sintra e cabo da roca. È consigliabile? Come devo muovermi? Dove posso trovare orari e informazioni sugli autobus da Sintra a cabo da roca? Grazie in anticipo
Written December 8, 2019
Buona sera, vale sicuramente la visita; suggerisco i mezzi pubblici, sono organizzatissimi e costano meno dei tour organizzati. A Sintra assolutamente non in auto perché è impossibile parcheggiare. La Boca do inferno vale la pena solo con il mare brutto; Cascais è carino e tutte queste tappe sono fattibili con una unica linea di bus.

Ciao ,
Sapete se con la lisboa card si puó arriva a Cabo de Roca?
Written August 28, 2019
Francamente non so ma, con viva viagem (abbonamento per tutti i mezzi a Lisbona molto economico) si può andare con il treno fino a sintra e lì comprare un biglietto per il bus (circa3€) credo in totale non più di 7€ per vedere uno dei posti più belli del mondo!

Hello! Trying to create a detailed itinerary and schedule transfers. How much time, in general, should I allocate to Cabo da Roca? I understand that parking is about 300m from the viewpoint. 30min or more like 1 hour?
Written July 12, 2019
1hr is sufficient. You may want to leave your visit for Sunset time. The views are even more amazing and breathtaking at that time.

io ho fatto il percorso da Lisbona a Cascais col treno dalla stazione di Cais de sodre (ci sono treni ogni 10') e una volta arrivati a Cascais abbiamo preso il bus 403 per Cabo de roca (ci sono corse ogni 30' ) dopo aver visitato e fatto pic nic a Cabo de roca, siamo tornati a Cascais col bus 403 (ci sono corse ai 15' e ai 45' di ogni ora) Poi ci siamo fermati a Cascais fino a sera e siamo ritornati col treno a Lisbona (ci sono treni ogni 20' fino all'1 di notte)
Abbiamo preferito questo percorso anzichè fare Sintra a cui abbiamo dedicato un altro giorno perchè se si vuole privilegiare Cascais e godersi Cabo de roca
non si riesce a fare tutto insieme. Costi: il treno da Lisbona a Cascais costa 4,50Euro a testa. compreso andata e ritorno .Il bus per Cabo de Roca costa 3,40 euro a testa per ogni corsa.
Il costo è leggermente superiore al pacchetto che include Sintra, ma fare tutto in un giorno diventa davvero troppo .
