- Krishnan RHayward, California230 contributionsViews are great especially coastalWe took a little day trip and organized ourselves to Sintra, Portugal. The vista view points are very nice. You can see the light house and it faces the Atlantic Ocean. Around 1PM, not too much wind and some sun made it comfortable. A must visit if you plan to come to SintraVisited December 2023Traveled with familyWritten December 31, 2023

- The_Concierge_8Trinidad and Tobago3,751 contributionsThe detour here is worth the drive when visiting Sintra! Breathtaking! Try to go on a sunny, clear day!It 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
- AniaPoznan, Poland580 contributionsMarch is a great time to visitThis 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
- snoozermooseBoston, Massachusetts193 contributionsCool stop but not worth going out of the wayOur 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

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.

It’s the most westernmost point of the continent that was formerly considered to be the end of the known world.
The scenery it’s absolutely stunning and picturesque
The raging Atlantic Ocean waves pound the base of the massive jagged cliffs while challenging hiking trails follow the coastal.
It’s a place which gave you a special feeling. It’s a must see !!!

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.

Remarkable views of the coastline though it is quite windy, as one could expect, so bring a light jacket even if it is in the 70s or low 80s F. No free restrooms on site, only in the coffee shop or tourist info center where both charge a nominal fee. Bring coins for this. Unless you plan to eat/drink something, max you need is one hour (realistically thirty minutes).

The westernmost peninsula of continental Europe. A must-see when visiting Lisbon and its surroundings. A wonderful place, undoubtedly worth visiting, beautiful views, an old lighthouse. Amazing colors of the sea, steep cliffs, hidden beaches. Great coast and the vastness of the ocean. There is a café with a wine and souvenir shop on site, and the information point where there is a paid toilet.

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.

This place is lovely! It really feels like we are no longer in Portugal but in an unspoiled place. Breathtaking views and the cobalt blue sea in the distance. it is a time to sit back and appreciate the westernmost point of the European continent.
When I went it was very windy so I recommend taking something with you because it's really windy.

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!

Given we were in the area, we stopped at Cabo da Roca which is the Western most point of mainland Europe. The vantage points of the coastline and Atlantic are impressive but there were SO many people crawling around (in places they shouldn't have been) to make the stop enjoyable. There is a nearby lighthouse you can also view if you wish.

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??
Written July 19, 2022
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
30 min. could be enough. I would stay that 1 hour is too much.

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 .

Ciao,
