Our visit to Cabo da Roca was a brief part of our Sintra day trip. It was definitely worth the stop of for us but I can’t say it would have been worth the time/effort if we relied on mass transit. The location has a fantastic view of the Atlantic. I had hoped to get into the light house area but this was totally off limits. There are has many trails and hiking opportunities, but I can’t say how far these trails go. During our stop in Sintra, the weather was partly sunny and warm. When we got to Cabo da Roca, it was overcast, chilly and windy. Believe the other reviews – bring a jacket!

I visited here during a day tour of Cascais. The views of the ocean and the cliffs took my breath away. I also enjoyed the bus ride from Cascais. A definite must see if you are anywhere near Lisbon

As a native Jersey Girl, I spent much of my life on the Eastern shores of the Atlantic. To be on the Western shores was a thrill. We went as part of a tour so only spent about 45 minutes there and did not visit the museum. But it was absolutely breathtaking.

We were in Lisbon for a few days and we added Cabo da Roca to our day trip to Sintra. It was sunny and very windy, busy with tourists but the view is worth everything! So beautiful and if you have more time you can hike along the coastal line, we just did a little hike to see bit more and get away from the crowd. My Mom has been here many years ago and she was telling me you have to see it. I glad I made a trip there, it’s just breathtaking! I’ve could sat there for hours and watching the waves crushing to the cliff.

This place is worth visiting if you are visiting Sintra and/or Cascais area. It’s definitely worth the short detour. Afterall it’s the most westerly part of Europe. Bring a sweater and a windbreaker as it gets rather cold and extremely windy there. When visiting this place, enjoy the views, take. Walk round the area, and respect the warnings not to climb over the boundaries or you put yourself at risk of falling into the rocks and rough ocean.

Take the CP 1253 bus! It is a smaller yellow bus, easily marked with a number of bus stops throughout downtown Sintra. If you Google maps Sintra (Estação), there is a 1253 bus stop right in front of that. The Viva Vivagem zapping card works now (after the bus line changed to CP). Took about 43 minutes one way, so plan your time accordingly. Overall, it was worth a good 30 minutes of time viewing.

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!

It’s the best place I’ve ever seen. If you like the nature and to explore new places you should visit it. I went from Lisbon to Sintra (about 1 hour) by train. After that I went to castle Quinta da Regaleira by foot (I recommend to visit). And then I went to Cabo da Roca by yellow bus. There is a small cafe there. Prices are like at the most touristic places. I took the food from the supermarkets in Lisbon, so I didn’t spend a lot of money. Also you can buy the certificate about your visiting the most western point of Eurasia at the touristic office. It costs 10€. There is one of the oldest lighthouse in Portugal. I recommend to take warm clothes because of wind and cool. It’s picturesque place. You feel unforgettable emotions. There isn’t a big area with fencing there, where you can enjoy the views. So, I recommend to go down to the beach. The road to the beach is opening incredible views. But the road is dangerous a little because of stones, sand and other moments. I didn’t risk to swim because of big waves, but some people did it. Mostly people were sunbathing, walking and enjoying. You have to return to the main area (to the top of cliff) and stay there to see the sunset. It’s so wonderful and amazing. But be careful about the bus. Because according to the schedule, the bus must go until 10-11, but at 9 o'clock the bus wasn’t already there. Be ready to return by a taxi. My advice: always focus on positive thing😉

Beautiful views await you at this stop on the Portugal coast. The western most spot in Europe. While crowded with bus tours there was plenty of room for tourists to spread out and enjoy the views. There are also hiking trails available for those more mobile than myself
