Awesome views . But come when it is sunny to see the westernmost point of Europe . Beyond the Atlantic lies New York. Feel the gusts of winds through your hair and the high waves dwon the cliff.

Fabio Resende

Most western part of continental Europe . This was in fact where the world ended for centuries. Definitely worth a drive. Absolutely gorgeous.

Derek Wilson

It's always worth reaching one of the extreme points of land. Westernmost, Southernmost, highest, lowest... Etc. Something takes over at these places. Something wild.

Sulaiman

beautiful cliff, emerging 140 meters above Atlantic; It is said to be the most westerly point of mainland Europe.

J Kofler

Check the weather before you go, if you want to go there for the sun set, don't go too early. If it's windy , it's quite chilly and not soo nice to stay there for too long. Stunning view !

Rasmus Stoltzenberg

Awe inspiring, amazing place. Standing on the cliff, knowing the next shore is America makes you feel what the discoverers felt and why they set sail for seas and lands unknown.

Alex G

Must see place in Portugal! Try to make it just before sunset , just amazing!

Jason Quarisa

Beautiful look out and scenery. Very windy and be careful of pick-pockets. There are bathroom facilities but you need to pay €0.50

Elodie

Peaceful and inspiring place. Made it just before the sunset , it was amazing. A must-see if you're planning to visit Lisbon/Cascais/Sintra, etc... Check the weather before you go though !

Vlad the Impaler

Breathtaking from beauty. Incredible landscapes. Be sure to take a walk and try to go down to the ocean. Be sure to take warm clothes , regardless of the season, it is very windy here

Misheru T

A must go! Check the weather forecast before heading out and spend some time hiking around. Make sure you put on a pair of good shoes .

Coco Cat

Come here to see the westernmost point of Europe . The view is lovely, but bring a jacket as it can get cold! Very windy too.

Omar Al Dalaan

The western point of Europe ???? , you must be there when you visit Lisbon. It's 35 minutes away from sintra by bus "403"

Harry

Absolutely stunning views . Stormy, so better bring a jacket . No need to bring your selfiestick! Busloads of Asian tourists are willing to picture your visit in a professional way.

Katerina Kuv

Westernmost point, continental Europe , scenic views , ocean, surf , the most popular place in Portugal

Follow the trail to the north and it will bring you to the bottom of the cape. Shoes with a good grip and hiking experience is a must.

Dagmar

The end of the world, or it used to be in old times. You can get a fancy certificate at the office there, to prove you've been on the most westerly pint of Europe, 6/11 Euros, depending on fanciness

Vildan Yahni

Incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean from the western most point in Europe! Must visit!

Ekaterina

The place "where the land ends and the sea begins". It is the best place in the world to watch the sunset with your truelove

Rafał Malinowski

If you're in Portugal I think you have to go to Cabo da Roca. It's the westernmost point of Europe ;)

Andrei Tarnovski

One of those places that help you discover yourself. Unforgettable, mesmerizing, hypnotising. An absolute must!

Do Jacobson

Check the weather before you go. It could be foggy at some times and you won't be able to see a thing.

Derek West

Excellent view ! Beware of Pina Colada Sexy. Very tasty pineapple drinks. I bought two, but she charged my card for three! Pay cash.

LukaSH

This is the westernmost point of continental Europe . Bring a camera ! And a jacket - it's damn windy here. ;)

Florian Isachsen

Come here before the tourist herds. Sunrise should be early enough and an opportunity to take beautiful photos! If you make it, send me one!

Jazmin Fajardo

One of the greatest landscapes I have ever been. Feel the wind, breath the air, enjoy being alive!

Ania Dziania

Take the bus 403 from outside Sintra train station to get there. It takes about 50 mins and cost 4.10 euro one way. Unforgettable experience!

Alyona Drobysheva

Fantastic place. Must visit. It's more attractive in the winter when grass is green, sky is blue and ocean is emerald

Shey Ventura

Absolutely stunning. You can take a bus from Cascais or Sintra .

Anastasia Sevastyanova

Nice, a bit overcrouded too. A beautiful natural sight.

Alex Curiel

The most western point in Europe! Amazing views of the oceans! Great spot for sunsets !

Alina cerruti

Great lookout point, must see if you’re in the area

Cyrill Schumacher

Crowded spot and the end of the European world ;-)

Adem Ademoglu

One of the best views I've ever seen.I swam in this unique sea with my friends.

Y С

It will be exciting. Beautiful in all seasons and weather. It is a pity there is no extreme entertainment.

Nabil Bazzari

Very windy . Check weather forcast. If foggy not worth going. Go on a clear day as the views are stunning

Nabil Bazzari

Amazing look out on Atlantic. Furthest western point on continental Europe

Maria Beliakova

Awesome place! Must visit in Portugal. Extremely strong wind.

Andrew Lunko

Pricy and not very tasty, but what would you expect from such a touristy place. You also need to order something to make it to the toilet , adds a nice touch to the whole service food situation.

Christine L

Great place to enjoy the view and chill on the "grass" (i.e. succulents).

Daria Sivachenko

Amazing view ! And very windy ..

Eda Sandıkçı

Feels good to be here. Great view . You must visit this cape where continental Europe ends.

Zach Stockwell

Gorgeous view !

Voda C

Good view ! Place worth to go

Honza R.

Cabo da Roca - - Where the Europe ends - - What a beautiful place!

Antonio Gallo

Stop for a moment of pure inspiration behind the Atlantic ocean . Think to the greatness of the men with the Horizon like their only limit...

Ken Camp

Very windy at the western most point of Europe

Do Jacobson

It's a great road trip if you go from Quinta da Regaleira to Cabo da Roca.

Gabi Bulumac
