Cabo da Roca
What to expect.
The westernmost point of continental Europe — and kids love this fact disproportionately. Dramatic cliffs, a lighthouse, and a 'you are here at the edge of the world' feeling. The drive from Cascais takes about 20 minutes through Sintra Natural Park. Hold hands near the edges. There's a small café and a gift shop that sells certificates proving you were there. Best paired with Guincho or Sintra for a half-day trip.

Local tip.
💡 It's always windier here than in Cascais — bring a jacket even in summer. The certificate from the gift shop makes a fun souvenir.
