Praia da ursa

Reviewed By 789stephend - Vancouver, Canada

I found Cabo da Roca to be beautiful and the ocean crashing against the cliffs. There are some hiking trails to explore, well worth the trip out here.

Cabo da Roca

Reviewed By jgoodnow

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe and is well worth the trip from wherever you are on the Iberian peninsula. Windy, craggy, magnificent views of of the crashing surf; we could have spent hours here. Sadly, we were on an otherwise fabulous bus tour and only had 40 minutes. Bring lunch and take your time!

Praia da Adraga

Reviewed By Ispe111 - Tampere, Finland

Very beatiful small beach with big waves and impressice cliffs and rocks. The restaurant is very nice! Take small dirt road from Adraga to Cabo de Roca by car or walking. On the road you can see beautiful rural landscape with old vineyards and orchards.

Praia do Magoito

Reviewed By Asia_Be - La Roche-en-Ardenne, Belgium

We decided to go a bit further away from Cabo da Roca area and drove 30 minutes up to get to this beach. It was a lovely place, almost completely deserted at this time of the year, if not for the many surfers enjoying the waves. The kids were in paradise! World's biggest sandpit, just for them! They bathed in the ocean even though it was 1st of November. In our opinion, well worth the drive!

Centro Historico de Sintra

Reviewed By Vladimiramirela - Mississauga, Canada

My recommendation is to stay overnight in Sintra as there are too many castles and ruins and parcs to visit and with a day trip from Lisbon - as we did - there is not enough time. The architecture is magnificent and there are many small restaurants, however, very busy. Most likely, you may want to start your visit with a full circuit aboard the 434 bus taking you all the way to the Pena Palace, and start coming down, stopping at the Moorish ruins, then visit the palaces closer to the historical center. If you are staying the night, then you have the chance to enjoy a pleasant evening and the excellent Portuguese food on a terrace. You may want to jump on a bus to Cabo da Roca the next day or even spend some time on one of the beaches if you stay longer.
