• A 140-meter drop sits just past the viewpoint by the cross, so keep small kids close to the fence
• Ticketed lighthouse visit: the courtyard and interpretation center open 9:30am to 5:30pm, and the guided balcony visit runs in English at 1:30pm
• Café in the lighthouse courtyard, open 10am to 5:30pm, for a sit-down break between viewpoints

Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point of mainland Europe, a bare clifftop where the land drops about 140 meters into the Atlantic. A stone cross quotes the poet Camões, and the red-and-white lighthouse, lit since 1772, is one of the oldest on the Portuguese coast.

Kids can look out from the viewpoint by the cross, walk the clifftop paths, and tour the lighthouse's interpretation center.
