Cape Roca, known as Cabo da Roca, is a stunning coastal spot in Portugal, recognized as the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Situated near the village of Azoia in the Lisbon District, it's roughly a 40-minute drive from Lisbon itself, making it accessible for a day trip. While public transportation can get you close, driving or taking a guided tour is recommended for ease and flexibility. The site features a lighthouse, panoramic views, and a small monument marking its geographical significance. There's no entrance fee, and you can explore the area in about 1-2 hours. It's open year-round, though visiting in late spring or early fall avoids the peak summer crowds and offers pleasant weather for walking along the cliffs. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket as it can be windy. There are limited facilities, so plan accordingly.
