Cape Roca (Cabo da Roca) is the westernmost tip of Europe, which is known from the school geography course. The cape is located on the territory of the Sintra-Cascais National Park. The bus from the Sintra station to the station in Cascais and back makes a stop there. A ticket costs 5 euros, you can buy it from the driver when boarding.
The cape's coordinates 38°47' north latitude, 9°30' west longitude are carved on a monument surmounted by a cross and erected not far from the cliff. The weather here can be much windier than at the resort. From a height of 140 meters, views open up to the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. You can buy a certificate of visiting the End of the Earth, in which your name and surname will be written in ornate letters under the Gothic style. Sometimes, this requires standing in line. Just stock up on a tube or something similar, since the certificate is somewhat larger than a standard sheet of writing paper and it would be a pity to crumple it.
