The Cabo da Roca is the most westerly point of mainland Europe and is a barren, wind-blasted landscape of massive cliffs and raging seas. The main attraction of the Cabo da Roca is the raw beauty of nature. There are short hiking routes along the cliff tops, but most visitors head here for the scenery, or to simply boast that they’ve been to the “most westerly point”. The headland is 15km north of Cascais, and there is a bus service (route 403) from the main bus station.

The 16th Fortaleza da Cidadela was a mighty fort that guarded the mouth of the Tejo Estuary against sea bound attacks, and comprises of solid walls and imposing battlements. The fort has been since transformed into a stylish hotel and artisan center. The artisan scene is more boutique focused with marina close by but is certainly worth a visit.

This is a very pleasant place to walk around and explore.
There are Restaurants and Pubs and it´s a very safe and secure area ( as all Cascais in general) to walk around.
Many of the streets are cut to traffic, so it is very nice and safe to do it with children also.
