🇵🇹 A Half-Day Trip to Lisbon – The Cliffside Restaurant Turned Out t
Starting from Lisbon, I originally just wanted to enjoy a seaside dinner while watching the sunset, so I made a reservation at a cliffside sunset restaurant. To my surprise, when I checked the map, I realized that Cabo da Roca was nearby! So I set off early to visit the "westernmost point of mainland Europe." 🌊 Cabo da Roca In the afternoon, I took a Bolt from Lisbon to Cabo da Roca. The wind here is incredibly strong—so loud that it roars in your ears. I’d recommend bringing a jacket because the gusts can get quite chilly. Standing on the cliffs and gazing at the vast Atlantic Ocean, I finally understood why the words engraved on the stone monument move so many people: Aqui… onde a terra se acaba e o mar começa (Here… where the land ends and the sea begins) 🏡 The Cliffside Restaurant ⏰ I reserved a table for 7:30 PM—highly recommend this time slot. It’s perfect for enjoying a meal while watching the sun slowly sink into the sea. After dinner, you can even stroll down to the shore for photos. The water is crystal clear, and the sunset is pure romance. The restaurant is perched right on the cliffs, with the sound of waves crashing below. At sunset, the whole scene feels like a painting, completely immersing you in the view. I arrived early when the sun was still high, and the host seated me by the window. I actually moved to a cozy corner inside, which was still beautiful—but when sunset arrived, I regretted it a little. Still, it didn’t stop me from soaking in the breathtaking scenery. 📍 Restaurant: Restaurante Azenhas do Mar - Piscinas 📱 Reservations can be made via Google Maps or their official website. 📌 Book a few days in advance, especially for sunset dinner slots. 🚗 Transportation | Taxi Freedom 🚌 You can also take the bus (though it requires transfers). I used Bolt the whole way—the drivers were friendly and even waited for me at the sights. Traveling alone means you can take things at your own pace—no rushing, no strict itinerary. Just wandering slowly and soaking in the stunning views of the cliffside town, which far exceeded my expectations. If you have time, spend half a day here just for a meal or a drink. #Portugal #LisbonTravel #CaboDaRoca #CliffsideRestaurant #SoloTravel
