Cabo Girão viewing platform

One of the highest cliffs in Europe - Cabo Girão is located between Câmara de Lobos and Quinta Grande. It is a diamond-shaped slope offering a magnificent panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean. The cliff reaches a height of 580 meters. You can also see it from the water, thanks to the services of numerous cruise ships.

Interestingly, at the foot of Cabo Girão there are arable fields, which farmers can reach by cable car. At Cape Cabo Girão there is also the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Fátima.

In 2012, a viewing terrace with a glass floor was built at the top of the cliff, which is a popular tourist attraction. The views are breathtaking. Visitors may have the impression that they are at the edge of a precipice. The observation deck at Cabo Girão is compared to a similar skywalk structure located in the Grand Canyon in the United States.
