Cabo Girão, located on Madeira’s south coast, stands as the highest promontory in Europe, with its sea cliffs rising more than 1,903 feet (580 meters) above the Atlantic. This clifftop is a popular destination, drawing visitors to its glass-floor skywalk lookout point. From here, you can take in sweeping panoramic views of the rugged coastline and the vast ocean below. The sheer drop and the dramatic landscape create a breathtaking natural spectacle, making Cabo Girão a memorable stop for anyone exploring the island.
