Cabo Girão Skywalk
Cabo Girão is a dramatic sea-cliff viewpoint west of Funchal, best known for its glass-floored skywalk.
History and character
The cape became an iconic viewpoint because of its high cliffs and the small cultivated plots far below.
Why visit
- Glass-floor viewing platform
- Panoramas over the south coast and Atlantic
- Views of terraced farmland at the foot of the cliffs
Practical tip
Go early or late in the day to avoid the busiest tour-bus period.
