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.
