Sometimes the best way to reset is a short, half-day trip, and if you’re in Lisbon, the perfect destination is the route between Ursa Beach and Cabo da Roca. Start your day with a lazy morning lounging on Ursa Beach — a hidden gem and possibly one of the most beautiful beaches on the coast. The white cliffs and turquoise waters create a sense of seclusion. Don’t forget to bring something delicious for breakfast — taking it slow on the sand sets the perfect rhythm for the day.
After Ursa, a light hike begins — more of a casual stroll than a real trek, but the views make every step worth it. The path leads to one of the most iconic spots in Europe: Cabo da Roca. Standing at the edge of the continent, you’ll feel the raw power of nature. Watching the sunset here is the highlight of the trip — a magical moment that stays with you long after.
After your hike, head to a nearby restaurant or make your way to Cascais for a delightful dinner. This one-day trip is perfect for those looking for a quick escape from city life, a peaceful walk along the cliffs, and an immersion in the beauty of the Atlantic coast.
