Cabo da Roca: TripTemptation Visited The Edge Of The World

Less than an hour from Lisbon there is a famous place: Cabo da Roca.... or the most westerly point in Europe. People who lived here (right up to the 14th century) believed it was the edge of the world. We could not miss it, and it turned out to be absolutely worth visiting.

This enchanted place is very quiet and peaceful. Especially in winter. One can find here nothing.... just the light house, a small coffee shop and a gift shop. And of course unique nature.... the real paradise for photographers.

Usually tourists spend 20-30 minutes here. We have done all the trails and discovered the hidden corners of the most mysterious place in Europe. And for certain we recommend visiting it.

  • As a travel photographer I have a special passion for discovering picturesque sites. There is a place in the US that I was dreaming about for a long time - Monument Valley – one of most photographed landmarks in America. This sandy preserve located on the Arizona-Utah state line, bathing in magnificence of rich red hues, left me speechless. I couldn’t stop making pictures and stayed awake all night not to miss the sunrise.

  • Anywhere our Trip Temptation team go for a holiday, we try to find and experience the best afternoon tea ceremony in the area - especially when we travel to England, the country which is synonymous with afternoon tea. This time we were in the Lake District and we chose a peaceful and tranquil place by the river and mountains – the luxurious Eltermere Inn.

  • Switzerland is popular not only for its cheese and watches, but also for its unbelievable scenery so, when we went to Zurich, we decided it would be a shame to spend the whole weekend in one city.

  • Many tourists come to London every year and enjoy the vibrant capital city, but less than half of them explore other parts of foggy Albion. That’s not right! Great Britain is a fabulous place to travel around. There are so many things to do and see, you just can’t miss it. Here is my list of favourite castles, from elegant England to mysterious Scotland – and believe me, I’ve visited a lot of them!

  • I’m a traveller with great experience. I have travelled around the world and have seen many unbelievable places and people. But this trip to Africa was different. It was like a dream which turned over my consciousness. Now that I am back and can think rationally, I can confirm, “This was the best and most vivid trip of my life”.

  • Wales is known for its amazing rugged landscapes of wild forests, snow-capped peaks, lakes, and an amazing coastline as well as for its distinctive Welsh language and Celtic culture. The special ambiance of this magic place makes it a real tourist magnet, especially during the summer. Let’s pack, unplug and explore the untouched valleys and sleepy villages of this amazing region in Great Britain!

I still remember my first trip. It was to London. I fell in love with this city the moment I saw it. Just - "click", and my heartbeat quickened. I was chosen by it. Red and funny double-decker buses, serious black cabs, the gorgeous Buckingham palace... That's it! I am your admirer forever! From that moment I have visited many places and have been to many countries. Traveling became my passion. My long lasting love, which I hope will never end.
