Nice view, worth the trip!
The view from Cabo da Roca is well worth the visit. The 403 bus takes you to Cabo da Roca from Sintra (just by the train station) for 4-5 euros. Visit Sintra first and head on to Cabo da Roca after finishing up ik Sintra. From Cabo da Rica I recommend taking the bus to Cascais and grab dinner by the beach. Lovely place!

Breathtaking!
It is really breathtaking! Absolutely amazing spot to visit. Stunning views of the Atlantic ocean from magnificent cliffs. It is located about 45 minutes by bus 403 from the Sintra train station and the ticket cost for one way is 4,35 €. It is very windy so it could be a little bit cold.

Great views and a bit of a tourist trap. Bring cash for bus!
Cool spot due to physical geography but nothing else (certainly not the human history). But several aspects of it feel like a tourist trap (paid toilets, an "information guide" who pushes visitors to buy a 11 euro certificate stating they had been to the western most point in continental europe). The best parts are the coastal bluff trails which are rightly marked as unstable and are steep and short access paths to rocky beaches below and across drainages to adjoining cliffsides. Only try these if you are fit enough and with appropriate footwear. And make SURE to BRING CASH to pay the 6 euro or so fee for the public bus back towards Cascais or Sintra if you're not using private transport.
