Stop at scenic lookout point Cabo Girao, which is 589 m (1,932 ft) above sea level, before going on a hike. This large sea cliff is popular among tourists for its views of the southern coast of Madeira Island, including the capital city of Madeira. Step onto the glass-floored observation platform, which was added to the site in 2012, for a better vantage point. You'll find hiking trails nearby.

Amazing place for photos of the cliff and shoreline. No entry charge, surprisingly. Easy to reach by bus

Nice place to visit, one of the highest glass platforms in the world. It's very safe, although if you have vertigo it might be a struggle. Ample parking with a cafe, toilets (0.50€ entry fee) and a souvenir shop on site. There was turnstile gates before getting to the platform but these were open and free to enter on our visit. Big thank you to our tour guide Jose who brought us here.

The view is incredible + when you stay on the glass platform. If you're scared of highs, think you'll not like it. 😅
