Would have been 5 stars but was raining. Not 1 but 2 glass floored bridges looking straight down to the sea and cliffs. Photo opportunities on all sides. Nice for a quick visit

Absolutely breathtaking. When we arrived at about noon, there were plenty of people and ot rained. So we decided to leave. In the evening there were no people and the rain only caught us at the end of our way back. One of the most beautiful places we've visited in Madeira.

Glass platform lookout point. Was pretty crowded and had to park on street. Had to also line up to take pics on the platform. Free to visit.

Really stunning view and skywalk/cliff walk. The walks were amazing. The view was really beautiful. There were two glass walk. The best thing is that it is free to visit. It wasn’t hard to find parking.

A very nice viewpoint with a few parking spaces available. We arrived early in the morning and had no trouble finding a spot. There are also public toilets on-site. The views from the cliff are stunning, and during our visit, we even saw two rainbows. A short stop, but definitely worth visiting.

We went twice because it was so beautiful! Great for sunrise, we got to see the waterfall on the side of the cliff. There is two see through glass lookouts on the other side that are beautiful as well. Not much parking so arrive early!
