Former fishing village with beautiful sandy beaches

A small fortified town in the southwest of Portugal

One of the oldest maritime centers in Portugal
Albufeira is one of the Algarve’s most popular seaside towns, known for its golden beaches and charming old town. Stroll through narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings, historic churches, and lively squares. Venture just outside the city to explore the ancient Paderne Castle, once held by Romans, Berbers, and Christian knights — a reminder of the Algarve’s rich and diverse history. End your day relaxing on one of Albufeira’s scenic beaches.
Located at one of Europe’s southwesternmost points, Sagres played a key role in Portugal’s Age of Exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries. This small fortified town offers dramatic ocean views where ancient sailors once stood. Visit the historic Sagres Fortress and enjoy a locally brewed Sagres beer as you gaze out toward the vast Atlantic — a spot long believed by ancient Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans to be a gathering place for the gods.
Begin your visit to Faro at the 13th-century cathedral before walking through the iconic Arco da Vila, which has greeted sailors for over a millennium. Stroll along the marina or board a boat to explore the secluded beaches and islands of the Ria Formosa lagoon — a perfect escape from the bustle of the city. Faro offers a unique blend of history, vibrant culture, and natural beauty.
As one of Portugal’s oldest maritime centers, Lagos played a key role in launching the Portuguese Age of Exploration. Walk along the city’s historic walls and admire the white baroque towers of St. Anthony’s Church. Beyond the old town, discover peaceful coves and hidden beaches along the coastline — an idyllic way to end your Algarve adventure.
The best time to visit the Algarve is in spring or fall, when pleasant temperatures and a wonderful climate are particularly inviting for hiking and exploring the region.
