TOP PLACES TO VISIT

Lagos 

One of the Algarve's most beloved coastal towns, Lagos charms with its cobbled old quarter, historic fortress walls, and vibrant marina. Just beyond the center, dramatic cliffs give way to golden-sand coves like Praia Dona Ana and the iconic Ponta da Piedade rock formations. It is a lively blend of history, nightlife, and natural beauty.

Albufeira 

The Algarve's most visited resort town pairs a charming whitewashed old town with a lively strip of beaches, restaurants, and nightlife. By day, the striking cliffs and coves of Praia da Oura and Praia dos Pescadores draw sunseekers; by night, the town comes alive with energy. It remains the region's quintessential seaside destination.

Faro 

The Algarve's historic capital offers a refined counterpoint to its beach towns, with a walled Old Town, cathedral, and cobbled squares steeped in centuries of history. Just offshore, the Ria Formosa lagoon's protected islands and lagoons reveal a quieter, wilder side of the coast. It is the region's cultural and gateway city.
