Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Hiring a car is a popular way of getting around the Algarve, giving holidaymakers the chance to explore at their own pace. Book in advance if you want to guarantee the car you’re after, for a decent price. Drivers need to be at least 21 years old. Make sure you stick to the right.
There is also a good bus service connecting the various coastal resorts and a large fleet of taxis in operation. The Algarve is a perfect region for walking and cycling, with many trails, paths and routes linking the beach towns and resorts.
Hit the Beaches
The Algarve is largely known for its stunning coastline and many visitors come here for its breath-taking beaches. Here are some of them:
Praia dos Três Irmãos – Literally means beach of the three brothers. It’s a secluded beach with towering rock formations and many hidden caves that can be explored.
Praia de Dona Ana – It’s one of the most picturesque beaches in the area and it can be reached on foot from Lagos city centre in about half an hour.
Praia do Camilo – A walking distance from Praia de Dona Ana, this beach is divided into two separate areas connected by a tunnel carved inside the rock.
Praia da Falesia – This is one of the longest beaches in Algarve. It’s perfect for water sports with plenty of excellent facilities as well as places to eat and drink.
Praia da Marinha – Like most beaches in Algarve, this beach can only be accessed by a steep wooden staircase and the views from the top of the cliffs are remarkable.
Family Holidays
This is an extremely popular holiday destination for families. Here are just some of the kid-friendly attractions and activities on offer during an Algarve holiday:
Side & Splash is one of the largest waterparks in Europe and the largest one in Portugal but there are others you can go to.
