The Algarve Tours

Overview

Take a trip to The Algarve on your Portugal vacation.

The Algarve is a year-round haven privy to Portugal's gentle climate and abundant sunshine, making it a top destination on the Iberian Peninsula. The region is renowned for its pristine, sun-kissed beaches, inviting travellers to experience the beauty along the Mediterranean Sea in the southern reaches of Portugal

The Algarve offers an array of resorts stretching along an enchanting coastline, many of which have blossomed from humble fishing towns. You will have no shortage of perfect resort options if you're seeking vibrant hubs full of activity or serene, tranquil hideaways. Venturing westward will take you to the coastline embodying a wilder character, complete with untamed beaches ideal for surfing enthusiasts. In contrast, the eastern coast, nestled between Faro and the Spanish border, exudes a more traditional Portuguese charm, distinct from the central Algarve resorts. 

Venture inland to the enchanting hinterlands, where picturesque castle towns and historic villages dot flower-covered hillsides. Discover the Algarve Way, a scenic hiking trail interwoven in the landscape, offering footpaths and cycling routes for exploration. 

The region's capital, Faro, hosts the Algarve's major airport and is the ideal gateway to the city's mosaic-paved pedestrian streets and tranquil waterside gardens exuding irresistible charm. The Cidade Velha, or Old Town, enclosed behind a series of ancient defensive walls, showcases Faro's rich history. Situated on the fringes of the Ria Formosa National Park, the city boasts a remarkable setting amidst saltwater lagoons and mudflats overflowing with migratory birds and wildlife.
