Visitors can explore hidden coves along the coast, take boat trips to the Benagil Sea Cave or enjoy water sports such as jet skiing and parasailing. In the evenings, Albufeira comes alive with live music, rooftop bars and a vibrant nightlife scene.
Faro
Faro is the Algarve’s historic capital and offers a quieter, more authentic side of southern Portugal. The city’s Old Town is surrounded by ancient walls and features cobbled streets, traditional houses and the impressive Faro Cathedral, which offers panoramic views from its tower.
Just outside the city lies the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a protected lagoon system perfect for boat trips, birdwatching and peaceful island beaches such as Ilha Deserta and Ilha do Farol. Faro’s relaxed pace, local markets and waterfront cafes make it an excellent base for exploring the Algarve.

Lisbon is Portugal’s vibrant capital, built across seven hills overlooking the Tagus River. The city is famous for its historic trams, especially Tram 28, which winds through neighbourhoods like Alfama, known for its narrow streets and traditional fado music.
Visitors can explore Belem, home to the Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites and sample the iconic pasteis de nata custard tarts. Viewpoints such as Miradouro da Senhora do Monte offer stunning city panoramas, while the lively Bairro Alto district provides buzzing nightlife and rooftop bars after dark.
