Balancing serenity and excitement, the Algarve has something for every traveller’s pace.

Culinary culture
The Algarve’s cuisine is all about fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Seafood lovers will delight in grilled sardines, octopus salad, and cataplana—a rich seafood stew. Sweet treats like almond cake and fig jam reflect the region’s agricultural roots. Pair it all with a glass of crisp Vinho Verde (a fresh slightly sparkling wine) or local Algarve wine, and enjoy it beachside or in a rustic village tavern.
Dive Deeper
Explore the Via Algarviana, a 300-kilometre cycling route through the Algarve’s scenic interior, or wander through historic castles and forts that tell stories of Moorish rule and maritime exploration. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy touring the world-class golf courses, popular due to the mild climate, and stunning scenery. Featuring more than 40 golf courses, many of which have been designed by some of the biggest names in golf course architecture, the region also hosts several high-profile golf tournaments throughout the year. And for the more adventurous, the Algarve’s coastline offers the perfect playground, with clear waters and steady winds ideal for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding.
Good to know
The Algarve enjoys over 300 days of sunshine a year, with hot summers and mild winters—ideal for both beach holidays and active escapes. Faro Airport is the region’s main entry point, with easy connections to major towns. Trains run along the coast from Lagos to Vila Real de Santo António, while buses connect inland villages and resort areas. Renting a car is a convenient option for exploring more remote beaches and countryside.
