Discover the tranquil beauty of the East Algarve, where charming towns, elegant architecture, and rich history await.
This must-do day trip includes guided tours of the old town of Faro, the Algarve’s capital, with its impressive monuments; the picturesque fishing village of Olhão, where local culture and gastronomy come together; and the charming city of Tavira, known as the “Venice of Algarve,” with its 37 churches and distinctive “4 águas” rooftops. You’ll also have time to shop or visit the Castle of Tavira, a ruined monument believed to date back to Neolithic times.
Enjoy free time to soak up the relaxed pace of Olhão, pass by the Gilão River, and head to Vila Real de Santo António, a charming town on the Spanish border. With its grand architecture and riverside views, it’s the perfect way to end your day in the serene Eastern Algarve.
