8 days in Albufeira Itinerary

Along Portugal's southern Algarve region sits Albufeira, a city boasting 20 beaches for visitors to choose from.

Escape the urban bustle at Ponta da Piedade and Praia dos Pescadores. You'll get in some beach time at Praia Dona Ana and Praia dos Tres Irmaos. Venture out of the city with trips to Portimao (Vau Beach & Tres Castelos Beach), Lagos (Praia do Camilo, Praia da Batata, &more) and Estacao Arqueologica Romana da Praia da Luz (in Luz). There's much more to do: trek along Percurso dos Sete Vales Suspensos, surround yourself with nature on Aurora Boat Trips, kick back and relax at Praia dos Salgados, and stroll through Praia de Albandeira.
