The Algarve is an amazing tourist destination for many reasons. It is the beautiful southern coastline of Portugal and is blessed with glorious sandy beaches, picturesque fishing towns, and a glorious climate, all of which combine to create the perfect holiday destination1.
The Algarve is wonderfully varied; there are pristine beaches for families, waterparks for thrill-seekers, buzzing nightlife for partying or historic towns for a cultural trip. Along with the vibrant towns, there is over 200km of stunning coastline, a mountainous interior and tranquil nature reserves, all to discover1.
For a holiday destination, the Algarve is a hassle-free destination; the region is very safe, hotels are of a high standard, English is widely spoken, and the Portuguese are welcoming and hospitable. As well as being an outstanding holiday destination, the Algarve is also one of the least expensive destinations in Europe (Post Office data from 2019), and is significantly cheaper than Spain, Greece or France1.
There are many attractions and places to visit in the Algarve such as Faro’s Old Town, Vila Real de Santo António Praça Marques de Pombal, Alcoutim, Tavira, Olhão, Loulé and Vilamoura2. The Algarve has something to offer for everyone.
