We loved Lagos! Lagos felt like the perfect mix of authentic culture and also was touristy enough to keep us very entertained! It was wonderful to be able to walk to so many beaches, and hiking along the coast was one of our favorite things we did during this trip. We loved the food and the kindness of all of the people we met. Even the streets in Lagos were creative and decorative. The great thing about this area is that if you have a car you can access SO MUCH within an hour of Lagos. I will not list anything in this guide that is beyond an hour. MOST things in this guide you can do entirely without a car, but I will list some things in which a car will be required. I will split the guide into two sections.. with and without car. Believe me there is PLENTY to do here either way! This guide will include all of the things we did while in Lagos. It will include our favorite beaches, places to eat, and things to do. It will also include things I would LOVE to do if we had more time in this beautiful town!

This guide is for anyone visiting Portugal in the summer that wants to get down to the Algarve and see some incredible towns and beaches. This itinerary has you spending most of your trip in the Algarve. However, it does not leave out Lisbon and Sintra as I feel both of these locations are essential and not to be missed. This guide will be full of suggestions for things to do, see, and eat, and many many beaches that are worth visiting! It's a GREAT summer itinerary for visiting Portugal. This guide takes you through Sintra, Tavira, Albufiera, Lagos, and Lisbon. It also features quite a few stops in between! This guide will feature things that I have personally done and are vetted by me and my experience through my time in Portugal. This itinerary is done with a car.

If you're looking for a charming beach town getaway, then you'll love Lagos. Quaint streets, great food, stunning beaches and incredible sunsets every day. Here's a list of all my favorite spots, I hope you love them as much as I do!
