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!

Are you looking for a laid-back beach town with a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and a lively atmosphere? Lagos, Portugal is a vibrant coastal town located in the stunning Algarve region and it's an excellent destination for first-time visitors. My husband and I had a relaxing and enjoyable two weeks in the coastal town of Lagos, located in the southern Algarve region of Portugal. The city retains its Portuguese charm but is very much an international tourist town. English is widely spoken and a variety of cuisines available. Check out this guide and enjoy the relaxing pace, delicious local seafood, coastal trails, and beaches in Lagos! Also visit out my Lisbon and Porto guides, too! * Save this guide for a future trip!*
