A major port and capital of the Algarve for 2 centuries, Lagos is now an important tourist town and historically one of the area's most interesting places to visit. A fascinating mixture of ancient and modern - buildings dating as far back as 1445 combine with the stylish new marina, paved promenades and designer shops in quiet cobbled back streets, making Lagos one of the most sought after resorts along this beautiful coastline.

Nearby, fabulous beaches and coves welcome tourists to their golden sands and golf enthusiasts can play at any of the 3 courses in the vicinity. For those who look to the water for relaxation, the marina provides different boat tours and deep sea fishing outings.
