The Algarve region, located in the south of Portugal, is a unique location thanks to its 150 kilometres of coastline overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The region is the perfect mix between nature and culture, and it is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Europe.
Often hastily labelled as the region of mass tourism in Portugal, Algarve still offers the curious traveller numerous opportunities for a holiday of culture and nature.
Beautiful beaches with fine sand and crystal-clear water, high cliffs against which thunderous waves break, romantic sunsets over the sea, pretty city centres, walks in parks and nature reserves are just some of the wonders that await you if you decide to continue your holiday in Lisbon with a detour to the south.
Due to its mild climate, the Algarve can be visited all year round. During the summer you can bask in the sun and cool off with a dip in the sea. In winter, the south of Portugal is less busy. It takes on a nostalgic and proud charm and is perfect for those looking for a quiet holiday.
