Lagos Transportation

there are ONDA bussen around lagos.
Is cheaper to buy a card ONDA with 10 trips for 7,5 euros for BURGAU and LUZ,bus 4 onda amarela.(otherwise costs 1,50 a trip)
for PORTO DE MOS en MEIA PRAIA 10 trips for 6 euros bus 2.

Lagos is well connected with bus from all major towns in Portugal and the Algarve.
There are also daily busses linking Lagos with Seville, a route that is very popular with the backpacker crowd.
The bus station in Lagos is located right next to the bridge that connects the center of town with the marina.

If you are coming from the center of town and are on your way to Meia praia and don´t feel like walking all the way down to the bridge to cross the river then you have a little ferry service taking you across the river.
It takes about 1 minute and it leaves about every 5 minutes.

I booked Auto Jardim through First Choice here in the UK before going out.
They delivered the car free and on time to the apartment, a nice modern Renault Clio with air con,the only extra to pay was the damage waiver insurance, which turned to be approx euro 52:00 for the week with a 50:00euro deposit,which I got on return of the car.
Overall I was very impressed with their service and would use them again.

the most famous is the stunning beach of Prais de Dona Ana, easily accessible from the Lagos Marina .

Go for the Gerry Breen flight at the Lagos Airport. For 60 euro you might have a twenty minute flight over Lagos and the Ponta de Piedade. Superb viewing the multi-coloured see, rocks, beaches, harbour, and Lagos itself from the air. This miht have been of my most spectaculair experiences of the past year!

If you need to book airport transfers from Faro to Lagos book through www.resorthoppa.com. They are much cheaper than taxis (we saved approx £80). They have english-speaking drivers and we found them to be very reliable and helpful.
