In a nutshell
Where I used to imagine I would go on vacation.
6 Reviews One of the darker periods in Lagos’ history is the time when in the 15th century the town sported a market at which slaves, imported from North Africa, were sold on a market. The first African slaves entered post-medieval Europe through this small building that dates back to 1444 although most of it...
Fortaleza da Ponta da Bandeira
6 Reviews This is my favorite point in Algarve. A long walk, or a short ride by car, and you are at a beautiful natural point, 5 Km from town. Naturism is still possible in Pinheirinhos, one of its secluded beaches.
6 Reviews Take a trip on the Dolphin Safaris RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat), which leaves from the Lagos Harbour, when we went it cost about 35 euros each but well worth it,The trip last approx 45mins,Taking in the views of the coastline as well,past the grotto's and boats . Their record for finding the...
10 Reviews This small beach lies to the south of Fortaleza da Ponta da Bandeira, just a stone's throw from the city walls. It's name means, oddly, potato beach so try and not to get fried here! It's a small beach tucked between two small cliffs, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is also known by the...
11 Reviews Built against a section of the city wall overlooking the square where you'll find the statue of Henry the Navigator, this house was built in 1728. It was refurbished in 1737, the date on the facade and was damaged during the 1755 earthquake. The present house was then rebuilt on the ruins in the...
7 Reviews Built in the 13Th century, the castle was seriously dammaged by Lisbon's eartquake. A recent reconstruction effort, rebuilt several hundred meters of walls, respecting their original doors and towers.
5 Reviews If this is your first visit to Lagos, you simply must take a "grotto tour". Step into a small fishing boat, let your local fisherman be your guide, and witness from the water, the distinctive and magnificent cliffs that surround the Lagos area. It is truly a sight unseen! Your guide will navigate...
5 Reviews Lagos' claim-to-fame, this churches plain façade with dissimilar bell towers, dating from 1715, contrasts sharply with the extravaganza of its beautiful and richly decorated interior, which is covered in gold. Its blue-and-white azulejos (18th century) and gilded, intricate wooden carvings (among...
4 Reviews This is the place where all the rich tourists arrive by their yachts and boats. Around the marina you find a lot of open-air places to eat and drink and to have a few over the lively scene of the marina.
3 Reviews This church is located overlooking the square where you'll find the statue of Henry the Navigator and the slave market. It's origins can be traced back to the 14th century but most of it dates from the 15th and 16th centuries although it was rebuilt following the 1755 earthquake and a fire in the...
2 Reviews This museum surrounds the Church of Santo Antonio which you'll pass through on your way round. To say this museum is a little eccentric is an understatement. It has an amazing haphazardness about it with anything and everything being displayed from Roman items to articles brought back from Macau and...

clarinda10 Says: Just got back from a great week in Lagos, loved it! Spent most of my evenings at Wolfs Lair which is just next to Bom Vivant on the main strip. Its open till 4 pm and you can dance your heart out, great music and great staff!! relaxed
Willettsworld Says: I hired a car for my time in the Algarve as I wanted the freedom of exploring all the way along the coast from Cabo de Sao Vicente in the west to Vila Real de Santo Antonio on the Spanish border in the east and so didn't use the local bus. However, there is a very useful...
cachaseiro Says: Even if you are in southern Europe then you are at the atlantic ocean when you are in Lagos and that means that the sea is only around 17-18 degrees celcius warm/cold during summer months, so make sure you are prepared for that.You can go swimming there for sure, but you...
solopes Says: You know that, once, we had a king who took our army to a battle in Morocco, where he was defeated and killed, loosing our independence to the Spanish in 1580 (if you didn't know now you do!). In revenge someone decided to build a statue in Lagos. Very appreciated by some...
Take a trip to Cabo Sao Vicente.
cachaseiro Says: Cabo Sao Vicente is the south nwestern most point of Portugal and is a rocky place with giant waves crashing in and if you have time to make a detour while you Are in lagos then it is surely worth it.The lighthouse and the surrounding buildings at the cape has been restored...
There is a nice little beach right in the center.
cachaseiro Says: In Lagos you also have a very nice little beach right by the center of town where you can walk down in a couple of minutes and it´s a fine little place with nice sand and a nice vibe and a nice place to go if you can live without the party at Meia Praia.
