Water slides & pool are lovely & clean. Dolphin show is amazing. Atmosphere is calm & friendly. Food is a little pricey & I felt the Pirate show was lacking adventure. The toilet facilities are good & clean. Lockers are available. You can hire sun loungers & shade - €10. (Or just a lounger for €5) Parking is free. I would recommend a visit.

Nice experience and so much fun! The pools were great, just be careful if you go in summer, you probably won't have any space to move. Same thing goes for the food, you will have to wait a long time, specially in the summed but overall, it's worth it

We have now visited Zoomarine 4 times and loved it every time. The place is clean, staff polite & friendly. Everything is well sign-posted. Shows that they put on are always great, educating and fun. Animals are looking healthy and well looked after. The swimming pool is awesome, spacious and warm. Good selection of water slides and rides. Butterfly world is a lovely addition to the park. Will definitely be back in the future.

This place is amazing!! We are definitely going again! It is a theme park/water park/zoo! It has everything you need, there is cafes and restaurants and lockers so no need to bring anything just your swimming costume and ticket, highly recommend.

Amazing place, any animal lover will find something for themselves. Over the whole day, there are several shows of dolphins, seals and sea lions, parrots, birds of prey and tropical birds, so you can plan the visit how you want. The 🐬 and 🦭 shows were absolutely amazing, go there first in case you want to repeat it later 😀 There is also aquarium 🐠, 🦋 garden  and 🦜🐢🦩🐊 habitats, all open the whole day. The slides are cool too, but the queues are really really long. I would recommend you to get there early as there is a lot to see 🤩.

Was lots to do. There were alot of rides for the kids. It’s nice that there is the zoo and the water park as well as regular rides so you can do all the rides and animals and then relax in the water park. Although it was busy there wasn’t a wait time for anything. We went on a Saturday in the off season so wasn’t bad at all. Really reasonable to get in. Food was very reasonably priced as well.

I'm always a bit dubious of these places and the welfare of the animals, but they do seem to do a lot of conservation work with the dolphins and have had dolphins born there and live to old age. The park is really well laid out with something for everyone; from dolphins and seals to the actual theme park and dinosaur land. The ticket cost might seem expensive at first, but it does include access to shows and use of rides. We spent 5 hours there easily and still didn't get seeing everything. Definitely a big hit with the little ones.

Loads to do here, the water park is amazing with loads of slides. The rides here are great fun for the kids. All the animal shows are amazing. We even did the swimming with dolphins this was amazing. Alot of money but the memory's are there for ever.

Great family day out. Next time we'll bring swimwear so we can enjoy all of the park properly. I would recommend a couple of days as there is so much to do and see. Great shows as well as rides.

Absolutely Fantastic place! The Dolphin show was amazing. The place was clean and tidy. Food was a bit pricey for the quality, but they are always, in these sort of places. My daughter also had the Dolphin interaction in a group, which she liked. It was fantastic to learn about these beautiful animals.

Great place for families with children, a lot of water toboggans, swimming pool, waves pool, you can stay on the grass or on the sand. Good prices for food and drinks. In a few words just great for fun in the summer holidays!!

Great day out for the kids, food tasty and not too expensive. Long queues to be expected for the rides, would definitely need a 2 day ticket to get around all of the attractions. Shows are very good and not to be missed, especially the dolphin and pirate show.

This place is amazing, a little bit of everything in one location. 37€ for an adult entry fee and €27 for a child above 100 cm. The dolphins 🐬 are the highlight, the wave pool is lovely and mild. You have to pay for any deckchairs but plenty of grassed area to relax and have a picnic. The rides are great and they have shows in various areas of the park. Butterflies 🦋 to see, bird 🐦 shows, seal and sea lion show. Plenty of areas to eat from and sit. The kids play area is fun and a couple of big pool to play and swim. Pools were great at a good temperature 🌡. Full fun day out for all the family. Highly recommended 👌

Worth a family trip , decent park overall. All the shows were good but the Dolphin show was amazing and definitely not to be missed. Good restaurants offering wide varieties. Water slides were well maintained and kids friendly .

Great place to visit whilst on your holidays. My hotel was 30minute coach journey which isn’t bad. The shows are great only managed to see the seal show due to the timing for other shows and activities. To do everything would be best over 2 days. Food and drink prices are reasonable. To use the pools and water the lockers are €5 and €5 deposit which you get back once the key has been handed back in. Good ride selection for children and adults to take part also.

Very good theme park, most would need two days to explore it all. The dolphin and seal shows are fantastic, it is lovely to see the love and care the trainer's have for them. Also the pirate show is a lot of fun. It's very clean and well looked after, well worth the entrance fee, also the band's that you can put money on are handy so you don't have to carry cash or your phone with you and it's refundable at the end of you don't spend it all. Although it doesn't work on the drinks machine's so you might need cash for them. It's recommended to get there before 10am so you can fit it all in if your only there for a day also there is a very good app to plain your day.

Fantastic place. A must visit for anyone going to Portugal. Dolphin emotions was unbelievable. Usually I'd be concerned about enclosures but they are spacious and seem very well cared for!. Kids loved the water park too plenty of options for all ages.

Had a really amazing day here with my husband & even though it rained a little it didn't dampen our spirits. The park is immaculate with lots to do for anyone of any age. We arrived for it opening & didn't leave till closing time & I love how much they do for conservation.

Fantastic place. All animal displays were dual language. Videos have subtitles. all animals looked healthy and happy. My wife and I had a deal for up to 3 day visits included in our holiday package. You definitely need 2 days to see all shows and exhibitions as well as make use of the pools and fun fair rides. Nice cool under cover pic nic/food hall area as well as grass and "beach" areas if you wish to be in the sun.

Fantastic place. We got the two day pass and it was great value for money. Delicious, reasonably priced food. Nice little rides for the kids. Lots of shows on. Dolphin show was excellent. Only put a star down as we weren't told that we needed to get a wristband for the second day, so when we arrived the second day, we had trouble getting in. Reception sorted it for us eventually but treated us a bit like it was our fault.

Great little theme park/water park. Only downside was that because it had only just opened for the season there was still parts that were closed. But good thing about this was there was no wait for any of the rides. Plenty to do for young children, my 2 year old loved the rides he was able to go on.

We went late in the day yet we still had a wonderful time. Download the app and get to know the map & schedule it will help. Definitely recommend to spend a day there.

We purchased tickets online before visiting. We got an Uber so that we arrived as soon as it opened. Tickets were scanned, no problems and straight in, no queue. We took a look at show times, etc, and decided we pretty much wanted to see all of them. From about 10:30, we went from one show to the next. We really enjoyed the dolphin show and the pirate show. The sealion / seal show was also pretty good, and the Upbeat show was really good, albeit wasn't what we were expecting! Between shows, we tried some rides. There are not loads, but perfect for young kids. We also managed to squeeze in the 4d cinema in the early afternoon before we went off and utilised the lockers (wish we had worked these out earlier in day - you pay for the day but you can go in and out of them on a code) and got changed to try some of the water rides, wave pool and kids splash area. We really enjoyed the jurassic rapids, and as there was no queue, we managed to go round extra times. Around the pool areas, there are sun loungers and areas you can hire. It seemed a little expensive to me after you've already paid to get in, but they were very popular. There were also places to eat, and the prices were reasonable. We went to the gift shop on the way out, where you can also see photos if one was taken. The gift shop was OK, but certainly not the best gift shop ever. We went out of season, so not all of the park was open. With that said we were busy the whole day and could have easily spent a few extra hours there - I guess that's why the second day entry is popular (as well as it only being 10 euro for a second day!) According to the signs at the park they are also building more of the park (as well as the bits not open due to the season), so expect it to get bigger in the future. A great place to go, and whilst we debated if we wanted to go initially, I think we were all pleased that we did in the end! (We also slept well that night!)

Great place to visit if you're in the region, fun for all the family/here on your own or as a couple. There are amusing shows to attend including a fantastic dolphin show, but with lots of emphasis on conservation and the marine hospital that they have. Great water and funfair rides as well as a wave pool, massive swimming pool and lots of areas to lounge. Definitely worth going to if you're here for a few days.

Went in non peak and was perfect! Got to see all the shows and have great seats. I know zoos are a touchy subject for some but they really did make it clear about breeding projects and planet care.

Fab day out, so much to see and do. The €10 for 2nd day is a great deal. Highlight was the Butterfly 🦋 House, Dolphins and water slides 🐬🐬

I was unsure about going here as I'm not a big fan of zoos. I was pleasantly surprised. The displays were good, although aimed at a slightly younger audience. The usual lectures about how we humans are bad for the environment etc.

Great day out. We got a taxi here 20/10/23. £72 euro for two adults and a child but well worth it and you will need the majority of the full day to enjoy. The dolphin show is beautiful and there is a bird show too. We had to rent beds for 15 euro which was fine. Little amusement park and we had lunch here too. Great day out.

I absolutely love Zoomarine. I have been coming for over 20 years and every time I am there it brings so much joy to myself and anyone I am with. The care for the animals and the message of conservation and protection for wildlife is genuine and amazing. I will always come back and the growth in their almost 35 years is incredible. Well done Zoomarine, keep saving ocean lives.

Amazing place long sandy beach and another side are red and yellow rocks. It's around 12km for walking along the beach. Good for hiking and walkable on the top of the rocks and by the ocean. Amazing views.

Awesome long beach. Amazing sunsets

Absolutely stunning clean beach, turquoise water and golden sands.

Really beautiful clean beach. Miles and miles of beautiful sand. Plenty of cafes along the beach when you need a break. Sea quite shallow but be careful of the strong currents. A good place to try out surfing if you are a beginner as waves not too big. Keep walking along the beach and there are water sports and para sailing activities.

Quite amazing beaches and rock formations along this coast. You can walk along the beach or on the cliff through the greenery. Both have very different aspects of the rock formations. Great sunset views too. Highly recommend!

Super chill beach. Perfect place for reading and sunbathing. Nice boardwalk behind the sandbar so you can enjoy the views and ocean sounds without having to get sandy too!

Stunning beach great for swimming not too steep and not too shallow, water 18 degrees in November so perfect

Incredible beach against the backdrop of some beautiful red cliffs. Amazing and clean sand, tonnes of space. No animals / dogs as the cliffs are quite dangerous. The water is lovely and you can rent pedalos/jetskis if that floats your boat

Absolutely awesome and stunning. Great place to walk around and enjoy the nature in it's fullest. Fresh air and the Sound of the ocean and the breeze of the wind will make you comfortable. A dream for everyone who enjoys nature like that. Teardropping Beautiful. Stunning what the nature and ocean did here. Must visit!

We were here 4 years ago and think if you want to complete with the establishment beside the car park you need to give it a good overall but food and drink was good and reasonable priced

Nice beach of fine white sand with some low lying red cliffs. A wooden walkway runs along a section of the beach.

Big beautiful beach, but quite windy. Best to go during sunrise.

What a beautiful place, the beach is stunning lovely walk along seafront to the harbour , 27 degrees in May (great time too go as not crowded ) a little windy but was a lovely relief from the heat ! had such an amazing holiday rebooked for October already !! Highly recommended for a relaxing break, great food, friendly people, Portimao did not disappoint😋

Beautiful clean sandy beach. Dotted with restaurants and toilets. Well maintained board walks on the beach itself. Sun beds and umberellas are available for hire by the day. Gently sloping entry to sea.

beautiful and large beach. has a nice pier you can walk with a lighthouse. good restaurants near by overlooking the beach. highly recommend this beach

We are here for Christmas - New Year vacation 2022-23. Most of the restaurants on the boardwalk are closed but few are open. Weather is sometimes foggy, sometimes sunny. Water too cold for me to swim but children enjoyed. Very peaceful and not crowded at all.

Lovely beach. We stayed in Portimao and it was quite close to our hotel. Easy access to beach. Very clean and lots of nice restaurants nearby.

Buena playa, extensa y con muchos servicios de hamacas 15€ día y 10€ medio día. Muchas veces tiene pequeño oleaje que los niños se lo pasan genial. Con marea baja puedes pasar a la playa de al lado. (Translated by Google) Good beach, extensive and with many hammock services €15 a day and €10 half a day. Many times it has small waves that children have a great time. At low tide you can go to the beach next door.

I read through some of the negative reviews stating it's too full, it's too much for mass tourism and that is not incorrect. There are a lot of people. There are not the most beautiful buildings in sight from the beach. But it is still a beautiful beach with some nice rock formations on the side. The beach is quite shallow in the beginning and generally the sea is calm (with exceptions obviously), which makes it suitable for children and elderly alike. There are more beautiful beaches in the area and in the world but for a mass tourism beach in a city this is very nice and relaxing.

It has become our favorite beach here. Plenty of areas, lounge chairs with umbrella rentals, plenty of restaurants, beach volleyball, vendors and of course the water.

Beautiful clean beach plenty of little tourist shops really nice.lots of bars and food places along the beach and lots of new decking for you to walk on very nice

Best longest stretch of beach to avoid crowding. Lovely clean, white sandy beach and plenty of space to find your own.

Nice sandy beach with great places to eat and sun beds to chill. The far you go on the right, the cheaper the price will be 😉 just saying

Awesome beach! It’s huge so it never actually feels busy! Great boardwalk and wooden paths to get you almost all the way to the water. Seating and umbrellas are all over the place (usually free to use) and the places to eat are very good with reasonable prices for being right on the beach. We ate there multiple times on a single trip. Water is clean, beach is clean, and workers are always out to clean it up. I swear I never saw trash anywhere which is incredible to me. Needless to say, we ll be visiting this beach again 🏖️

A nice place to visit. Apparently it is quite popular among the surfers' community, to which I do not belong. Still, the place is beautiful, the beach is huge and impressive but I guess the water temperature is on the low side. There is a small church worth visiting and a few places to eat.

Beautiful beach. There were free beach ashtray available !! A lot to do with clear water rocks and restaurants along the beachfront.

This is a huge beach with a large number of beachside restaurant/cafés, some of which are open in low season. Difficult to park and access to beach requires many steps. Fantastic boardwalk for walking along beach without getting sandy.

Beautiful long and wide sandy stretch of paradise. In season, busy with sun bathers, families, young and old, out of season dog walkers, hikers, thinkers, surfers, couples, and photographers. Framed by orange cliffs, hidden caves, and ever changing ocean colour scapes, this is one of the best beaches in Europe.

Beautiful clean beach! Plenty of bars and restaurants available to choose from!

I've been here loads of times, great beach with loads of places to eat and have a cocktail or two.

One of the most beautiful beach I've been to. Very long and sandy. Arrived in mid October, not so busy, and temperature still around 25c. Lots of restaurants, beach chairs, showers available too.

Beautiful beach! Long with plenty of space for many people without feeling too crowded. Nice board walk with many restaurants to cool down after a good swim. Highly recommended!

Very nice, large. Nice fish restaurants on the beach. From above there are amazing views

Praia da Rocha, with its expansive golden sands framed by majestic cliffs, is a spectacle of nature's beauty. The beach is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and panoramic sunsets that dazzle visitors daily. While summer pulses with energy and crowds, the off-season reveals a quieter, pet-friendly haven, allowing for leisurely walks with furry friends along the water's edge. It's an idyllic spot for both sun worshippers and those seeking a peaceful retreat with their dogs outside the peak season.

I was very lucky to have amazing weather . From Lagos station I took the walk all the way to this place and I was not disappointed. It was so worth it . This is one of the most beautiful cliffs beach I have seen so far . The road down to the beach is steep but you have long set of wooden stairs leading to the ground level . However , to appreciate this treasure , the best is from above . There is public toilet there an little restaurant . Also from here , you can explore walking on right side of the cliff or left side . Either way you will decided to go , you will see great landscapes .

Scenic view spot. We walked there for about 10 mins after parking the car nearby. The walk is challenging during the day 🥵with the sun but the views are absolutely stunning. One of the best views of the Algarve coastline. We loved it ❤️❤️

Beautiful, even more awesome out of the crowd. Spent some days in Lagos, perfect place to explore south of Portugal. Avoid sunny day as there is almost no shadow the whole place. There is a nice pedestrian walk along the coast. A place you must see if you travel around.

A beautiful scenic spot and the rocks are amazing. You have to take stairs down to the beach. One of small beaches have a lot seed weeds or algae (I’m not sure). But caves are very beautiful. It’s close to a large beach. Huge.

We paid €20 per person for a 40 min tour around the main caves. They only accept cash, so make sure you bring it with you, otherwise you will need to walk upstairs again. The only annoying thing is the guy smoking around that beautiful nature and we could find some cigarette butts around, which is really sad.

Beautiful views of the cliffs and the sea stacks. There's a nice wooden boardwalk but do get off it for better views. Unfortunately there were no boat tours available due to rough seas.

Near a restaurant that has a path down to many steps to a small platform at the sea where you can rent a boat for $20€ per person for 30 minutes to take you into the caves, but make sure you go when the water is calm. Note, there is no beach, but if you access another set of stairs, it will take you to the nearby beaches. Absolutely gorgeous views and natural arches.

Such an amazing place! Take one of the trails or go down the main path to the water where the boats stop. Beware of the steps - what goes down must come up 😂 - it maybe quite the undertaking going up those steps in a hot afternoon under the scorching sun! The landscape is beautiful, the rocks, the formations, the vivid colors of the place are so out of this world! Highly recommend you add it to your trip itinerary!

Great place. Great view. New walking path on wood being made. Is going to get even better. Signs for access to beaches are nice. Restaurant available at the end by the light house.

Beautiful hiking area overlooking the Praia. Parking area up top and restaurant overlooking the entrance stairs, which descend quite a way down to a small beach area. We preferred the views at the top to the crowded beach below. There are kayak s, paddle boards, etc to rent at the shore. 🤙

Great views, especially during sunset. The boardwalk leading to here (and further west) is a nice safe walk. If you were to walk out of the boardwalk to go further out, be careful! The land is dry and soft. Proceed with caution.

This area is fantastic, and it now has miles and miles of wooden walkways which makes walking along the cliff tops so much easier, there are also lots of purpose built view points which will enable you to take some fantastic scenery photos. Near the lighthouse is a walkway which lots and lots of stone steps which lead right down to the waters edge between all the beautiful stunning rocks which sit in the sea and are really stunning and photogenic. I personally think this area has some of the most beautiful scenery in the Algarve and is a Must to visit. There is lots of free parking close to the lighthouse and will give you a choice of different walks which you can go on along the various walkways.

This trail rewards visitor with stunning panoramic views of rich green, orange, and blue. Although there is a paved walkway and raised wooden paths, there are also well worn dirt paths that wind along cliffs and through nature. We opted for the natural trails but stayed a distance from the perilous cliff edges. Continuing to the end of the dirt path, there are steps leading down to a very private beach. This part is more challenging and could be dangerous during high season. We were fortunate to be lone travelers along this stretch. There are other beaches more accessible but, in my opinion, not quite as stunning. The private beach gave fresh perspective to the enormity of the cliffs above. This beach is pictured behind and beneath me in the third photo. The fourth photo features the stone staircase on arrival at the base of the cliff at the beach. This hike is entirely free and there are multiple paths to choose from starting at restaurant Monte Mar Lagos.

Great view! I'm sure it would be even more stunning on a sunny day. I love that there are so many hiking trails for hiking lovers to enjoy, as well as boardwalk for people who want to go easy. The fact that the parking lot is huge and so close to the viewpoints is a bonus. I highly recommend!

Nice but starting to look tatty

Loved the marina! It is a beautiful place to walk round, lots of restaurants, bars and shopping too. Walked right round to the beach as well which is beside the marina.

Nice place to walk after dinner, the boats scenic, hotels and restaurants/bars gives a sophisticated feeling.

We have been to Portugal a few times but never to the Marina in Vilamoura. A stunning Marina with boats only the super rich can afford. A good selection of bars and restaurants at reasonable prices.

Great place for holidays who loves SUN,BEACH & FUN must come to experience one the best taste of Algarve;Portugal:) Recommended strongly…

Beautiful, loads of nice hotels and restaurants/bars in the area.

Marina with plenty of boats. You have to be membership to go come closer to yahts.

Stunning marina with plenty of places to eat and drink on various budgets. Plenty of yachts there to see how the other half live.

Beautiful setting at all times of the day. Plenty of walking with fabulous scenery, shops, bars and restaurants along the Marina so you can continue to enjoy the views. Very clean, just a lovely place to visit.

A gorgeous place to spend a few hours at. Very clean with plenty of bars, restaurants, shops. Large boats and some fancy cars if you're lucky. The beach also isn't too far away to walk to either.

Lovely marina wigh amazing yachts in. Hit on lucky with our visit as there was a yacht exhibition in, so nice to see all the different yachts you could buy. Loads of restaurants and pubs situated all the way along the marina, which are all reasonable priced. Good place to spend a couple of hours walking around taking in the views

Such a gorgeous place! Great selection of restaurants. Favourite place in Algarve.

Fun and lively place; lots of restaurants, bars, gift shops, and live music. Plenty of spots for ice cream lovers. This area gets really busy in the summer evenings. But still exciting to explore. They have live music in some restaurants. There was live music on a stage by the beach. There is a spot where you can get a taxi. Tonight the line for that was extremely long. I also noticed plenty of places to do hookah. Highly recommend coming here during your stay.

Much nicer than the new town, lots to see and do and seeped in history. You will find the best fish restaurants here. Market stalls and gift shops galore. Very pretty area close to the marina where you can book lots of activities.

Visited here often during our week stay in April. It was nice to walk around both day and night, browsing the shops and soaking up the atmosphere. Plenty of places to shop and eat in the old town - however, slightly more expensive than local places not located here (to be expected). There was a nice 'buzz' and atmosphere every time we visited. We much preferred this to the new town and 'strip' area. Would recommend.

This place has it all ! Such charm, beauty, friendly people. You’re always only steps away from restaurants, shopping, groceries, liquor/ beer stores. Beach is very impressive. You can walk for miles and see awesome cliffs and caves. You’re minutes from Strip with nightlife and entertainment. Love this place!

We were staying at Vilamoura and travelled to Albuferia for a few hours. It is a beautiful town with so much to see and do. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the people we spoke to were warm and friendly. The only downside is the large number of British males who visit here for stag does and to get out of there head on alcohol. While I'm sure the town makes vast sums of money from from these sorts of tourists it does spoil the atmosphere.

Decent old town with good shops and a few local gems for food but this whole area of Albufeira has been ruined by British people either moving here or coming over in large crowds. Place is full of run down pubs/bars and places selling bland food. Portuguese government need to have a clear out of everyone here that isn't Portuguese. Nothing Portuguese or cultural about this sadly - not sure what the attraction is going from the home country to another location abroad which is just like home 😐

Brilliant blend of old and new. Restaurants galore. My suggestion is to go back a street from the main square and the prices go down without compromising on quality. Night life to suit all ages. My favourite is the Rock Cafe bar in the square. Live bands every night.

Albufeira is a very walkable city, from the marina to old town Albufeira, you’ll encounter beautiful views and small nice stores and restaurants. You can also take the Hop-on-Hop-off buses and get off on one of the five stops in or near the city center. Old town has a lot of stores and bars, like Central Station. We had lunch at Restaurant 54 which has a sea view just near the centre towards the marina. Depending on what you’re into, I am sure you’ll enjoy your time here.

We went into the old town for the day as we were up by the strip, which I didn't really enjoy. We had lunch in Flavours, by the beach, which was lovely. Then had a few cocktails and had tea in The Square. I loved the atmosphere so much more in the Old Town so if I was to go back I'd look for accommodation there. Live singing in the streets which was fab!!

Really loved it! Beautiful town. We went for a long weekend. There is crazy nightlife if you want it but equally if you just want a nice meal and a few drinks in the evening that's possible too. Beautiful beach. Will definitely be returning.

Nice place, good value for money, and miles of great beaches. Bit hilly so maybe consider that before travelling with kids or older people. Few stags and hens around, but most of that in down in the strip a few kms away.

Absolutely beautiful views, full of pretty streets, shops, restaurants and friendly people. Going to return for another visit before end of our holiday 🥰

Albuferia is a lovely coastal city with sandy beaches. A holiday destination with blue sky and the temperature to go with it. I would have loved if Albuferia kept or stamped the Portuguese identity in history, food, culture to the place. Disappointed to find that it was almost impossible to find anything Portuguese. The essence of travelling is to be open and experience different cultures, to learn about the host way of life, to broaden one's horizon. The food I had was void of any taste, bland, uninspiring. Ruined the evening. Period☹️ One positive was the octopus was succulent but tasteless. But if you want fish and chips, or an English breakfast or a pub "more of the same" this is your place. Warm, sandy beaches all good.🤣🤣

Nice walk, lots of shops and bars etc. Only 3 stars as it was very much the same same with almost every shop selling the same stuff. Other Old towns in Europe (Dubrovnik for eg) 100% more on offer. But that said, some nice restaurants, and beach to cool off in.

Lovely lively place, lots of little shops to get cute bits like jewellery, clothing and souvenirs. Great atmosphere in the evening with music and entertainment.

Many restaurants and bars. Nice seaview. There are some interesting historical remains, but unfortunately the government doesn't renovate enough, so many buildings are in a really bad shape.

I found Old Town super! The novelty shopping, the bars and restaurants, the tunnel onto the beach - all so super. Our family spent a lot of time in this long stretch of shops and restaurants. Night life is also great - noisy for those who don't like noise, but full of life and fun for those who do.

I came here with no knowledge, went away really pleased, people and atmosphere were great. Everyone is friendly. The old town is great. You have the night life this place is great for solo, couples and families. Feeling very safe, no one pressures you like other tourist places, I love and enjoyed the Algarve region An amazing short time guarantees a return.

Fantastic place , lovely people, great shops bars everything you need and a stones throw away from the beach. Recommend for everyone, young old single couple families , fantastic place and beautiful

Lots of bars, restaurants, music, and excitement. On a great beach. It’s got everything you need. The old cobblestone roads are beautiful and only for walking, no cars in this area. We really enjoyed our time there.

Lovely picturesque town. Good selection of bars, restaurants and cafes. Shops and goft shops too. Beautiful beach with over looking bars

Beautiful old town housing not only attractions but also many restaurants serving world cuisine. In evening the streets are busy with bars and music. On one side is a beach reachable through a tunnel. There are hundreds of the accommodations. Whole day it is busy with tourists.

The Old town I found more peaceful 🙌🏼 less crowds, bars and clubs. In December perfect 👍 the beach was also quiet enough. Plenty of bars and restaurants around but again more chill and calm in the old town. Beautiful areas and little vintage spots. Up further into the old town there was plenty of Christmas stalls, small little ice rink and plenty of little quirky shops. In around the old town in the middle the shops are more expensive than the ones outside the main attraction spots. Overall hands down …. Old town was definitely for me, especially if your not a drinker 🙌🏼

Nice little town with lost of tourist shops. Got some nice dresses but expensive for what they really are, could get way cheaper in India lol, a couple of restaurants on the beach front and nice sand leading to a cold sea this time of year, lots of waves so you have to be careful.

The beach at Old Town is lovely! There are loads of options for food. The market was OK but not much variety between vendors, so once you've seen a few shops, you've seem most of what's on offer. Nightlife seems good. We went on a Tuesday and it was relatively quiet but enough people round to have a dance and some fun. Would have liked to go on a weekend to compare but didn't have time. The live music was great! I loved Nuno Ness and the band at Vegas Bar.

A great town to explore but good shoes are essential not my 6 inc & 5 inc platforms "duh" and the cobbled streets can be slightly slippery if wet. But that said its a great arry of mixed shops and dinning, and architecture. With hidden places that open to glorious wonderful vistas. You just couldn't know everything in 10 days, I barely scratched the surface. And the legalisation of recreation cannabis is subtle and very controlled funnily enough, my friend visited the stores. Great art work there.
