For over four decades, visitors from all over the world have flocked to the Algarve beaches in search of sun, fun and adventure. Golf courses, marinas, lush sands and coves are all dotted around the shore, while historic towns offer you chances to immerse yourself in the Algarve resorts' local culture.

Towards the coast, water sports are a big deal, particularly around Lagos where kitesurfing and water-skiing are popular with everyone. In Vilamoura, why not take a sailing lesson before hitting the swanky shops, bars and clubs along the sands? Or if surfing is more your thing, then head to Sagres for one of the best spots.

The biggest city of the Algarve resorts is Faro, which has a charming Old Town district. The city’s cathedral and museums are among its highlights, while it’s also a good place to shop. History buffs will enjoy exploring the various kinds of exhibits around this visually pleasing Portuguese part.
