There are plenty of things to do in Albufeira suited for different ages and interests. Here are some of the places we enjoyed visiting during our stay:

PLACES TO VISIT

Old Town Albufeira & Praia dos Pescadores:

The Old Town of Albufeira is the most historical part of the town. It's wedged between Fisherman's Beach and the marina, meaning it's very much in the thick of things.

There are plenty of bars and restaurants to sit down for a rest and a cold drink. There are also a lot of beautiful viewpoints with beach views from the top of the cliff. The most popular viewpoint is Miradouro do Pau de Bandeira, located on top of the escalators in Barrio do Pescadores, which offers a stunning view of Albufeira's Old Town and its beaches.

Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha

This is another beautiful beach, (aka Beach of Our Lady of the Rock), located near Lagoa and is a 30 minutes drive from Albufeira Old Town. This is an iconic Algarve venue with a striking promontory and a beautiful old chapel on the top.

NIGHT LIFE

Montechoro Strip or Albufeira Strip:

The Montechoro Strip is the liveliest part of Albuferia, which is about 30 minutes walk from the Old Town area, but you can easily Uber around. Aim for Avenida Sa Carneiro, which is the official name of this district.

Old Town Albufeira:

At night, the streets in the old town come alive and people party till morning. Most bars and clubs are located in Av da Liberdade. Some bar owners may also offer you amazing complimentary shots! If you venture to the side streets, you can discover charming Algarvian bistros and jazz clubs.

Quarteria:

The district of Quarteria is actually closer to the nearby resort of Vilamoura, but it's a hot spot for partygoers in Albufeira looking for clubs such as Discoteca Lick and BLISS.

NOTABLE TOWNS TO VISIT IN ALGARVE

If you feel like visiting other towns in Algarve, we recommend checking out the following cities:

Faro:

Faro is one of the best cities in the Algarve to visit, especially for its history. With its museums, cute little shops, the Cathedral of Santa Maria and Roman and Moorish walls, there are plenty of things to do there. The city has a beautiful and picturesque ornate city gate, Arco da Vila, with a lovely neighborhood around it which is worth visiting.

TAVIRA:

Tavira is one of the cutest cities in Algarve, covered with white-walled buildings and cobblestoned streets. The city has a mixed heritage of Roman, Arabic and Christian architecture and is home to castle ruins, a Roman bridge and other historical buildings. The city is built along both sides of the river Gilão Tavira and is a bit less crowded than some of the more popular parts of the region. The local restaurants and impressive architecture definitely make Tavira worthy of a visit!
