About Lagos

Lagos is a captivating coastal destination in the Algarve, offering sunshine, golden sands, and a charming old town. Its atmospheric 16th-century cobbled streets are lined with pretty churches, while the best places to stay in Lagos are within easy reach of the town's many attractions. Small enough to explore on foot, Lagos has an appealing buzz, with a well-deserved reputation for excellent restaurants and lively nightlife.

Cultural experiences abound here too, from the intriguing Bone Chapel in the Church of St. Sebastian to the Centro Cultural de Lagos, where evening entertainment includes street performances and regional cuisine. Explore the zoo, take the whole family out horse riding, or visit the Church of St. Anthony, which boasts beautiful gold-leaf interiors and a small museum.

Venture along the coast to amble along the four kilometres of golden sands at Meia Praia, or to discover the caves which frame secluded Paria do Camilo. Boat trips also come highly recommended, with striking ocean caves to visit near Ponta da Piedade. Put your feet up at one of the best places to stay in Lagos after a brilliant day of adventure — sundowners and spa treatments await.
