Best cities to visit in Algarve

  • Vilamoura: A trendy and sophisticated part of the Algarve, staying in Vilamoura gives you access to not only an active little town, but also stunning sandy beaches. With great accommodation options, you are surrounded by enough hustle-and-bustle to eat, drink and be merry whilst being able to slip away and relax in the sun, enjoy nature or catch a round of golf at the local course.
  • Lagos: With cliffs, caves and rockier coastlines surrounding this town, Lagos is a natural scenic wonder. With a lively town filled with markets, shops, restaurants and bars, you can be guaranteed a great day or evening out. With four beaches to choose from in Lagos, each are surrounded by cliffs, yet sandy, pristine and idyllic.
  • Aljezur: A haven for nature lovers, the rugged coastal area of Aljezur is a laid-back, charming spot to stay. Based inside the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, its ecosystem and environment are under protection. Take in the scenery, go surfing or laze about the spectacular beachfronts by day while you sample fresh fish at the local restaurants at night. Away from the crowds and highly recommended.

Algarve car hire

Take in the wonders of one of the world’s most beloved coastal regions with your own car hire in Algarve. This Portuguese region is known for long seaside roads as well as bustling towns such as Lagos, Tavira and Carvoeiro, making car hire a great way to get around. SIXT has branches at the airport and in the town centre with English-speaking staff waiting to put together an affordable deal for you. Flexible working hours and a 24/7 drop off make car hire in Algarve convenient and easy. The terrain is friendly for most categories of cars, but you would certainly benefit from the wind in your hair in a sporty convertible as you enjoy the coast lines, or a 4x4 with great leg room for larger parties.
