Historical Tour of the Algarve
If you’re staying at one of our Pousadas in the Algarve and only have time to do one trip – this full day tour is perfect for those who are history buffs. The tour takes up the whole day and involves visiting different places and discovering the history and culture of the Algarve.
You’ll visit Silves – a historical city which dates back to the Bronze Age. Here you will be fascinated by the Moorish Castle and Gothic cathedral. The next stop takes you to Lagos, the previous home of Prince Henry the Navigator and the slave market. The fishing village of Sagres is last on the tour, where you will visit the lighthouse of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.
It gets you out of the hotel for a day, and lunch is usually included!
Bird Watching in the Waters of Ria Formosa
Love bird watching or find it fascinating? Whilst in Portugal, you can spend the day bird watching whilst enjoying the beautiful waters of Ria Formosa. In what is considered as being a bird watcher’s paradise, your trip will involve taking a trip through the magnificent wetlands to spot birds such as the White Stork and the Spoonbill. It gives you the chance to get up close to these stunning birds, without actually disturbing or distracting them.
You’ll have the guidance of a nature specialist throughout the boat tour, who will make sure that you don’t miss out on seeing anything important!
Go Golfing
With a sunny climate all year round, Portugal is the perfect place to practice your golfing skills. With top quality courses all around the country, it’s not surprising that golf is one of the number one holiday activities. It’s a brilliant group activity – and no one needs to be a pro!
Vilamoura is the perfect place to visit, as it offers some fantastic championship courses. The Algarve has previously been referred to as one of the leading golfing destinations in the world, and with 39 courses to choose from – there is something to suit all abilities.
So there you have it, these are just three of our best picks for things to do in Portugal – and there is so much more!
