Discover Portugal's Algarve

Nestled along Algarve’s eastern shores this river town has it all. With its cobbled streets, ancient bridges, and cascading bougainvillea, Tavira feels like a page from a storybook, inviting you to uncover one of its tales. As you wander through the town, the Rio Gilão will accompany you gently. Its serene waters reflecting the sun-kissed hues of the buildings. The Roman bridge, a testament to Tavira’s ancient roots, arches gracefully over the river, silently watching the town. Tavira’s skyline is a sea of traditional terracotta rooftops, interrupted only by the elegant spires of churches. The town boasts an abundance of these historic sanctuaries, each with its own story.

A city often regarded as solely a stopover, Faro has retained its traditional Portuguese charm and is a destination worth visiting in its own right. With green parks, a well-preserved historic old town, and a pretty riverside promenade lined with seafood restaurants, cafes and bars as well as ancient monuments, Faro has something for everyone. Outside of the city lie some of the Algarve’s best beaches and islands, as well as the stunning Rio Formosa Natural Park and its diverse fauna and flora.
