Best of Albufeira
The Portuguese city of Albufeira is coastally located in the municipality of the same name. Albufeira holidays are accented by the fantastic beaches of Praia dos Pescadores and Praia do Tunel that stretches along Portugal’s southern coast. The city is located in the Algarve region, which is famous for having perfect Mediterranean weather. Water sports are a popular choice when visiting the beaches at Albufeira, including jet-skiing, kayaking, parasailing, and more. Fisherman’s Beach is located in the Old Town part of the city and is one of the most famous locales in the city. Fishing boats still visit the port every morning while restaurants, bars, and shops line the beach side of the port. The Castelo de Almoada is a popular stop in the city. This 12th century Moorish castle is free to visit. Visiting Albufeira warrants a stop along “The Strip,” which is a stretch of road that is home to many bars, cafes, and clubs. Architecture lovers will enjoy wonderful churches, including Capela da Misericorida, Igreja de Sant’Ana, and Igreja de Sao Sebastiao. Historical sites abound in Albufeira, with the ruins of the castle wall, the military battery of the 16th century, and the Arch of the Old Church Street that was an arch to an Arabic mosque. Albufeira is home to three wonderful golf courses: Salgados Golf, PineCliffs Sheraton, and Balaia Golf Village. All of these courses are centrally located to the Algarve, making them fantastic choices for travelers, though there are even more golfing choices in nearby Villamoura to add to the region's arsenal of world-class golfing. Car hire in Albufeira is a great choice to allow the freedom of seeing the main sites on your own schedule. Budget car hire is available in the airport to accommodate air travel passengers who would like to rent a car during their holiday.Best Of Albufeira
