4 Days in the Algarve: Where to Go?
Our take
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the Algarve! With your trip just around the corner, it’s time to explore this stunning region of Portugal. As you and your friend embark on this journey from Lisbon to Faro, you'll want to soak up the sun on beautiful beaches while enjoying vibrant nightlife. Discover the best areas that are less touristy yet walkable, ensuring you make the most of your five nights.
I have a trip booked for almost 3 weeks, starting end of May and ending in Faro, Portugal early/mid June. Travelling with my friend, 21F, and we are wondering where to go in the Algarve region of Portugal. We leave from Lisbon, and we're thinking of taking the train down to to the Algarve, spending 5 nights there (arriving in the evening the first night), and then leaving out of Faro to head home. We want to end our trip with some fun, so good night life and spending the days at the beaches there. I am wondering which areas are walkable to both of these options, and hopefully a bit less touristy. Should we stay in one spot for the 5 nights or do 2-3 nights in two different areas along the way from Lisbon to Faro? Looking for any low-cost recs to make the most of our time there!

- Advice on stops between Lisbon to AlgarveHi all, I have the front and back end of my Portugal itinerary down, pasted below. I am torn on what to do in middle, namely on day 5 and 6. As you can see below my initial plan was to take the scenic route and stop in Alentejo region for two days/1 night. I've considered 1) making day 5 a Cascais day trip and just driving straight to Algarve on day 6 using the highway. or 2) making day 4 a day trip to Cascais, then day 5-6 an overnight in Sintra, then straight to Algarve. Other stops i've considered are Evora, though a little out of the way. Would love insight from anyone whos done a similar trip. With the four days in the Algarve, I'm interested in any suggestions that would bring diversity to the itinerary. ie Porto Covo feeling the same as Lagos would be helpful to know. Day 1 - arrive LIS 4:40pm Day 2 - explore Lisbon Day 3- more Lisbon Day 4 - Sintra day trip Day 5 - was going to drive Lisbon to Alentejo, stop overnight in Porto Covo Day 6 - Porto Covo daytime to Algarve Day 7- Algarve (lagos or carvoeiro) Day 8 - Algarve (Seven Hanging Valleys Trail hike) Day 9 - Algarve (SUP Bengali caves) Day 10- Algarve (another town) Day 11- check out, fly to next destination (London) I would say my partner and I love to do something active each day followed by some chill beach time. We come from a beach town so its not entirely novel to use, but do love a quintessential eruo summer vibe. Good food is always appreciated, but we dont really drink. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/hawaii210 [link] [comments]
- Itenary reviewHey! We are a 28 year old couple planning to visit Portugal in end of May . We are planning to rent a car for the entire duration of the trip. We are planning to do 4 nights Lisbon 2 nights Lagos 2 nights albuferia and 4 nights Marbella. We will be landing in Lisbon and even our departure airport will be the same and we plan to drive from Portugal to Spain and back. A little something about us - we love beaches, partying, trying Michelin restaurants , just walking around the town exploring and relaxing. We aren’t into history or museums or anything historic at all. Would love some suggestions about the itenary or anything in general as well. Thank you submitted by /u/Any-Cancel6742 [link] [comments]

- Visiting Portugal for the first time - any tips?Hi all! Me my partner and our 2 kids (9 and 12 years old) will be visiting Portugal from the 29th of April to the 6th of May. We have only booked flight tickets to fly in to Faro and fly out from Porto. The idea is to rent a car and cross the country, then fly out of Porto while crossing the country. We would like to spend at least one day surfing, thinking of the area around Ericeira, as we re all beginners, have surfed mainly in mediterranean and north sea. Also we prefer more low key, traditional towns and villages and nature rather than touristic areas. I think it would also be nice to see Lisbon. One idea was to do part of the N2 as I am reading it is a nice route to follow. But looking for some advice from you lovely people as well, what are places that you would say we shouldn't miss, what to avoid, areas you recommend we should stay over, things to try or anything else that comes to your mind? Thanks! submitted by /u/dark_dragonfly [link] [comments]
