Town guide
Historic walls, golden grottoes and some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Lagos is the heart of the western Algarve.
Lagos combines a walkable old town with dramatic coastline. Ponta da Piedade's sea stacks and grottoes are minutes away, and beaches range from small coves like Praia do Camilo and Dona Ana to the long sweep of Meia Praia.
Take a boat, kayak or paddleboard trip to the grottoes, walk the clifftops at sunset, learn to surf on the nearby west coast, and finish with a drink on one of the old town's rooftop bars.
