With its captivating beauty, fascinating history and lively atmosphere, Lagos is a destination that will leave you spellbound.

Faro, a coastal gem nestled in the Algarve region of Portugal, enchants visitors with its blend of history, natural beauty and vibrant culture. Steeped in a rich heritage, the historic city centre beckons with its charming cobbled streets, ancient walls and architectural gems such as Faro Cathedral. With a thriving arts scene, delectable cuisine and a warm Mediterranean climate, Faro embodies the essence of a perfect retreat and invites travellers to immerse themselves in its authentic charm.
If you're staying your first and last night in Faro, it's best to take an Uber to the centre, which is cheap and convenient. An alternative is public transport (line 16, about 20 min).
Faro Cathedral, located in the heart of this Portuguese city, is a captivating testament to Faro's rich history and architectural heritage. Also known as the Sé de Faro, this beautiful cathedral is a symbol of religious devotion and cultural significance. As you approach the cathedral, its imposing façade with intricate carvings and remarkable bell tower catches the eye. Step inside and you are greeted by a serene and awe-inspiring interior decorated with intricate artwork, vaulted ceilings and ornate details. The cathedral's chapels house a collection of religious artifacts and treasures, offering visitors a glimpse into Faro's religious heritage. Ascend to the rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the city, where you can admire the stunning architecture while taking in the surrounding landscape.
Capela dos Ossos, also known as the Chapel of the Bones, is a fascinating and somewhat terrifying attraction located in the Nossa Senhora do Carmo church in Faro, Portugal. Enter this small chapel and you will find yourself surrounded by the remains of approximately 1,200 human skeletons, carefully arranged to create a grim and evocative atmosphere. The walls and columns are decorated with skulls and bones, serving as a powerful reminder of the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death. Despite its eerie appearance, the Capela dos Ossos is a place for contemplation and reflection, inviting visitors to reflect on the fragility and preciousness of human existence. It is a unique and interesting place that offers a glimpse into the history of the Faro and the customs and beliefs of its former inhabitants.
If you are travelling immediately upon arrival in Lagos, you will need to transfer to the train station. This is located a short walk from the airport. You can even walk to the station, or you can use public transport (line 16, about 20 minutes) or a cheap Uber.
🚝 It takes 1:46 hours to get directly from Faro to Lagos by train
Accommodation for the first and last night will be based on the flight. If arriving in the evening (or departing in the morning afterwards), accommodation in Faro will also be provided.
The popular Portuguese town of Lagos is surrounded by beautiful beaches under impressive cliffs. But the town itself offers great walks along the promenade, delicious food (both seafood and ice cream, as well as the famous Portuguese dessert Pastel de Nata in all its forms) and a bit of history - the Church of Santa María, the Church of Sao António, the town hall on Praça de Gil Eannes, the 16th century walls and the 17th century Forte da Ponta da Bandeira.
Great walk through the cliffs of Lagos to the Ponte de Piedado lighthouse. Take sturdy shoes if you don't want to walk on the road but on the cliffs. At the same time, there are several options along the way for port, Sangria or great seafood. There are also great beaches between the cliffs.
The Benagil Caves are a natural wonder that captivates visitors from all over the world. These magnificent sea caves are famous for their unique rock formations, crystal clear water and a hidden beach located in the largest cave. The highlight of the Benagil Caves is the breathtaking ceiling opening that allows sunlight to stream in, creating a fascinating play of light and shadow.
If you want to get to the famous Benagil Caves of Lagos, you have several options. One popular alternative is to join a guided boat tour leaving from the Lagos port. These trips usually include a scenic coastal cruise that allows you to admire the amazing cliffs and rock formations along the way. The boat will then dock near the Benagil Caves, giving you the opportunity to explore them up close. Another option is to rent a kayak or paddleboard in Lagos and head to the caves at your own pace (approximately 10km). This allows for a more adventurous experience and a chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the coastline. Alternatively, you can hire a taxi or use a carpool service to get to Benagil by land. Keep in mind that parking near the caves may be limited, so it is advisable to arrive early.
The day before departure is ideal for a last swim, a great lunch or buying souvenirs - for example, typical cork products.
