The Algarve, take it easy!

The Algarve is so beautiful that we won’t blame you for wanting to take your time and fully savor the delights of Portugal. On this nine-day trip, you’ll be able to fully appreciate the endless beaches and the charm of the region’s historic towns, thanks to an itinerary centered around four stopover towns.

Are you blown away by Faro’s historic district and its Roman walls? Take a day off to explore it from top to bottom. Did a surfer from Portimão catch your eye? Spend the day on the magnificent Praia da Rocha beach watching these athletes ride the waves. Add a few free hours in Lisbon to round out the trip, and you’ve got an exciting itinerary where you can choose the pace and intensity.
