What to see in Vilamoura and Albufeira
1- Vilamoura Marina is a must!
Visit during the day, stroll around the designer shops and the stalls. Treat yourself to snacks or meals at the waterside cafes and restaurants.
You can hire a bicycle and cycle your way around, or simply sit there and do a bit of people watching, it’s a common thing to do.
Don’t miss out on the night scenery along the marina, it’s both romantic and enchanting. You should try it even if you are on a solo trip.
2- Head to the beach at either destination, because the more beaches in life the better (or at least that’s how I feel).
3- Visit the Roman ruins
Vilamoura has an archeological site that will take you back 5000 years, with both an indoor and outdoor museum.
You can check opening times and ticket information here.
4- Water sports and excursions.
You can get pretty much anything; parasailing, a 3-hour boat trip in Benagil caves, Dolphin watching, snorkeling, kayaking, or a full-day private yacht charter tour.
5- Hit the golf courses
Both Vilamoura and Albufeira are renowned for their golf courses and resorts. The favorable climate, and being mostly located in unspoiled areas with stunning views, making this a paradise for golfers from all over the world.
