Description:

Explore the charming historical town of Lagos and the picturesque fishing village of Sagres in this half-day tour from the Algarve. Discover museums, chapels, and charming coastal scenery as your guide tells you all about the history of these fascinating towns.

Head towards the Western Algarve and pass by long stretches of charming white sandy beaches until you reach the stunning waterfront scenery that defines the coastal village of Lagos. Lagos is not only popular for its tourist-attentive beaches, bars, and restaurants, but it was also a center of the country's historic Age of Discovery.

See the statue of Henry the Navigator, who left Lagos in 1415 to mark the start of Portuguese maritime explorey, and listen as your guide explains how the village used to be a center for the European slave trade. Visit the Antonine Museum within the 18th-century Church of St. Anthony and uncover its historical local relics that date back to Roman times.

Next, it's time to head west for a stop at Ponta da Piedade to admire the magnificent rock towers rising from the ocean. Continue to the fishing village of Sagres, explore its town center, and don't miss its enchanting harbor for a perfect postcard photo.
