Family Algarve

3 days

“The Algarve is an ideal destination for family holidays, not only for its long sandy beaches and calm waters but for the many activities that can be carried out in the region. Here it is easy to please kids and adults alike, both in summer and at other times of the year. The possible combinations are many. Follow our proposals or build one to suit you.

In Lagos, visit the Centro de Ciência Viva and its exhibitions. It is a space for scientific and technological dissemination with diverse activity proposals that will please the whole family. Also visit the city, which is closely linked to the history of Portuguese expansion throughout the world. Among the various points of interest, you will find the Slavery Route Museum Center, the Boas Esperança Caravela, usually anchored in the Lagos marina and the Discoveries Wax Museum, which allows you to revisit history in a didactic and fun way.

On Salema beach, Vila do Bispo, observe the footprints of bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs that populated this region 140 million years ago and are visible on the rocks located to the east. Back in Lagos, head to the Zoological Park, an educational and conservation space that has support equipment such as playgrounds and a snack bar and also presents various educational activities. There you can see chimpanzees, bobcats, meerkats, scarlet ibis and black-necked swans, to name just a few of the animals that live there, among the various species of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish.

In Portimão, travel back in time at the city’s museum, located in an old fish canning factory, on the riverfront. It is one of the most awarded museums both nationally and internationally, which gives you an insight into the history of local communities, Portimão’s canning industrial past and the seabed, with underwater images of the Arade River and the coastline. Then, head inland to the Kartódromo Internacional do Algarve for a challenging driving experience and perhaps a race between family members. There are programs aimed at adults and children with guaranteed fun.”
