More Information

Explore one of the Algarve’s most beautiful and liveliest historic towns. Follow the 2km trail along the ancient city walls, through the bustling streets of the old town and around the harbourfront. Using the Adventure Hunt App (available on both Android and iPhone) to guide you, find landmarks, solve puzzles – with helpful hints if you get stuck - and uncover ‘fun facts’ along the way.

It’s a loop walk (with 20 puzzles) starting and ending near the Centro Cultural in the old town. Parking is available on the waterfront nearby, as are the bus stops, and the train station is a 20-minute walk away.

Highlights

- independent boutique shops and galleries in the old town
- traditional Portuguese restaurants mixed with trendy, upscale eateries
- historic buildings relating to Portugal’s ‘Age of Discovery’
- shady squares surrounded by traditional tiled townhouses

There are plenty of interesting places to stop along the route including Ponta da Bandeira fortress, the Castelo dos Governadores ancient walls, and the slave trade museum. Take a break in one of the town’s shady squares and listen to live music or grab a seat at one of the bars overlooking Praia da Batata (potato beach) and watch the kayakers. If you want to combine the Adventure Hunt with other activities, you could take a boat trip to see dolphins or sea caves, follow the clifftop boardwalk to the stunning Ponta da Piedade headland, or spend a lazy afternoon on Maia Praia’s 5km sandy beach.

We also have an Adventure Hunt that focuses on the street art in Lagos. Click here for more information.
