About Portimao

Portimao is the largest city in the Western Algarve, with a rich cultural and industrial heritage. From its origins as a small fishing village during Roman times, by the 16th Century, it was a thriving port town that needed defending from pirates with fortresses on either side of the estuary. Although these fortresses can be seen today, many other historic and religious buildings were devasted by the earthquake and tsunami in 1755.

By the 19th Century, Portimao was once again a prosperous city, with a thriving fish canning and processing industry, as well as shipbuilding. At this time, most of the city’s inhabitants worked in these industries, some as young as 14.

Today, the port still plays an important role in the city’s economy and there are some great boat trips that you can take across the estuary to Ferragudo or even upriver to Silves. To learn more about the city’s fishing history, the Portimao Museum has some fascinating displays and you can also visit an artisanal cannery in nearby Parchal.

Taking a few steps back from the beautiful promenade, you can explore the narrow, cobbled streets of the old quarter, with some quirky craft shops and plenty of interesting local eateries. If you enjoy people watching, there are some lovely cafes in the city’s main plazas. Or, just part the port is the modern, colourful marina with neighbouring Praia da Rocha that boasts one of the longest sandy beaches in the Algarve.

Accessible Portimao

This Adventure Hunt in Portimao was designed with accessibility in mind. Utilising the Accessible Route means it is easier for those using wheelchairs, pushchairs, or with reduced mobility to enjoy the Adventure Hunt and a visit round Portimao. There are a few small sections of the hunt that do leave the Accessible Route but these have been kept to a minimum. This includes the smooth incline up to the main square, travelling down one cobbled lane, and crossing a few cobbled sections to rejoin the route. There is also no time limit or race against the clock to complete your Adventure Hunt. This allows people to take as many breaks as required and we encourage people to do so to enjoy the lovely surrounding that the Adventure Hunt is set in.

Cruise stopover in Portimao

With the starting point of the Adventure Hunt being only 500 metres from the cruise terminal, it’s also an ideal shore excursion for cruise passengers. Start whenever you like (no advance booking is required), take as long as you like – stopping for coffee, lunch, or a visit to the museum along the way – and then head back to the terminal in plenty of time for dinner on board the ship.  Have fun solving puzzles with your family or partner or challenge some fellow cruise passengers to a competitive Hunt. It’s a unique and fun alternative to a more traditional guided city tour and a great way to see both the highlights and the ‘hidden gems’ of the city.
