Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Algarve, Portugal
The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former Moorish capital Silves and fascinating Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from Praia da Luz to Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.

Boat trip is the best way to explore the very beautiful Atlantic coastline in Lagos - very beautiful caves and grottos reflected in transparent emerald water versus terracotta cliffs. Highly recommended as a trip - the guides are very friendly and happy to tell the story of the place

Great facility and teaching aids. Thoroughly enjoyed the short game "boot camp", Neil's teaching methods are simple and straightforward, and produce immediate results! Would have liked to have hit more balls during and after the session to help cement some of the immediate take aways though.

We drove to the summit of Foia to appreciate the views which were stunning. It was very windy there that day so I was a bit wary of going to near the edge.

Never been to the Algarve, never been to Vilamoura. Only new it for Marina, golf & where footballers of the 80/90s hung out! So pleasantly surprised to find one of the best kept archeological sites we have visited, and we have visited a few! ( just ask the kids????) For only €3 per person you are given free range to walk around the dig site & small museum. The Roman bath unearthed is probably the best seen outside of Bath in terms of not being a pile of stones!!

A long and beautiful beach flanked by spectacular cliffs, it sure makes for a great walk...at the end (or the beginning, depending on your starting point) there's also a viewpoint, accessible by wooden steps, simply amazing!

Have been coming to Luz for 15 years and never tire of it. The beach is great for children and adults alike, water sports hire etc. There are plenty of restaurants and cafe's which make Luz an all round great holiday destination. Can't wait to be back there.
9. Museu de Portimao

Reviewed By philsO1099NR
Set in a former sardine processing factory, the museum is divided into two areas. One half tells the history of Portimao from prehistory to modern times. The other half explains the processes involved in the sardine canning industry, using the actual equipment and location where it all happened. English captions throughout, and good use of video to make production stages clear. Also houses temporary display space, and good cafe/restaurant. Check out the joint ticket arrangements with other local historical sites, and note that there is free entrance on Sundays.
10. Ilha da Culatra

Reviewed By sjbarter - Northampton, United Kingdom
This is a wonderful day out. Park along the front by the market that is also worth visiting. Buy a return ticket to Farol on the island for just over 4 Euros. Get off at Culatra stop after a 30 minute attractive trip across the lagoon then walk through the village across the boardwalk to the beach. You can then walk through the surf for an hour on the beautiful beach towards the lighthouse where there is a chilled out beach bar called Maramais with great views over the beach. Here there are great drinks and snacks - the sandwiches are huge. You can hire sun beds if you wish. Then a ten minute walk down to the jetty and a lovely boat trip back. The 11am out to Culatra and the 4pm back from Farol runs all year. See timetable in photos.
