Albufeira is one of the most popular destinations in the Algarve, offering a beautiful coastline, lots of activities and a vibrant nightlife. Less well known for its history, Albufeira nevertheless has many charming and interesting historical spots to discover.

From October 2026 to June 2027, Albufeira Municipality offers free guided walks of the historical old town. In Portuguese and English, these walks are a great way for visitors to learn more about the town's history and to gain a different appreciation for what it offers today.
