Looking for an Iberian adventure - well, you have it! Lagos Portugal, located at the mouth of the Bensafrim River and along the Atlantic Ocean, Lagos is part of the ‘Algarve’ region located in Southern Portugal. Faro airport to the East of the city is the closest city with major connections throughout Europe and around 50 miles from the city.
Lagos, Portugal (not to be confused with Nigeria’s largest city) is an exciting resort town that welcomes millions of tourists every year to its gorgeous beaches, year-round great climate, fabulous food, unbelievably friendly and warm locals, and a location that’s hard to beat. Explore the steep wooden steps that are well worth the pursuit, as you’re rewarded with the sandy cove of Praia do Camilo. The city hosts an 18th-century church which is a must-see, the Castelo dos Governadores (Governers Castle), and more beaches than you’ll know what to do with.
Get your rental motorcycle or scooter and take the long motorway along golden, sun-kissed beaches and go further out of the city to explore Lisbon (100 miles away), or if you’re feeling really adventurous, it’s 150 miles to Seville in Spain or 200 miles to Tangier, Morocco! But Lagos on a scooter rental offers you endless days of awesome weather, blue skies, and a treasure chest of local stores, eateries, bars, beaches, and that world-famous Portuguese hospitality. Most locals speak English but attempt the odd ‘Bom Dia’ and ‘Muito Obrigado’ and you’ll melt their hearts.
Go dolphin watching, explore the marina and take in a host of water sports for the more adventurous.
