DISCOVER PORTIMÃO: WHAT TO VISIT, DO, WHERE TO EAT AND SLEEP

ALGARVE ALL YEAR ROUND. WELCOME TO PORTIMÃO, A MUNICIPALITY FULL OF UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES.

In southern Portugal there is a land blessed by the natural beauty and by an extraordinary weather. One of the largest and most popular municipalities of the Algarve, Portimão hosts the most amazing natural settings: vast golden sandy beaches, surrounded by crystalline emerald-green waters, under a deep blue sky, invite you to rest and to walk on foot, in the pedestrian walks that connect us to the nature, or smaller and rocky beaches that provide recollection and interior peace.

In the cultural and gastronomic heritage there are stories of fishermen and its work, as well as those who worked in the processing, in the canning industry. All these factors have inspired the pulse of this municipality in a new blend that is being redrawn to offer more and better to the visitors.
