Welcome to Albufeira...

The bustling city of Albufeira is considered as one of the top tourist destinations in the European country of Portugal attracting millions of visitors and tourists annually who flock to this popular coastal resort town to enjoy time off on Albufeira's numerous beautiful beaches as well as to bask in the warm sunny weather the city is well known for.

The tourist facilities in Albufeira are truly world class, from the types of accommodation which include luxury resorts and holiday villas along with international hotel chains for the rich, middle class apartment complexes as well as a collection of cheap hotels in Portugal and budget hostels which make it attractive for people who are on a budget while on their holidays.


As the 'Tourist Capital' of Portugal, Albufeira is a favourite destination for many, because of its wide variety of attractions, including the great nightlife, the stunning beaches, the exhilarating water sports, golf courses, glorious landscape and of course, the wonderful local cuisine.

The 'Old Town' is a lovely place to stroll around, either in the morning when it's quiet, or in the evening when it truly comes to life. There are dozens of pavement cafes to be found on its cobbled paths, where you can watch the street musicians and buskers, with a huge choice of restaurants and shops which cater for all tastes and budgets.

Another popular area, better known by tourists as 'The Strip' - promises a lively night out with a great atmosphere, and is also a great place to shop for souvenirs by day.  The Strip stretches from Montechoro Hotel heading straight down towards Oura Beach in the south - yet another jewel in the crown of the city...

With more than 3000 hours of sunshine per year, its colourful landscape and the friendly charm of it's people, it is little wonder that many people flock to the area to enjoy a long weekend, or indeed, a lifetime!
