Top Algarve Attractions & Museums

Prebook your SAND CITY FIESA admission ticket, and guarantee your visit to one of the world’s largest sand sculpture events. You can choose from a variety of dates to find what best fits your schedule, and once you’re at the event, you can explore at your own pace.

Skip the busy beaches and enjoy a family-friendly day exploring Lagos Zoo. See exotic birds, monkeys, reptiles, and more, while learning about the zoo’s conservation, education, and protection initiatives. Purchase tickets ahead of time to avoid disappointment, with under 3s admitted for free, and visit at a time of day that suits your schedule.

Meet Faro in a completely new way: during 60min you will go on a tour through 4 rooms where the senses are elevated. Without sight, let yourself absorb in the environment around you with the support of a blind Guide and a cane. Feel the intense aromas, explore interesting textures, listen to the details of everyday life unfolding. We encourage you to embrace inspiring daily reality of your Guide, ending the challenge with a relaxing drink at the bar in the dark, where you can share your impressions and ask questions, break taboos and expand horizons. The promise is simple: completed the experience, your vision of the World, and of yourself, will not be the same. You will be a more conscious person, more connected to your senses, and more prepared for the difference. Whether you’re an adventurer on a solo trip, a group of friends on vacation or a family on a trip, this is the ideal experience for those who want to expand their horizons, live strong emotions and make a difference in the World.

Swap the beach crowds of the Algarve for the Parque da Mina, a five-hectare heritage park tucked into the hills near the Caldas de Monchique thermal village. Meet farm animals, explore an 18th-century museum, walk suspension bridges over a waterfall, and step inside a decommissioned ore mine—all at your own pace, without the rush of a group.
