Top Lagos Attractions & Museums

The Benagil caves are not to be missed when visiting the Algarve. This unique seaside cave is a popular spot for photos because of the hole in its roof as well as its expansiveness. Depart Lagos on a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) and sail past Alvor, Portimao, and Carvoeiro on your way to the caves, while you admire the Portuguese coastline.

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.

Glide through the waters of the Atlantic alongside wild dolphins on this top-rated “Seafari” cruise from Lagos. The nimble, rigid-hull inflatable raft lets you get closer to the action for a front-row seat as dolphins swim like torpedoes and jump through the waves. Be sure to bring your camera on this marine life cruise that has a 95% success rate for spotting dolphins.
