5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Lagos That You Shouldn't Miss

November 18, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like Medieval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetizer. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

We throughly enjoyed visiting this area. The sights on the outer/water sides of the light house are amazing!

Centro Cultural de Lagos

Reviewed By orchardvine - Canada, null

Stayed in the heart of it all week, and absolutely loved it. The architecture, cobbled streets, beautiful little stores that hold tons of treasures, and wonderful restaurants and cafes- easily the highlight of the visit to the Algarve. The beaches were just icing! Lovely slow start to the day with activity increasing steadily, and watching the hubbub during the day was charming. Such a charming place.

Really nice beach directly by the city center of Lagos with a poetic stone bridge to be photographed! Actually discovered it by chance because it is located to the right side of the central beach going inside a tunnel.
