LAGOS, PORTUGAL | 6 BEST Things To Do In Lagos
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Lagos is a charming port town that boasts dramatic natural scenery, situated in southern Portugal's Algarve region. We highlight the 6 best things to do in and around Lagos in this video:
6. Hit The Beach
Due to its year-round pleasant weather, one of the best things to do in Lagos is to hit the beach. Characterized by flanking rocky cliffs, hidden coves, and white sand, Lagos is home to many beaches that are perfect to relax and swim. Our favorite beaches for swimming include the sandy Duna Beach, the beautiful Dona Ana, Estudantes, Batata, and Camilo beach.
5. Explore Downtown Lagos
The downtown of Lagos is home to whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets, filled with cozy restaurants and cafés. It’s just fun to wander around, have a bite or drink, and relax. But if you want to learn a bit more about Lagos’ past, you can also visit the forte da ponte da bandeira, the iconic churches (Santo Antonio/Santa Maria Church), or one of the museums (Museu de Lagos dr. josé formosinho). It’s also a pleasure to roam around the traditional houses and check out the pretty harbour.
4. Walk The Cliffs
Starting at Pinhao beach, you can walk 3km of coastal cliffs all the way to the famous Ponta da Piedade. Winding above eccentric limestone formations and through diverse flora and fauna, this trail is truly special. Adventure lovers will find joy in getting lost and then navigating their way back to the path throughout the route. Even though the trail is not well-marked, you can just keep walking south the whole time along the cliffs and you’ll make it to Ponta da Piedade.
3. Ponta da piedade
Sitting 3.5 kilometers from the city center of Lagos, Ponta da Piedade is one of the most amazing natural sites to see in the area. Jagged limestone cliffs and hidden caves take center stage while pounding waves make beautiful music in the background. There is a boardwalk as well as small cliff trails that line the edges, winding around the magnificent lighthouse. We recommend arriving at the point an hour or so before sunset. In this way, you can get a little exercise in before rewarding yourself with one of the most beautiful sunset spots in all of Portugal!
2. Grutas boat tour or kayak tour
There are hundreds of caves and strange rock formations that go along the coast from Batata Beach to Ponta da piedade. While it’s fun to walk along the top of the cliffs, it’s even more impressive to see them from the ocean level. You have a few options for guided tours of these special cliffs. You can either go on a guided kayak or boat tour that leaves from downtown Lagos. While the kayak is more adventurous, it can also be a little rough because of weather conditions!

1. Day trip to Benagil cave
Located about 35 kilometers from Lagos, The Benagil Cave is an amazing natural attraction in the Algarve. You can get to the cave by rental car or by boat tour directly from Lagos. Keep in mind that if you choose the boat tour, you won’t be able to see the inside of the cave since the boat is too big. That’s why we recommend renting a car or scooter to get to the cave and then renting a kayak at the beach itself.

Thanks for the Video. We stay NOW in Lagos for 3 weeks. 🇵🇹♥️🙏obrigado und adeus
Have lots of fun!! We were there about a month ago! Definitely explore around in the Algarve
@@worldwildhearts no we drive to our Home beach praia cordoama on the westcoast 🤘🐚🌊
we have an apartment in Alvor, therefore Lagos is on our doorstep. you are so blessed to be able to holiday there, Good luck with your future adventure's.
Would you say Alvor is better for a young couple than Lagos? We enjoy nightlife but not rowdiness like stag do’s etc thanks
Thank you! What a great place to have an apartment! 😍
We didn’t find Lagos too rowdy! There’s a couple of street with bars that can be noisy but if you stay outside of that, it’s pretty quiet overall
Your team diserves millions views and likes 🥰🥰
That’s so nice to hear 🥰🥰🥰 thanks!!

Looks great! To which time of the year have u been in Lagos?
We were there at the end of May and it was beautiful 😍 not so busy yet!
Great video! However, you erroneously called Meia Praia “Duna Beach”! 😎
Hey - Great channel. Booked Algarve. You mentioned not being able to go into the Benagil caves if travelling by boat (vs kayak). But I’ve seen videos of boats entering the cave briefly, albeit not going all the way in or being able to dock. Is this what you meant?
Kayak won’t be an option due to kids I’m afraid!
The boats do enter the cave from the water, but the people aren't able to get out of the boat and stay on the beach inside the cave. We liked to spend some time inside the cave on the sand as there were some quiet moments for pictures when the boats left.
It would be helpful if you could include where to stay and if a car is required. Thanks.
Hi! You could check out our blog post for more of that information... www.worldwildhearts.com/post/lagos-in-portugal-travel-guide A car or motorcycle are definitely recommended if you want to travel more independently to other places in the Algarve. Lagos itself is small enough that you can walk anywhere! There are also boat tours to nearby caves and natural attractions. We rented a car and motorcycle for a few days and the other places we visited by local bus and train (such as Faro and the bigger cities)
Great video, planning on going there this month do you think it will be worth it
I hope you had some great weather! It probably was pretty quiet there at this time
Lagos or algavre? And can u recomend anyother with the most beatiful beach and surroundings?
Lagos for the beautiful beaches and overall atmosphere we would say. The rest of the Algarve is also beautiful.
Which aiport did you fly into to get to lagos, which is the closest?
We were in Lisbon before getting to the Algarve so we took the bus. A closer airport would be Faro (in the Algarve region). From Faro, you can take a train to Lagos
Faros was our airport when we visited Lagos. It's to the east of Lagos.
Hi, for renting the scooter in Lagos, does it need a motorcycle driver license (we are from Canada)?
Yes you'll need a licence.... for some reason, Zac's driving licence wasn't accepted in Portugal...
the benagil caves are closed to the public now right?
Don't think so!
I am in logos❤
Enjoy!
Is it a safe place for tourist?
Yes Portugal in general feels very safe!
Where there many other tourists there?
Not too many when we were there at the end of May! I can imagine it gets a lot busier during the summer months
We are planning on spending 6 weeks this winter Jan'23-Feb'23 in either LAgos or Faro? Which town would y"all recommend if you had to chose one ?
Easy choice for us… Lagos. We loved the vibe there and there’s beautiful beach walks / nature around
I Love Jonna Napire 💜💚❤️ JUNE 28, 2024
How can you be digital nomads and be on UA-cam in the same time? Apart that a really good channel.
UA-cam helps us being digital nomads…
this place can rent scooter？
Yes absolutely! We saw a few rental places in town
It's pronounced ['lahgoosh]
Expensive???
Not too bad!
Loved this place, stayed in the “rising cock” hostel it was sick. Amazing bar crawl and just sick setup
Glad you enjoyed it! Lagos is amazing. Can't wait to go back one day 👍
They have bar crawls in Lagos? I thought that was more a Albufeira thing
@@liammurphy6063 Lagos is a lovely place but has few bars which suit the younger generation don’t be put off going by the bar crawl
