Pleasant stroll
Sep 2020 • Solo
It's a pleasant experience to stroll through the winding alleys of the old town of Albufeira, some old churches to explore too...it makes for a nice change of the endless beach days!

First visit to Portugal
Sep 2020
We were staying at Sao Rafael, a ten minute drive away. Well worth a visit to Albufeira. Nice shops, bars and a great beach. Also visited another twice for breakfasts on the beach front. Great value at 3 to 5 Euro.

Lost soul of Albufeira
Sep 2020 • Couples
Oh Dear -the main square could be anywhere with plenty of restaurants and bars but no longer has any soul or quaintness that it had 15 years ago. So sad.

Typical Algarve
Oct 2019
Lovely town to have a wander around and stop for a very reasonably priced lunch. Make sure to have a typical rice pudding or custard ice cream.

Hi there I am traveling on a hen party for the weekend in May. We want to see the old town and have a nice meal outside with some live music are most of the restaurants still open on Sundays and offer live music. Any bar/restaurant recommendations aswell as sights to see would be extremely helpful. Many thanks

There are lots of bars and restaurants serving food which are all open in Sunday’s. Not too sure about the live music through the day but definitely at night. Bar street in the old town (just if the corner of the main square has live music outside where you can sit and listen outside at one of the many bars on the pedestrianised crossroad. Enjoy 😉

Hi again! My parents are comming to Portugal in June foot a week, can anyone suggest a hotel/apartment that is on the flat with no hilly inclines that might be centrally located in the Old Town so that they can easily access shops and restaurants? My Dad uses a walking stick. Maybe if Old Town isn't suitable can anyone recommend any other resorts?
Thank you,
Kate

Hotel Inatel or Sol e Mar are right on the beach with no hills. These will be close but not noisy as your parents sound quite senior. If they can put up with the noise then the Hotel California has had a renovation this year but is right in party central till midnight as is the Baltum hotel.

Hi Kathleen I know Albufeira very well but I don't have knowledge of either of those places. I've googled them and no neither are at all within walking distance of beach or old town. I usually stay close to the centre and the best one I can think of for a family is Albufeira Jardim. Hope this is helpful. Please message me again if you need any further help!

Is the old town suitable for a couple 26/27 years old?
We have been twice before but have stayed by the strip both times, we did love the strip and the nightlife but wanted a change for next year, we only went to the old town for dinner and a couple of drinks it’s beautiful and we said if we come again we’ll stay there instead! We will be going end of July start of August.
Do couples our age stay in the old town?
Do bars stay open past 2 am ?
Will there be a good nightlife atmosphere?
TIA

Hola! Visitaré Albufeira en el mes de Junio, y llegaré a la ciudad en tren. Quisiera saber por favor con qué transporte puedo manejarme, y sus costos aproximados, para poder llegar al centro de la ciudad (ya que leí que está aprox. a 6 km, y estaré cargando mi maleta). Desde ya muchas gracias por la ayuda que puedan brindarme!

Hi planning to staybin the old town area....is there a gym near by?
Cheers

I know this is a late reply but with the beach and the amount of stairs there are hills , not sure anyone needs a gym really. The Bella vista we were in had plenty of stairs and it was a walk down hill and up to get back and walking at a pace I would rather be out in the air than stuck in a gym.
