Explore Algarve

Explore Algarve is the travel guide that brings all 16 municipalities of the Algarve together in one place: Albufeira, Alcoutim, Aljezur, Castro Marim, Faro, Lagoa, Lagos, Loulé, Monchique, Olhão, Portimão, São Brás de Alportel, Silves, Tavira, Vila do Bispo and Vila Real de Santo António. It is built for anyone visiting the region who wants to discover more than the obvious spots. WHAT'S IN THE APP • Sights by municipality and locality, organised by category (beaches, monuments, churches, nature, culture), from Vilamoura to Sagres, from Carvoeiro to Praia da Rocha and Monte Gordo. • Beaches with useful information before you head out: water quality and sea temperature. • Weather warnings from IPMA for the region, in your language. • Hiking trails with distance, duration and difficulty, from the coast to the Monchique and Alcoutim hills. • Events and festivals organised by municipal councils and local businesses, with date and location. • Wine tab: the Algarve's wineries and their wines, with grape varieties, tasting notes, food pairings and visits (18+ only). • Useful services by municipality: council contacts, transport and local businesses. • Verified content: places and municipalities reviewed by the local councils themselves. • Save your favourite places and mark the ones you have visited. • Available in 13 languages: Portuguese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Dutch, Greek, Ukrainian, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. WHO IT'S FOR For visitors planning a trip to the Algarve with information organised by municipality, and for anyone living in or spending time in the region who wants to get to know its less obvious corners: trails, local festivals, beaches and wineries that don't show up in generic guides. The content is maintained by the municipal councils, local producers and local businesses, and updated directly by the people who know each municipality best. From the Algarve, for the Algarve.
