Planning a holiday in the Algarve always begins with the excitement of discovering the famous golden sand beaches, hidden coves, and authentic Portuguese gastronomy.

​However, any experienced traveler knows that the tone of the entire holiday is largely set by the very first hour spent on Portuguese soil. Instead of wasting precious time in long queues for car rentals or looking for last-minute solutions in front of the terminal, you can start your journey in peace, benefiting from a 10% discount on all Faro Airport Transfers.

Why a private transfer remains the ideal solution upon arrival in Faro

Choosing a specialized Faro airport transfers service simplifies the entire arrival experience:

  • Meet & Greet straight in the terminal: A dedicated driver awaits you at the exit of the baggage reclaim area, holding a sign with your name on it, so you don’t waste any time looking for the car.
  • Automatic flight monitoring: Even if your flight is delayed or lands early, the pickup schedule is automatically adjusted, without any extra costs.
  • Direct, door-to-door journey: No intermediate stops, no idle time, and no detours through other resorts. You arrive straight at the door of your accommodation.
  • Fixed prices, no surprises: You know the final rate from the booking stage, with no fluctuations caused by heavy traffic or night surcharges.

How to benefit from the offer: 10% discount on all Faro Airport Transfers

  1. Enter your flight details: Specify the date of arrival, flight number, and the exact address of the hotel or villa where you are staying.
  2. Choose the right vehicle: Depending on the size of your group, you can opt for a spacious executive car or a comfortable minivan with a generous capacity.
  3. Confirm via email: You will immediately receive all the details of your booking and direct contact info for customer support.

Spacious minivans: Ultimate comfort for families and groups

  • Capacity of up to 8 seats: Each passenger enjoys ample legroom and a comfortable position throughout the journey.
  • Extremely spacious trunk: Suitable for multiple large suitcases, strollers, and bulky sports bags.

9 perfect tourist attractions to visit in Portugal this summer – Part 3  

porto-portugal-cityscape-across-the-douro-river

Dear friends, we are back with the 9 perfect tourist attractions to visit in Portugal this summer – Part 3 sees us going through the last three attractions of choice on our list. And today we go north, all the way to Porto and its surrounding areas, the sunny Douro Valley plains, where the hallmark Port wine is produced, and the small villages with cobblestone winding streets…

The North of Portugal is the industrial region, recognized as the richer and more somber side of the country. You can travel here easily with a Porto airport transfer. You can also travel from there to the other corners of the country should you like to lodge in the north during your stay.

7. Porto has a lot of mainstream sites to boast with, but also a lot of hidden, secret and wonderful sites, such as the Lello Bookstore, dubbed the most beautiful library in the world. Any bookworm traveling around the Globe should go there for a cup of coffee and a good book to browse through.

8. If you want to rent a car in Porto, you can afford to travel outside the city as well. In this case of figures, you should take a ride to Vila Nova de Gaia. the “barcos rabelos” accosted in the harbor make for a colorful and idyllic landscape. A trip top this typically northern-Portuguese town can serve as a perfect city break option.

9. And here we are, at the end of our list. What should our last Portuguese suggestion be? Can we end our list so soon? First off, you must remember these are just mere suggestions, the list doesn’t really ever end. So here it is: Cais da Ribeira, a labyrinth of winding streets and narrow alleys facing the beautiful riverfront of the majestic Douro River.

Have a great time in Portugal this summer!

We have finally come to the essential: Part 2 of the 9 perfect tourist attractions to visit in Portugal this summer brings us to the seaside, the sunny, brilliant, shimmering shores of the Algarve.

The southern part of Portugal is called the Algarve. It is the most beautiful and bright area and also home to some of the most outstanding samples of inter-culturality, as it witnessed the rise and fall of several empires and rules, from the Roman to the Christian, to the Moorish and back to the Portuguese victory of the Reconquista. Good: so what can we visit here?

4. Faro is the capital city of the Algarve. It is also one of the most beautiful and economically prominent sites in Portugal. Cidade Velha is the compact and extremely romantic old town center of Faro, reminiscent of centuries old gone. Larga da Se is the core of the quarter, dominated by the silhouette of the old cathedral.

Of course, Faro is not just the old center. The harbor is a beautiful picturesque spot as well and not to mention the Museu do Marítimo Almirante Ramalho Ortigão, which tells a beautiful tale about the maritime history of Portugal and the Algarve.

5. Lagos is our next recommendation for your Algarve trip. You can stay there for a week or more for very accessible rates. It is big enough to have a city feel and everything you need at the tip of your fingers and small enough to be cozy and authentically Portuguese. You can go to Lagos car rental and benefit from the best transport option: a car all ready for you for your trip.

6. Last (for today), but certainly not least, is Silves, one of the most scenic and picturesque towns in the Algarve. The Medieval Festival of Silves is an event that attracts thousands of people from all around the world, eager to have fun and remember the wonderful past with melancholy.

Summer is here and it is the very best time to be in Portugal, by the ocean, drinking a cocktail and reading a good book on the rocky beaches. Today we give you 10 Places not to miss in Portimao, a city that in itself is not to be missed if you are ever in the sunny and shiny Algarve.

  1. Praia da Rocha is the most famous and transited beach in Portimao. It offers some of the most staggering views of the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by the dramatic cliffs that dominate the sea landscape of the Algarve.
  2. The Portimao Museum is an award-winning cultural establishment, one that harbors some of the most famous archeological relics in the entire Algarve. It is a destination not to miss. I know I, for one, never leave a town without visiting a museum, so this is my recommendation for the day.
  3. Canico Restaurant is a place to visit to satiate your hunger. You can enjoy the local delicacies in a wonderful ambient, surrounded by the wonderfully scenic landscapes of the sea (actually – never forget: the Atlantic Ocean)!
  4. TEMPO might mean “time” in Portuguese. But it also stands for Teatro Municipal de Portimão, the local theatre, where you can see some of the best reenactments of modern and classical plays alike.
  5. The best sightseeing spot in Portimao is the Portimao Marina. It is the place where everyone comes to take a picture (or a boat). It is also the place where old and young people alike can come to take their first surf lessons. And let’s not forget that Portugal is one of the best places where you can practice this sport

If you need a lift, you can rent a car in Portimao and the best thing is you will get a very good rate if you know where to look. (Start by looking online, actually).
