Beautiful little traditional villages can be discovered throughout the area.# To do something like this, a car rental is advised.

 

Please find below the selection we made for you:

Tavira Castle (Castelo de Tavira)- The medieval Tavira Castle is perched on a hill with panoramic views over the town and the surrounding landscape. It dates back to Roman times but was extensively rebuilt in the 13th century. You can explore the remains of the castle, its beautiful gardens, and take in the stunning views.

 

Roman Bridge (Ponte Romana)- The Roman Bridge of Tavira is one of the town's most iconic landmarks. While parts of the bridge are from Roman times, much of it was rebuilt during the 17th century. It spans the Gilão River and offers a lovely pedestrian walk across

 

Pego do Inferno Waterfall- Located just outside Tavira, this beautiful waterfall cascades into a natural pool surrounded by lush vegetation. It’s a great spot for hiking, swimming, and photography.

 

Tavira Municipal Market- The Municipal Market is a great spot to experience local life and pick up fresh produce, seafood, and regional delicacies

 

Tavira Island (Ilha de Tavira)- Tavira Island is a beautiful, unspoiled island located just off the coast. Accessible by ferry from the town, it boasts stunning beaches, clear waters, and dunes.

 

Carmo Church (Igreja do Carmo)- The Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is famous for its Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos). This small chapel is adorned with human bones, providing a stark contrast to the more serene spaces of the church
