Traveler pickup
  • Estr. de Ferreiras, 8200 Albufeira, Portugal
  • Castelo de Silves, Silves, Portugal
    Start your excursion with a hotel pickup, and then travel north to the ancient town of Silves, your first stop of the day. Home to a magnificent Moorish castle surrounded by terracotta-roofed houses, the town has history and pretty scenery in equal measures. With its lofty hill-top location, the town was a strategically important stronghold for the Moors after their invasion in the 8th century. Wealth flowed into Silves during its Moorish Middle Age heyday only to be wiped out after a century of power struggles and a devastating earthquake. Much of today’s stately architecture originates from the 19th century when Silves came back into prominence.
    60 minutes
  • Silves Cathedral, Silves, Portugal
    Admire the architecture and sights such as Silves Cathedral as you wander through the streets that lead to Silves Castle. Pay your entrance fee direct, and then head inside the impressive fortress to explore. Restored in the 1940s, the castle is thought to date as far back as the 11th century and features such as its central vaults have been beautifully preserved. Admire views over the town and the Algarve from the castle walls, and then return to your coach with your guide.
    60 minutes

My husband and I loved this tour. Bus was comfortable. Ana was our tour guide and spoke great english and explained everything very well. We were picked up from our hotel itself which was great. We had enough time in both places and enjoyed our visit The only downside was not able to see from Monchique due to the fog.

The town of Silves was beautiful with a fantastic castle. Unfortunately the whole trip felt a bit rushed. We almost spent more time travelling than time in the destinations. In Monchique we only saw the view from the mountains no time to stop and see the town.

Silves ist eine wunderschöne Stadt und Monchique eine wunderschöne Gegend und ein schönes Dorf. Wir haben in Silves gewohnt und es ist immer wieder schön gewesen durch die Gassen zu schlendern. Es geht über Kopfsteinpflaster auf und ab, es empfiehlt sich daher gutes Schuhwerk.
