    hrs Estimate Duration

Experience the historical gifts of the region as you journey to the extreme southwestern tip of Europe, traverse an enchanting cliffside 15th-century fortress and enjoy a guided tour through Lagos, the base for naval expeditions during the Age of Discovery. Settle in for a marvelously scenic drive of approximately one hour to the rocky seaside bluffs of Cabo de São Vicente, where you’ll observe a striking lighthouse built in 1846 and gaze at the azure ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see.


Marvel at the cliffside Fortaleza de Sagres, which was built by Henry the Navigator and endured both repeated attacks and a devastating tsunami following the 1755 Great Lisbon earthquake. You’ll see original architecture, including a massive, mysterious compass rose made from pebbles at the fort, a National Monument of Portugal. Embark on an illuminating guided walking tour in Lagos, an ancient maritime town now known for its magnificent beaches, and stroll by the exquisite Baroque Igreja de Santo António church and a former slave market that dates back to 1444.


Wrap up your fascinating journey into the past with time at your leisure to stroll in Lagos’ quaint, pedestrian-only center.
