• Statue of Sao Goncalo - Pass by the statue while learning about the protector of Lagos city.
• Ponta da Piedade Lighthouse - The cliffs at Ponta da Piedade headland are among the Algarve’s most exquisite natural wonders. This striking sandstone coastline features sea pillars, delicate rock arches, and concealed grottos, all sculpted by fierce winter storms. The headland is truly breathtaking.
• Cape Saint Vincent - Constructed in the 16th century, the fortress was designed to defend the coast from frequent Moorish pirate attacks. It is located on the site of an earlier medieval convent, which once housed the remains of São Vicente (St Vincent).

This military structure has a polygonal floor plan, with a gateway adorned by the royal shield and formerly equipped with a drawbridge.

Within the fortress, visitors can see the São Vicente lighthouse, built in 1904 and still operational today, along with the magnificent views of the cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean.

• Sagres - Lunch is typically enjoyed in Sagres, home to the Algarve’s most awe-inspiring landscape. The powerful natural forces at this southwestern tip of continental Europe reveal why ancient settlers considered it sacred, how it inspired 15th-century Portuguese explorers to venture into the unknown, and how it has preserved its original stunning beauty.

Sagres’ history is shaped by its geographic location and the remarkable landscape of the Sagres and Cape St. Vincent promontories. The dramatic 50-meter high headlands plunging into the sea have long intrigued and attracted the region’s successive settlers, as evidenced by various traces of their presence. The most significant figure in Sagres’ history was Henry the Navigator, who found inspiration here for his exploratory voyages, bringing fame to the region and leading to the establishment of Vila do Infante. Under his leadership, the area became a center of maritime activity, attracting cartographers, astronomers, and mariners, where caravels were constructed, and the exploration of Africa’s coast began.

• Marina de Lagos - A pleasant walk by the Marina is customary, crossing the river drawbridge, strolling along the riverside, and enjoying the refreshing Atlantic breeze. There is an opportunity to purchase souvenirs by the river or in the old town.
• Lagos - Lagos is a vibrant and lively city, proud of its history and boasting a rich and well-preserved heritage.

Lagos has a long-standing connection to the sea. Its original name, Lacobriga, indicates that the first settlers of this port, around 2000 BC, were of Celtic origin. Following them were the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians, but it was the Romans who brought growth and prosperity to the town. The Moors constructed walls around Lagos in the 10th century.

The 15th century marked a golden era for Lagos, with its active participation in the Age of Discoveries. Due to its port’s strategic location, directly opposite Africa, it became a major departure and arrival point for ships embarking on voyages to explore the continent.

• Statue of Infante Dom Henrique - Henry the Navigator established the school in Sagres, where navigators could enhance their sailing knowledge. He updated detailed maps, invited renowned cartographers, navigators, geographers, and shipbuilders to compile all this information with the news brought by returning sailors. He ensured each expedition learned from the previous one and encouraged the use of navigation instruments, such as the sea compass, astrolabe, and quadrant, which helped determine latitude.
• Church of Santa Maria de Lagos - Step inside and admire this modest church built in the 15th century, featuring a rectangular layout, single nave, and elevated main chapel, baptistery, and high choir. The high altar is painted in a remarkable manner, with vibrant colors and biblical scenes.
