Portugal's former window to the world |

The glorious history of Lagos has always been connected to the sea. It was here that Prince Henry armed his caravels opening the way for the great voyages in the time of the Discoveries. The small port of Lagos thus became an open window to the world and a meeting point of international routes where many different cultures crossed paths.

Era of the
Portuguese Discoveries
Until today Lagos has kept its cosmopolitan flair, responding to the challenges of modern times while respecting the heritage of the past.
Lagos is a great place for all kind of water sports and nautical activities. The breathtaking golden rocks of the Costa d’Oiro are one of Portugal's most photographed motif.
But Lagos has much more to offer: a rich cultural scene, some of the best Algarvian gastronomy, manifold outdoors activities and traditional handicraft.
