Fortaleza de Sagres

Sagres promontory

Sagres Fortress combines historic defences, a dramatic ocean-facing promontory and an exhibition centre. Families can explore the relationship between the place, navigation and the sea, with educational activities offered through the fortress programme. Much of the visit is outdoors, so allow for wind and an exposed coastal setting.

Museu de Vila do Bispo – Celeiro da História

Sítio das Eiras, Vila do Bispo

Vila do Bispo’s Celeiro da História transforms a former grain store into a museum of the far western Algarve. Geology, dinosaur traces, archaeology, shipwrecks and local traditions give families several ways into the area’s story. It is a substantial indoor cultural option beyond the more familiar fortress and beach outings.
