Night Life

Once a fishing village, Albufeira is now a popular resort town with beautiful beaches, buzzing nightlife and a charming old town.

After sunset, the centre of Albufeira comes alive with bars, restaurants, and shops to suit most tastes, from authentic Portuguese-fare to Irish, English, and Dutch restaurants and pubs. The tourist areas are divided into two main areas, 'The Strip', and the Old Town. The Strip's main street is full of bars, restaurants and open-air discotheques. It is a very nightlife oriented area, very popular with young people. The Old Town is situated at the seafront. Street-artists entertain the crowds and there is a large choice of restaurants, bars and shops. Albufeira has two main beaches and several important religious and architectural attractions.

Everything on our trip to Poland has been perfect, hotels, tours, trains and the weather! All suggested hotels have been very nice; staff was very friendly and helpful in all of them. I suggested it to some of my friends. Thank you for your site and I shall definitely use it again when travelling in Europe : )

Having used Route Perfect before I was very happy with the service I received, the whole process is very slick and well organised, from the booking of the hotels on the website to the smooth check in process at the hotels, each hotel seems to give preferential/extra value rates for RoutePerfect bookings and I had no hesitation in booking with you again this year for our Italian Tour. Great service, good value, helpful team, I cant rate you highly enough! Well done - I am a very happy customer.
