First up is Silves, in the heart of the orange-growing country at the foot of the highlands. You'll climb up its castle to admire the views, learn about its Moorish past and enjoy a cake and orange juice in its café. We'll then continue the excursion deep into the Monchique Mountains, where we'll stop in a restaurant for lunch.

Next is Mt Foia, the Algarve's highest point. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views over the countryside. You'll also drop into a shop for a liqueur tasting. Then, it's on to Monchique to explore its cobbled streets and traditional shops. Rounding off the day is Caldas de Monchique for a guided walk through a garden rich in the area's endemic trees as well as a mineral water tasting.

Du får en känsla av dess historia när du vandrar genom gamla stan på mönstrade kullerstensgator flankerade av vackra byggnader."Staden Lagos ligger skyddad vid en flodmynning och har ett utmärkt läge vid stranden och inom räckhåll för allt det fantastiska landskapet.

Lissabon från Algarve med sightseeingbuss och ledig tid

Lissabon från Algarve med sightseeingbuss och ledig tid

Få huvudstäder är så mångfacetterade som Lissabon. Från de tätt packade gränderna i gamla stan till de eleganta boulevarderna i Baixa Pombalina är det en stad full av charm och liv - och klassiska gula spårvagnar. Gonçalo, en av våra kunniga lokalguider, säger: "En stor del av Lissabon förstördes i jordbävningen 1755 och byggdes sedan om under markisen av Pombals ledning till den första staden med innovativa jordbävningsresistenta konstruktioner - därav dagens namn på stadsdelen: Baixa Pombalina.Vi börjar ganska tidigt, så att du kan nå Lissabon i god tid. Gör dig redo för en spektakulär utsikt över staden när du korsar den Golden Gate-liknande 25 april-bron över floden Tejo till strandpromenaden i stadsdelen Belém. Du kommer att få se Belémtornet, Upptäckarmonumentet och mycket mer. Gonçalo berättar: ”Belémtornet byggdes i början av 1500-talet och är en ikonisk symbol för Portugals upptäckternas tidsålder. En gång i tiden stod det på en liten ö nära flodstranden, men eftersom flodens lopp ändrades står det nu nära stranden. Under årens lopp har den fungerat som en försvarspunkt, en fyr, ett tullhus och till och med ett fängelse.Därefter åker du buss för sightseeing och passerar bland annat Basilica Estrela. Din guide kommer sedan att peka ut de bästa områdena i staden att kolla in under din lediga tid - oavsett om du föredrar att shoppa, äta middag eller bara promenera gator kantade med imponerande byggnader från Portugals kejserliga dagar. Du återvänder till Algarve via Vasco da Gama-bron - den längsta i Europa.

Guided evening 4x4 tour of Monchique Hills with dinner

Guided evening 4x4 tour of Monchique Hills with dinner

This trip has to be one of the best ways to discover the real Algarve. Jump into a 4x4, leave the coast behind and make your way up into the Monchique hills. You'll discover the real heart of the region, one that most visitors never get to see. Ines, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘These hills feel almost untouched by time, with little farming villages where life moves at a slower pace, offering a glimpse of traditional Portuguese life.'Travelling in small groups winding along earth tracks and past tiny villages, you'll get a sneak peek of a peaceful lifestyle that's quickly disappearing. One of the highlights is the whitewashed village of Alferce, home to a pretty church dating back to the 16th century. Any cultivatable patches of land in the area are filled with citrus orchards and eucalyptus groves. Next, you'll continue on your journey to explore the natural wilderness of Barrancos dos Pisoes.There'll be plenty of stops along the way to capture those perfect holiday pictures and then we'll travel up to the highest point in the Algarve. At this special viewpoint, you'll watch the sky change colour as the sun sets and toast the view with a glass of sparkling wine. Hop back into the 4x4 and as darkness blankets the landscape, you'll head to a local restaurant for a traditional dinner including specialities from the Monchique hills.
