Welcome to Tavira. Set on either side of the meandering Rio Gilao, Tavira is arguably the Algarve´s most charming town. The ruins of a hilltop castle, the old Roman bridge and a smattering of Gothic and Renaissance churches are among its historic attractions. An enticing assortment of restaurants and guesthouses makes it an excellent base for exploring the Algarve´s eastern reaches.

Tavira is ideal for wandering, with its warren of cobblestone streets, hidden pretty historic gardens and shady plazas. There is a small active fishing port and a modern market. Only 3km from the coast, Tavira is the launching point for the stunning, unspoilt beaches of Ilha de Tavira.

We hope you come and visit this lovely area of the Algarve, and discover the history of this incredible old city. We look forward to having you here.
