Guided walking tour in the most romantic city of the Algarve

In the eastern part of the Algarve, close to the Spanish border, we find one of the most atmospheric small towns in the region, the town of Tavira, shining with its white-painted walls.
The settlement on both banks of the Gilão River is often referred to as the “Venice of the Algarve”, where you can find many old churches and mansions. Tavira was already considered one of the most important towns in the Algarve, along with Faro, even during the time of the Moors. The two sides of the charming city are connected by a romantic bridge from the Roman-era.

.

During our visit to the city of Tavira, we will walk across the most romantic bridge in the Algarve, visit the largest and then the most beautiful of Tavira’s 37 churches, admire the fabulous garden blooming between the walls of the old castle, and finally venture into the city’s most popular shopping street. And of course, we will also find out if you like Ginjinha!

.

Why is Tavira often called the Venice of the Algarve? What was the settlement’s main livelihood activity throughout its history? Who actually built the “Roman Bridge”? For what purpose was the Tavira castle built? What celebrity is buried in one of the city’s churches? What makes the Tavira salt fields pink? What ranks Tavira first among European cities? What are the mirrors and lenses all over the city for? How many churches actually stand in the city? What makes the Misericórdia church, classified as a Portuguese national monument, special? What is your favorite place in town for locals? Why did Ponte Romana become a pedestrian bridge? What is Ginjinha?

You will get answers to all of these if you join our Tavira city walking tour!
