8 days in Tavira Itinerary

Tavira has succeeded at escaping the flood of tourism that has affected other coastal Portuguese towns over the years.

You've now added Fado com Historia to your itinerary. Change things up with these side-trips from Tavira: Faro (Old Town Faro, Faro Cathedral, &more), Ilha da Culatra (in Olhao) and Aquashow Park (in Quarteira). And it doesn't end there: take in the waterfront activity at Marina de Vilamoura, tour the pleasant surroundings at Praia de Monte Gordo, engage your brain at Tavira Ciencia Viva Science Centre, and stroll around Ria Formosa.

For photos, other places to visit, ratings, and tourist information, you can read our Tavira travel route site.

If you are flying in from Germany, the closest major aiport is Faro Airport. In December in Tavira, expect temperatures between 20°C during the day and 11°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 4th (Sat) to allow enough time to travel back home.
