About this place
Tavira is a beautiful town that you really 'should' visit. This town is sometimes called the 'Venice' of Portugal because of the Gilão river that flows through it. You can cross the river via the old Roman bridge. This bridge is easily the most photographed bridge in the Algarve. It is, after all, a sight to behold.
And what else?
Tavira is located approximately 3 km inland and therefore does not have a direct beach on its doorstep. Just like in the rest of the Eastern Algarve, you can take a boat/ferry to the islands where the beautiful beaches are located.
​
Tavira is also very attractive for the many dining options you can find there. Enjoy a delicious lunch, extensive drinks, delicious dinner or just a drink in the cafe. It's all possible in Tavira, look here for an overview.
