The Old Town and Historical Sites

Begin your journey in the heart of Tavira, strolling through the Old Town. You'll be captivated by the traditional Portuguese architecture as well as the grandeur of historic churches. A visit to the Santa Maria do Castelo Church, the site where Knights Templar stood, is a must. Marvel at the ancient walls and imagine the tales they could tell. The Tavira Castle remnants, with its stunning views of the town, is a not-to-be-missed vantage point accessible via a short climb. Check it out on Google Maps.

Iconic Roman Bridge and River Gilão

No picture of Tavira is complete without the iconic Roman Bridge stretching over the serene River Gilão. Although it's a misnomer, as the bridge is not of Roman origin but medieval, it remains an essential landmark of the town. Linger on this bridge and you'll feel the soul of Tavira beneath your feet. Meanwhile, the river itself offers a tranquil backdrop, perfect for those postcard-worthy snaps or a peaceful moment watching local life unfold.

The Vibrant Marketplaces

A weave of color and life awaits at Tavira's marketplaces, where local produce and artisan goods beckon. Explore the Mercado da Ribeira, close to the river, and indulge in the tradition and freshness of the Algarve. Here, the catch of the day vies for your attention alongside locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and other regional delicacies.
