About this experience
YouTube travel—now in person! Explore historic Lagos before the heat and crowds with your local guide, Gwen.
This fun, small-group walk begins at Forte da Ponta da Bandeira before continuing past the city walls into the old town’s cobbled streets and historic squares.
Hear engaging stories about the people and events that shaped Lagos, from its Roman and Moorish roots to Portugal’s maritime era, seafaring culture, and the earthquake and tsunami of 1755. Notice tiled façades, monuments, and cultural details that are easy to miss alone.
Enjoy an optional traditional Algarve treat while learning about regional specialties, dining customs, and favorite places to eat.
Finish at the Municipal Market, where you can browse local foods and products, enjoy vendor samples when available, and shop for gifts or treats.
A Lagos local and travel vlogger, Gwen shares firsthand Algarve tips on dining, beaches, outdoor and marine activities, wine tastings, and cultural sites.
