Things to see and do

Portimão is just next to Praia da Rocha, which comes with a two kilometre stunning beach, so visitors can take advantage of the sand just down the road. The water here is shallow and calm, suitable for families with younger children, while a bit further out to sea the waves attract windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts.

Kayak and SUP tours of the local caves are popular with tourists, while those who prefer to stay on dry land will appreciate the good choice of bars and restaurants, or a spot of volleyball. Families can explore the area on a donkey ride from Burro Ville; which is a great experience for kids.

Top attractions

Portimão is very much geared towards families, with lots of attractions and activities to suit all ages. If your little one’s love waterparks, then nearby Slide and Splash will be perfect for them, with pools and slides, as well as an area especially for little kids. Zoomarine theme park, in Guia, is another excellent excursion, as is a coastal tour from Portimão Harbour aboard the Santa Bernarda pirate ship.

Best restaurants

Vista is a great place to come for a tasty set menu, where you can discover some of the local cuisine including deliciously fresh seafood. Another great choice, with excellent views to match, is A Casa Da Rocha, a must-try for visitors to Portimao.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
