About Silves

Text
Oh-so-pretty Silves dazzles with its maze of winding cobbled streets, terracotta-topped roofs and whitewashed buildings. Overlooking the whole lot is an incredible red-stone castle that looks like it’s been plucked straight out of a fairytale. Charming or what? Base yourself here for an authentic Algarve stay not far from the coast.

Sweet sightseeing

Silves was the ancient capital of the Algarve, so there are lots of time-worn sights to see during a holiday here. The quaint Old Town clings to a hillside, topped by the stunning castle and cathedral. Swing by arcaded squares, pretty gates and medieval churches on your way up to see them.

Day trips galore

If the coast is calling, make a beeline for Armação de Pêra. This sleepy beach resort is just a 20-minute car journey from Silves and home to the Algarve’s trademark gold-sand shores, so days relaxing by the Atlantic are on the cards. You’ve got water parks, great golf courses and vineyards to discover on your doorstep too.
