Discover Vilamoura by Hire Car
Vilamoura is the name of a unique holiday paradise on the gorgeous Algarve in southern Portugal.

Sights in Vilamoura
On the outskirts of the marina is also one of the most interesting archaeological sites in all of Portugal, the “Cerro da Vila” with exhibits from Roman, Moorish and Visigothic days.
A highlight of Vilamoura is also the spacious green areas, which make up almost two thirds here and reach down to the fantastic beach, the “Praia da Falesia”.
As is typical of the whole stretch of coastline in the Algarve, the fine sandy beach here is also bordered by bizarre rock formations several metres high. Sometimes you can even spot dolphins from here.
Not only Vilamoura, but the entire coastal region of the Algarve is extremely scenic, and it is best to explore it by hire car.
