Outdoor terraces on busy streets or on the sea front are perfect places to kick back and enjoy a cocktail.

Or stroll around, enjoy the pleasant breeze and browse at handicraft and souvenir stalls.

If you like to gamble, try your luck at the casinos in Vilamoura, Monte Gordo and Portimão.

And if music is what you’re looking for, there are nightclubs galore.

In the summer, there’s one theme party after another, from the Ladies’ Nights, to the Foam Parties, to the Beach Parties.

Visit the biggest nightclub in the Algarve, Kadok, or the excellent dance floor over the water in Capítulo V, Oura. And if you want to see how the Portuguese jet set let their hair down, take a trip to Le Club (Sta. Eulália) and T-Clube (Quinta do Lago).
