ALBUFEIRA Portugal 🇵🇹 (ALGARVE) A Day in Albufeira Portugal Summer 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Albufeira, Portugal is one of the top summer destinations in the Algarve. Albufeira is known as the party town of the Algarve. With a couple fantastic beaches, nightclubs, bars, and restaurants, we can see why. However, there is plenty to do for those of us that are looking for something a bit quieter and laid back. The old town has plenty of restaurants to take in the amazing view and sunset or just sit back and relax with a drink. We were shocked by how much we loved our time in Albufeira and can definitely see returning - it definitely has something for everyone!!

Albufeira Portugal took us by surprise! We really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did. Have you ever visited here? If so, what were your thoughts?
Sat in hotel in albufeira now, watching you in albufeira 😁😁
Did you visit the new town. That side is clubs and pubs. Large groups of men and women. Ok during the day. The old town is more couples and families. Live singers in the street at night. The marina is a good trip for the day also.
Hi, Ian. Thank you for watching. We did not get over to the new town. We really enjoyed what we did get to experience. Albufeira is a new top choice for us!
Cheers!!!🍻
i'm going there in about 10 days, are there any things to do or restaurants you would recommend ?
Going in 5 days!!
Living the dream! Brian, I love your hat. Good purchase from a previous video. Carrie - priceless when you stated - for us every hour is happy hour! Cheers to a great couple. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Thank you so much, Kimberly! We are really enjoying our travels and love getting this kind of message! Makes it all worth it. Thank you. 🍻
Cheers!!!
Love the Algarve, lived there for a few years. Trying to escape the UK and head back to the sun with the family.
Thanks to your vlogs on Montenegro we are right now sitting in a beautiful Air Bnb overlooking Kotor Bay. Enjoy all your videos, keep them coming!
Thank you! Such and great view, we LOVED Kotor! If you can get over to Budva for the day it is worth the time. Thanks so much for watching and safe travels!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie On our list!
Nice video, was there last year in Sept for a month,,going back again this year in Oct. Def a party place on the weekends. A nice day trip is going to the town of Tavira……….🤗🇨🇦
We loved Tavira!! We did a video on it as well, we really enjoyed the beach!! Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!!🍻
Thanks for the nice Video. I was quite surprised by the beauty of the town, the strip shops in a tree lined setting, the general vibe, cleanliness and the beautiful surrounds. Surely a place I would add to my list of must see places. Cheers!
Hello CM! We had a great day. We had heard some negative things about Albufeira before going but turns out we really liked it. There is something for everyone for sure.
Cheers!!🍻
im living here from last 3 months...one of my favourte city in portugal♥️ love your vlog👌
Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
Albufeira gets its party reputation from the ‘strip’ which is a road full of bars about 1 mile west of the old town that is normally full of drunken teenagers, sometimes my own! You were quite a distance from it which is the best place to be! Happy travels
We can see why it's known for the parties and we didn't even get over to the 'strip'. A fun place for sure! Thanks for the tip and, of course, for watching our channel.
Cheers!!!🍻
Love the video and I love Brian’s new hat! We will add Albufeira to our list!
Thanks, Anthony!! 😆
Cheers!!!🍻
I am enjoying this video on my big TV right now ☺️ love you 🤠😇😇❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 😀
Thanks for sharing this video 👍🇬🇧
So jealous, another great video guys! Cheers 🍻
Thanks, El Ricko!
Cheers!!!🍻
I recommend Lagos. Similar coastline, good restaurants and very central train and bus terminals.
We stayed in Lagos for a month and loved it! We did a video on it as well along with a "pros and cons" video we just released.
Cheers 🍻
Thank for sharing, My and I are heading to Albufeira to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary (24/11/22). God Bless you both.
Thank you, Ron, and happy anniversary!!
Cheers!!🍻
We are excited to visit in April & hoping it's not too busy with tourists yet! Thank you for the helpful video!
Thank you so much for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Great video! Thank you. We'll be there next week and your video helped a lot!
You will have a great time, Arleen! We miss the Algarve and can't wait to get back. Thank you for watching and safe travels.
Cheers!!🍻
Cracking up at Brian being a bit wacky in the tunnel lol. This is probably my fave Portugal place you guys have been so far! Looks wonderful and we’re definitely putting it on our list!
We had a great day Renee. It will be difficult to decide what part of the Algarve is our favorite. We may even differ in opinion. 😳
@@BrianandCarrie You guys are going to some fantastic places. Love following along with your journey. Currently watching Porto videos and getting ready to look for an AirBnB there!
Porto is amazing!!!
Albufeira is probably the best spot to be in the Algarve, despite not having a proper train stop.
While it's not the most charming town, it has everything there (beaches, restaurants, pubs, clubs) or nearby (Guia Shopping Centre, Aquaparks).
Albufeira is in the centre of the Algarve coastline, it's 90 min drive to Sagres or to Spain..
Hi Sergio! Thank you for the comments, we couldn't agree more. We had a great day and got more than we expected! Thanks for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
renting a car from Lisbon is cheaper and you can drive down the entire coast! Thanks for this video, I absolutely miss this place. Im hoping to be living there soon
My beautiful country
We love your beautiful country, Ana. Thank you for watching.
Cheers!!!🍻
Good content, love to see my country by you guys 😃😃
You have an amazing country!! Thank you so much for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Hello!
I have subscribed your channel today!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Greetings from a Portuguese living in England ❤️
Thank you for subscribing to and supporting our channel!! We love Portugal and will be back soon!!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Thank you ❤️
There are local buses (the Giro line) from the bus station to the town centre. Each ticket costs 1.40€.
Great information Sheila! This is really helpful, thank you!
Cheers!!🍻
Great video! You are GLOWING Carrie!
Thank you so much!
Thanks guys!
You bet! Thanks for watching 😊
We were there last month for a few days. We rented a car and had a lot of fun.
Hey Rodney! Renting a car is the way to go if you can for sure. Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
Love this 💘 I have an Albufeira vlog up too, such a beautiful place
Thanks for this video. Won't be in Albufeira until May, 2023 but can't wait. Maybe a strange question but were there public restrooms that were easily accessible?
Not a strange question at all! We didn't notice any in Albufeira but there is always a restaurant you can go into. When we do notice public restrooms you usually have to pay. Always carry pocket change! Thank you for watching and safe travels.
Cheers!!!🍻
We absolutely love watching your videos. Very to the point and informative and great shots of the sights! Of the 3 areas, Albufeira, Portimao, and Quarteira, which would you recommend for a months stay in Feb for a couple in their early 60’s. An area not super busy or over populated and yet still has lots to see with eating out options. We are thinking of renting a car to see more of the Algarve through day trips. Any suggestions?
We preferred Albufeira over Portimao, we didn't have the opportunity to make it to Quarteira. For day trips Lagos in the west and Tavira and Vila Real de Santo Antonio in the east. Having a car is a must to see the area so we would highly recommend renting one!! Have fun and safe travels!!
Cheers!!🍻
Thank you
Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
Very charming video. You both sound a bit piddly at the end!
We had a great day, and really enjoyed Albufeira. Thank you for watching!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Rocking that hat, Brian!
Thank you! I had to get that last week to protect my forehead! It's bigger than it used to be! 😀
Cheers!!! 🍻
You wee in Old Town all along, down hill or up the hill it is all the old town still. The new side of he town is where The Strip is - do not go there😆
You almost ran into a half-naked man in that tunnel. Ohh Myyy (carmel said that). How do you like your hat? Where is that donkey shirt? We do love this town. Putting it on our list of cities to visit.
I'm loving the hat!! Keeps my forehead from getting burned!! I have that donkey shirt packed in my bag! It is one of the five shirts I brought but haven't worn yet. 😀
Cheers!!!🍻
Beautiful! We've been researching Portugal for some time now and Albuferia came up as our first choice of where to stay in the Algarve. Thanks for sharing! Fyi...it's going to hit 100 degrees here in PDX tomorrow!!! What are the temps like there?
That's hot!! The last couple of weeks it was low to mid-80s but has cooled off a bit to about 75. It has been almost perfect! We will have a video out next week about our thoughts on each location that we visited. Thanks for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Nice video well done
Thank you!!
For a day trip from Lisbon which one would you suggest, Albufeira or Lagos?
Definitely Lagos!
Hello I have a question
There are animals in the sea off the coast of Albufeira
Yes there are.
I"ve been ther in Albufeira two Weeks ago my Hotel was 10min away from old town i was searching where the Train Station and Bus Station going to other places sad to say i didn't find it and the Hotel worker where i stayed couldnt explain it to me how i get there😔.. I only saw old town and the beach nearbei at Night since i was alone on Vacation.. There is by the way another place i think 10 min with Car from Albufeira where the Huge Hotels are Located there is alot of going on there Parties, Bars are very busy even in the Afternoon there is mor Crowed not for me though i prefer visitng Nice Beaches .
I think the area with the hotels you are referring to is called the Strip. It is the party area of Albufeira. That is the one negative of the area is that the bus and train station are a bit away from the beach. Safe travels and thank you for watching.
Cheers!!!🍻
Hi guys. Great video. You guys mentioned that you don’t eat out much. Do you pack lunches for the day or what do you do generally. Thank you.
Hi Patrick. Generally, we will pack a light snack. On this day we did stop for lunch because we were gone all day. We have also packed lunches when we are doing a beach day as well. Thanks for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
Hi Brian and Carrie,
Would you care to share with me the link to the Airbnb you rented? It looked really nice. I’m planning on going there in February. Thanks
Kevin
Hi, Kevin. We stayed in two locations while we were in the Algarve. Cabanas Taveria and Lagos. Here are the links. Thank you for watching our channel!!
Cheers!!🍻

Yeah but does anyone remember mark and ricardo wwas singers in the carousel hopefully is still there used to to go to portugal at least 3 times a year in my younger days now all changed but now Mark has passed away one of our family friends should i say r.i.p mark don't know where ricardo is now but if anyone as any news please tell thank rachel uk
Sooooo great video... Thanks for it I just noticed it this a.m.
Trip planned for March 7 with sister. Looking at two different airbnbs both at the marina. It's that classified as old Town? It's that a good location? Amsterdam to Lisbon to Albufeira back to amsterdam. Thanks for the heads up on the train. Take traffic to Largo then bus into Albufeira??
And info would be much appreciated.
Planning on picking up rental car in faro.
We just can't decide if we should do Lisbon first or last?
The area around the marina would be a good location in our opinion. Renting a car is a great idea and really easy to do at the airport, no need to stick around Faro but Lagos, Tavira and the Monte Gorda Vila Real area are worth visiting. Taking the ferry over to Spain for sangria is something fun to do from Vila Real. You may have already watched some of our other videos on the Algarve but if you haven't, we really enjoyed the eastern half although it may be a bit slow in March. Have a great trip and safe travels!!
Cheers!! 🍻
PS. The Algarve will be relaxing, and Lisbon will be busy. We would prefer to relax at the end of our vacation. 😀
@@BrianandCarrie do you have any suggestions of accommodation areas in Lisbon??? Haven't got a clue. We're planing on ebike tours and mostly transit or walking because only planning on car rental for Albufeira. Any suggestion would be welcome.
What time you reached Albufeira and what time left ? How was the bus schedule ?
We spent about 6 hours in Albufeira. The buses in Portugal are top of the line and the schedule is pretty reliable. Unlike the train system!!! As always, thank you!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Hi guys!! Luv your videos ... Can I give u a tip? Go to Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile ... Your dollars will last longer down there!! And, btw, I luv Portugal
Hi Celso!! That is a great tip!! When we left the US back in September our original plan was to fly from Spain to Buenos Aires, Argentina for two months before heading through Mendoza to Chile, Peru, and Panama then back to the US for a couple weeks to regroup. But, covid wouldn't allow such a plan. We couldn't get into Argentina at the time. We will get to South America in early 2024 after a tour of southeast Asia. We are loving Portugal!! Thanks for watching!
Cheers!!!🍻
It si Al-Bu-Fei-Ra, not Albufeiria. I do love your videos. always fun.
Thank you for the pronunciation! 😀 Thank you for watching as well!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Georgina pizza is a great restaurant if you are still there
Hi, Jennifer! We went to Eddys and it was pretty good too! Albufeira has a lot to offer. Thanks for the tip and for watching our channel!
Cheers!!!🍻
Hey guys, don't you have recent videos 2023???
Yes, we have a lot of 2023 videos. You can't see them on our home page?
@@BrianandCarrie sorry, which one is it??
I live in charlotte NC. I'm 55 but we definitely plan to retired in either Spain or Portugal!! Great videos and content!!!@@BrianandCarrie
I think I misunderstood you! We don't have any recent videos on Portugal but will say that the Algarve is still our favorite spot if we were to stop traveling for a long stretch of time to relaxe. We love the area.
what was the guy doing filming you at 7:50 lol
Haha! Right!? We were wondering the same thing! 😆😆
Hi. Where is exactly the place at minute 5:35 please?
There is a lookout at the far end of the beach that we came across. Beautiful beach! Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie what is the name of the beach please?
Sorry, not sure of the beach name, but if you look at a map of Albuferia it is the main beach in the town area.
It's the beach in Albufeira. Praia dos Pescadores.
Missing the strip in this video
Non albuferia pas tres authentique et pas la plus belle plage il y a beaucoup mieux c edt trop touristiques et artificiel pour les vacances ca va mais pas pour vivre c edt mieux le nord lisbonne porto la Vallee du douro plus vert
Yes, we really enjoyed Porto and the Douro Valley and there are many places in Portugal that are more authentic. Thank you for watching and for the support.
Cheers!!!🍻
Most Portuguese will keep out of Albufeira. It represents (for many of us) the fake Algarve :)
We can understand that. For us, it would be our 3rd choice of the places we visited. We unfortunately weren't able to get to many places that would be a better fit for what we are looking for. Thanks for watching.
Cheers 🍻
Did yo8 stay overnight? If so, which hotel?
Hi, Linus. We did not. Albufeira was a day trip we took from Lagos.
@@BrianandCarrie , we are thinking about going to Portugal for our 25th wedding anniversary. Would you recommend this town or another?
We did several videos the two months that we were in the Algarve. One video in particular we did will give you a good idea of our overall thoughts on what we liked the most. It's "Best Places to Live in the Algarve" it's a pros and cons of all the places that we visited. Happy anniversary! The Algarve is a great place to celebrate!
Cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie can we chat on Facebook messenger?
Absolutely!
