Hotels in Old Town, Albufeira

Old Town is the historic heart of Albufeira on the Algarve coast. It was a fishing village before becoming a major tourist destination in the 1960s. The district is defined by cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and traditional Portuguese architecture. Its central square, Praça da República, is a focal point for visitors.

The area sits atop sandstone cliffs overlooking Fisherman's Beach (Praia dos Pescadores). A tunnel and elevator connect the square directly to the beach below. The main pedestrian street, Rua Cândido dos Reis, is lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. The Old Town is about 3 kilometers from the modern Strip area of Albufeira.
