Silves

Silves Castle: Red Sandstone Ruins & Ancient Moorish History

4.8 (259)

Walk the red sandstone walls of this fortress for the best views over the Algarve orange groves. Spend two hours exploring the deep cisterns and the inner keep before the heat kicks in. Skip the crowded midday tours; a private jeep safari offers better context on the town's history than wandering solo. Grab a local cider at the cafe outside the gates once you finish. It beats a beach day any time.

Address: Silves, The Algarve
