Inland, the Serra de Monchique is a mountainous park inland, prized for its plants and geology.

Also away from the beach, Zoomarine is a watery-themed family park that brings together theme-park rides and shows featuring the resident marine life, including sea lions and dolphins.

Albufeira Old Town: stroll around the whitewashed villas and narrow, cobbled lanes to find its landmark clock tower, a charming 18th-century parish church and myriad doorways framed by traditional Portuguese ceramics.
