The Albufeira is famous for its historic architecture, attractive beaches, and party atmosphere. Because of its narrow streets, old architecture, and traditional Portuguese squares, one can experience the history of the town. It was a small Moorish fishing village at one time and there are still remnants of this remaining in some of the older buildings. Besides historical attractions, the well-pronounced coast, namely Praia dos Pescadores, and a great number of restaurants and bars made the city very appealing. That is why the history, culture, and leisure activities in Albufeira are not only interesting.

It is quite feasible to navigate through Albufeira without a car. Many of the individual sights, including the old town, are within easy walking distance of the main sights. Public commuting in the city is possible through the use of public transport in the form of buses that ply different routes within the city and its environs. While going around, there are bicycles for hire as well as e-scooters for faster and more flexible means of transport, more so for the beaches and other relatively remote areas. For longer distances and, particularly, Evening transport, Cabs and private transfers are more flexible. The means of transport connect the city sufficiently, which allows it to orient without its car.

Albufeira is one of the most secure places that a tourist would wish to visit. Even currently, there is not a very high level of criminality, and many police officers are wearing their uniforms, particularly in the hot spots of tourist activity. However, like in any city, it is wise to consider the following measures to enhance one's safety. Guard your person, do not carry round sums of money, and be cautious when in populated areas or at night. In general, you can have a nice time in Albufeira as the city is considered safe and friendly.

Albufeira becomes a fairly “busy” place during the high season mostly because of tourists. The city has been earning its revenue and tourists through its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and vibrant nightlife. Even during the summer and over the weekends, places of interest and tourist attractions often get rather busy. The high number of tourists can also cause congestion on the beach and the roads. That being said, when one goes to the much less explored locations during the off-season, one can always find peace and get a rather realistic experience. The provision of tourist facilities and attractions ensures that both the active and those tourists preferring to avoid either loud sounds or commotion are well catered for.
