What to See and Do in Portimao
Essentially commercially orientated, Portimao’s town church, dating back to 1476, is its oldest building.
The Municipal Museum, housed in a former sardine canning factory, has regular historical, cultural and arts exhibitions.
The footbridge, by which one enters Portimao from the direction of Faro, is something to behold. Indeed, it is considered one of the most secure and aesthetically pleasing bridges built in Portugal in the 19th century.
The marina, Marinha do Portimao, is attached to Praia da Rocha and presents a wealth of bars, sophisticated restaurants and exclusive boutiques. There are also many inexpensive establishments, where the local speciality - charcoal-grilled sardines - may be sampled, complete with colourful harbour views.
Praia da Rocha, right next to Portimao, is an exclusive and cosmopolitan beach resort that offers a wide range of activities, including a casino.
