Sagres Fortress

Great place to come and visit. The views are amazing. We came on the 3rd January, it was very windy to say the least, this added to the whole experience. What didn't add to the the experience was the biblical amount of rain that came down just as we were leaving🤣🤣. There is a good bit of educational areas showing the history of Portugal. A local church which was closed plus a gift centre. Entrance fee is €10. Per adult.

Very nice experience. Entrance was free for Portuguese resident, and it cost me 10€ as a tourist. The whole screams history, if this is the thing you are looking for. There is an area with ancient maps showing how the earth was seen in 1430 to 1460s. And interesting description of parts of the boats. Nice descriptions of wildlife and plants. Nice labyrinth and grotto with ocean sounds. Amazing pictures. But please be advised. The walk outside from the entrance until the furthest point and back to the entrance takes approximately 1h30 to 2h00. It is HIGHLY windy, so much that it is difficult to walk and can cause ear pain. Even if in the city it is 30C it will feel like 20C on your walk. The way is done well but I advice you to wear closed shoes. And ladies, please avoid skirts as the wind is so wild that the skirt will be every else and on protecting out private parts (my lesson is learned). Take a jacket, get some water and put sunscreen because even though it is windy, the sun hits.

Really nice place for a walk,people are kind but the weather a bit windy as this place has been a fort,so i guess its normal. "Wind" Jacket requires,in my opinion.

A lovely place to go for a walk with beautiful ocean views, the Sagres beaches and of the cliffs leading off to Cape St Vincent. The fort itself is an interesting bonus. If you like walking on a good level surface with views for up to an hour, don't miss this.

The site is NOT temporarily closed as google says. Free for locals but not for tourists. There isn't much information around the site, so I advise going to the museum first, before walking around, to learn the context and history. There is no cafe to sit in so if it rains, you get very wet and cold.

Fascinating fort ordinating in the 1450's. Restored and made very interesting with the many information boards. Some original drawings were done by Sir Francis Drake's crew! You can walk right out to the end of the spit of land (effectively the most south west part of Europe. Cliffs and views are stunning. Entry fee is 5 € each adult. Most of the headland route is wheelchair and pushchair suitable.

Late 18th century fort on the site of an earlier fortification. Site of a famous navigation school. Cheap entry €10 for a family. You need to enter the fort to be able to access the walks beyond and to see the views. Parking is free. Nice family activity.

Fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean. This point is called as Entry point to the Europe (Southwest). The views on both sides of this fort are so spectacular that it makes the visit worth to travel some extra miles if you are visiting the Algarve region. There is ample free parking available. The tickets cost €10 per adult but if you are family (1 Adult plus 1 minor) then it costs you €5 Euros. It typically takes 1-1.5 hour to walk inside the fort. It is very windy from the parking lot and the wind increases as you climb up the fort.
