Sagres Fortress

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.

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.

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.

The views are amazing! We even spotted a dolphin. Not very expensive and free for nationals. It could be in a better state however, namely with the painting of the structures and be more interactive. I really liked it though, for the walk and the atmosphere.

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.

Museum interesting. But not much to see about structure of fort. Taking walk around outside paths is very worthwhile.

A special place, with high cliffs that are different from those of the rest of Algarve. The view is amazing and you really perceived being in the most south-west spot of EU. Very nice!

Worth it, period! You gonna see many people saying is expensive, but was a great experience, nice walk and beautiful pictures taken, there is a museum inside with great storytelling about Sagres and Portugal expeditions.
