Algarve Portugal Travel Guide | Benagil Cave, Faro, Real Costs & Tips!

Algarve Portugal looks like one of Europe’s most beautiful coastal regions, but what is it actually like to visit on a day trip from Lisbon? After traveling to more than 58 countries, I drove from Lisbon to the Algarve Region with my family and visited Benagil Beach, Benagil Cave, Faro Portugal, and Portimao Portugal in one long day. What I experienced was beautiful, but also crowded, fast-paced, tiring, and very different from the perfect photos you usually see online. This is my honest Algarve Portugal travel guide with real costs, travel tips, Benagil Cave reality, Faro walking route, Portimao impressions, transportation options, mistakes to avoid, and whether the Algarve is really worth visiting from Lisbon.

In this Algarve travel vlog, I show you what it is really like to visit Benagil Cave Portugal, one of the most famous sea caves in Europe. We started early from Lisbon, drove along the A2 Motorway, joined a 45-minute Benagil caves boat tour from Benagil Beach, explored the Algarve coast, passed Arco da Praia da Corredoura, Gruta Dos Algarinhos, Arcos Naturais da Praia da Mesquita, and Praia da Marinha, and saw how crowded the area can get during the busy season.

This video also includes a Faro Portugal travel guide with things to do in Faro Portugal, including Rua Da Marinha, Rua de Santo António, Palacete Belmarço, Arco do Repouso, Praça de D. Afonso III, Museu Municipal de Faro, Sé Catedral de Faro, Paço Episcopal de Faro, Câmara Municipal de Faro, Porta Árabe, Igreja da Misericórdia, Arco da Vila, Jardim Manuel Bivar, Rua Conselheiro Bivar, and the Faro marina area. I also share our lunch experience at À do Pinto, parking costs, food prices, coffee prices, and whether Faro Algarve is worth adding to your Portugal travel itinerary.

At the end of the day, we also made a quick stop in Portimao Portugal before driving back to Lisbon Airport. I share our real Algarve day trip costs, including car rental, fuel, parking, Benagil Cave tour prices, Faro food costs, FlixBus alternatives, Lisbon to Algarve tour prices, Faro to Benagil Cave tour options, kayak rentals at Benagil Beach, and my honest opinion on whether I would do this Algarve day trip again.
