Activity itinerary

Miradouro de Silves
  • 5m
Our tour takes you past some of the highlights of the city of Silves. Here you can see, for example, the "Ponte Romana", the old bridge of the city, the Moorish Castello, to the former mosque of the current cathedral of the city. You will learn a lot of interesting facts and historical facts about the former capital of the Algarve and its historical importance. Depending on the weather situation, our tour leads south/west along the Rio Arade towards Portimao or north towards Monchique. On both routes you will enjoy unique impressions that will fascinate you with the flora of the Algarve with its many different trees and plants. Our routes lead over narrow mountain passes to incredible places where great photo perspectives await you. But don't worry. The adrenaline rush doesn't stop there. Many of our customers say this tour is the "most romantic roller coaster" ride they have ever experienced.
Castelo de Silves
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Castle of Silves Fotopunkt (A motif straight out of a fairy tale) Built on a hilltop in the region's reddish sandstone, the castle, in an irregular rectangular plan, consists of a crenellated ring of walls with several half-height towers, but only one gate, in front of which is a bronze statue of King Sancho I.
Silves Cathedral
  • 5m
The earthquake of 1755 destroyed the city so badly that 14 residents were killed in the cathedral. The reconstruction of the almost completely abandoned city, whose ruined buildings were used as quarries, took more than a century
Ponte Romana
  • 5m
Ponte Velha, Roman bridge south of the town, a dreamy place that invites you to linger
Rua da Cruz de Portugal
  • 5m
At the eastern end of the town is the Cross of Portugal, an approx. 3 m high cross made of light-colored limestone with late Gothic and Manueline motifs. Christ is depicted on one side of the cross, and a pieta on the other. It is believed to have been created in the 15th century, but its exact provenance is unknown.
Barragem do Arade
  • 5m
The Arade Dam (Portuguese Barragem do Arade) is located in the Faro district of the Algarve region of Portugal. It dams the river Arade to a reservoir (port. Albufeira da Barragem do Arade). The town of Silves is located about eight kilometres southwest of the Arade dam. Upstream is the Funcho dam. The Arade Dam was built from 1944 to 1956 during the reign of António de Oliveira Salazar.[1][2] It is used for irrigation and, to a lesser extent, for electricity generation. The dam is owned by the Associação de Regantes e Beneficiários de Silves, Lagoa e Portimão.[3]
