The open-top of your double-decker bus affords you 360 degree reviews of the Old Town around and below you.Check out the main square, with its mix of enchanting old churches, cafés, bars and restaurants. One of the most endearing aspects of Albufeira is it hotchpotch of architectural styles, which are the result of a devastating earthquake during the 18th- century. Consequently, a large amount of local landmarks now display a fusion of architectural styles combined with several centuries-old Moorish sights dotted around the old town. Wander amongst the many cobbled streets at your leisure – and just hop on the next passing bus to take you on to the next attraction.
