## Neighborhood

Our apartment is located in a residential neighbourhood located to the west of the old town center. The town centre and marina are about 15 minutes walking away, and a small shopping mall and various supermarkets are just around the corner. The big commercial centre and Aqua shopping mall are just 5 minutes by car or about 30 minutes walking from here. From Faro airport, it takes about 40 minutes by car/taxi.

Portimão is a lively and historic beach town. You can find several gorgeous beaches, bars, restaurants and shops, and Portuguese folklore in the small streets of the old town in abundance. When you're done relaxing in the sun, you can choose from many activities in the area, like watersports, boating, hiking (mountain biking), and golfing, at one of the many golf resorts in the area. There is a modern shopping centre available as well.

Although you can easily entertain yourself for some time in Portimão, it is also a perfect central location to explore other towns and beaches and the small mountains and landscapes of the inland Algarve. For such trips a (hire) car is ideal, but you will be able to get around with public transport and guided tours.

## Transit

You can get to the apartment in 50 minutes by car and about 3 hours by public transport from Faro airport. The beach is within walking distance.

If you want to explore the area, a (rental) car will make your life much easier as public transport is limited but it will also get you around. In Portimão town you can easily walk to most of the destinations, or use public transport as well. There are taxis and Ubers available.
