Pet-Friendly Attractions in Albufeira

The medieval heart of Albufeira, a maze of cobbled streets and white-washed houses tumbling down to the fishermen's beach, with the Igreja de São Sebastião and the Miradouro do Pau da Bandeira viewpoint at the top. Leashed dogs welcome everywhere in the public streets and squares year-round.

A 475-berth marina with a candy-coloured promenade designed by Architect Vasco Vieira, restaurants and boutique shops with dog-tolerant terraces, and the departure dock for dolphin-watching boats. Leashed dogs welcome on the entire boardwalk year-round.

The red-sandstone Moorish castle that crowns the former Algarve capital, 25 km north-west of Albufeira on the N125. Leashed dogs are allowed in the outdoor castle grounds and the surrounding ramparts year-round (entry 2.80 €), but not inside the interior museum buildings.
