Artur is a native of Lagos and is remarkably knowledgeable about the area, its history, its geography and its architecture. We were on a two plus hour walk around, mostly Old Town, learning about how the geography has changed, how the earthquake of 1755 affected the people and the tsunami that came after ( which we hadn’t heard about before). We also got some restaurant tips and saw what happened to his high school since he graduated. His English is perfect and you couldn’t have a better guide to learn about Lagos.

Famous sights to visit in a Free Walking Tour Lagos

Exploring Lagos offers a delightful mix of history, culture, and stunning natural beauty. One of the must-see locations is the iconic Ponta da Piedade, a breathtaking coastline characterized by its dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and clear turquoise waters. A walk along the pathways here provides stunning views and opportunities for unforgettable photographs.

Another highlight of any visit is the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira, a 17th-century fortress that once protected the harbor. Today, it serves as a picturesque landmark and a great spot to learn about the city's maritime history. Don't miss the charming streets of the Old Town, where you can wander through cobbled alleys lined with traditional buildings, local shops, and inviting cafes, immersing yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Lagos.

Must-Visit Places on a Walking Tour Lagos in Winter

During the winter months, Lagos transforms into a cozy retreat where visitors can enjoy a quieter side of this beautiful coastal town. A stroll through the Old Town reveals charming plazas adorned with festive decorations, and the local shops offer unique gifts and handcrafted items perfect for holiday shopping. Be sure to stop by the bustling Mercado dos Escravos, where you can learn about the local history and perhaps sample some traditional winter treats like bolos de mel (honey cakes) that provide a sweet taste of Portuguese culture.

The winter season is also an excellent time for family-friendly activities. Kids will love the Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos, an interactive science center that hosts workshops and exhibits designed to engage young minds. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of caldo verde, a comforting Portuguese soup made with kale and potatoes, often enjoyed during the cooler months. With fewer crowds and a relaxed atmosphere, winter walking tours in Lagos offer an intimate experience of this historical gem.
