The Algarve can
be easily reached from anywhere in continental Europe. A superb network
of new motorways and dual carriageways allow for trouble free motoring
through attractive areas of southern Portugal. Apart from major holiday
periods there is not a problem with traffic congestion.
The IP1 motorway from Albufeira to Spain has relieved the old N125,
which became very congested during the summer. Roads branch off to
beaches, coastal towns and inland villages.
Air travel is certainly the most comfortable and fastest way to get to
the sun drenched Algarve. Faro airport is only 3 hours from most
European destinations. Passengers using the airport as a gateway to the
Algarve, will find a modern terminal building located only 4 kilometres
from downtown Faro.
Travelling by train is also an option, since Portugal is part of the
European rail network and can easily be reached from most of the
European capitals.
Last, but not least, you can reach the Algarve through the many ports and marinas spread all along the south Portugal coast.
