3. Visit Lagos’ Centro Ciência Viva

A nice science museum may be found in the heart of Lagos if you’re on vacation with your family and want to get out of the midday sun.

This describes all the developments that made the Portuguese Age of Discovery possible and is located in Casa Fogaça, a manor home from the eighteenth century.

There are interactive exhibits that cover astronomy, shipbuilding, and cartography.

These are integrated with more general exhibitions on science and technology, and interested kids can explore the educational playground in the courtyard, learn how to utilize morse code, operate 3D printers, and create their own radios.

4. Visit Street Art

 

Lagos is the place to go if you like street art! especially if you’d want to relax at one of the many stunning beaches nearby after going on a street art expedition.LAC (Laboratorio de Actividades Criativas), a cultural organization that has organized ARTURb (Artistas Unidos em Residencia), a project that brings some of Europe’s most well-known street artists to live and work temporarily in Lagos, is entirely responsible for Lagos’ dynamic street art culture.

Aryz’s magnificent painting of a skeleton with some photographic skills was the first mural on my list, and I crossed the drawbridge there after a leisurely brunch at the harbor. In this 2014 mural named “Tempus Fugit,” Aryz reflects on how time is fleeting and how life’s transient joys must be savored in the moment by experimenting with transparency, light, shadow, and depth. Save the day.

Final Toughts

Lagos has become so well-known due to its pristine shorelines, golden-orange cliffs, and Atlantic beaches. It’s one of the Algarve’s best towns.

These beaches provide ideal coastal pleasures to their guests and are renowned for their breathtaking scenery, which is admired around the world.Travellers might find boutique hotels and extraordinary facilities here. 

The adventurous visitor can take part in water and air activities like paragliding and snorkelling. When visiting the Algarve, make sure to take a guided tour of the Benagil cave, Dolphin Watching tour, and a Sagres Coastal Tour.

Since the majority of the beaches in this area are lordes and protected by high cliffs, they have calm waters and are a good choice for families vacationing with young children
