English Fireworks and summer festivities on Praia dos Pescadores.
Albufeira is the Algarve's best-known beach resort: a whitewashed old town above Praia dos Pescadores, with the ochre cliffs of Falésia and the coves of São Rafael just minutes away. With Zonetransfers, your driver meets you in Terminal 1 arrivals with a name sign and heads to Albufeira with no stops, from €299 per vehicle.
It is motorway all the way: over the 25 de Abril Bridge, south on the A2 across the Alentejo plains and then west on the A22 to the Albufeira exit. Your driver drops you at your Falésia resort, in Oura or next to the old town. The journey covers roughly 260 km and 2 h 30 min by private transfer, with the whole vehicle from €299. Zonetransfers sends your voucher with a 24/7 phone number.
