  • If there hadn’t been an endless stream of tourists, the castle and its gardens could be a place of great tranquility. Views of roof tops and the river were good.

  • Definitely worth a visit. Free entrance to the lovely gardens and old walls, with nice views over Tavira. WC also available inside. Has an access via a stairway from downtown and another via the main gate from 'uptown'. Nearby but limited parking...
  • Castelo de Tavira is beautiful!! I came here during golden hour, and the views and lighting were stunning. There is a courtyard with beautiful flowers and plants, and then you climb on the top of the walls of the Castle to see a 360 view of Tavira.
