Areas to Drink
The Strip is simply bustling, with bars, restaurants, shops and tattoo parlors tightly packed in next to each other, with the sound of commercial dance music can be heard and bar workers ‘touting’ for your custom. Many of the Albufeira bars located on and near the Strip are expat owned and are definitely classed as party bars, expect cheap drinks, very drunk tourist, dancing on bars, drunken antics and lots and lots of stag and hen parties.
The Old Town comes alive in the evening and on into the night. There is always street entertainment, markets, shows or something to that effect going on. The square is surrounded by nice restaurants and cocktail bars with very good live music. Just off the square in every direction are lovely little side street to meander around, feels like there is a little something new around every corner. The old town is a little more sophisticated than the strip however there are still lots of party bars to keep your group entertained.
