Located on Portugal's beautiful Algarve coast, surrounded by stunning beaches, cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, Lagos is a perfect party destination. Lagos is renowned for its vibrant nightlife scene and offers a wide range of bars, clubs, and music venues including beachside bars where you can enjoy cocktails at sunset to high-energy nightclubs. We also like the fact it is pretty affordable compare to other European coastal cities.
