Silves

Siéntase libre de explorar a su propio ritmo y descubrir

Parada: 2 horas - entrada no incluida

Discover Silves’ Moorish legacy, sunlit castle walls, and the scent of orange trees in bloom. Once the Moorish capital of the Algarve, Silves is a city of crumbling red-stone ramparts, orange blossoms, and timeless views. Start your visit at the Castelo de Silves, wandering its impressive walls for sweeping vistas over the Arade River. Just below, explore the haunting Silves Cathedral, where Gothic arches meet Moorish echoes. Don’t miss the Municipal Museum of Archaeology, built around a medieval cistern. Stroll down Rua da Cadeia Velha, with its citrus trees and old-world charm, then relax by the riverfront with a glass of cold medronho or a bite of frango piri-piri and sticky Dom Rodrigo.

Monchique

Siéntase libre de explorar a su propio ritmo y descubrir

Parada: 2 horas - entrada no incluida

Breathe in pine-scented mountain air, spa steam, and panoramic views from Portugal’s peaceful highlands. Begin at Caldas de Monchique, a forested spa town with mossy paths and natural springs. Continue up to the Miradouro da Foia, the Algarve’s highest point, for coastal views stretching to Sagres. If you’re feeling active, stroll the PR5 trail or lose yourself among cork oaks and eucalyptus. In Monchique village, enjoy handmade crafts, quiet stairways, and tiled fountains. Don’t leave without tasting porco preto, local goat cheese, and a sip of fiery medronho or herbal pennyroyal liqueur.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Know more about your day trip

Silves is home to one of Portugal's best-preserved Moorish castles, with its distinctive red sandstone walls offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. You'll also explore the Gothic cathedral (Se), archaeological museum, and medieval streets that reflect the town's importance as the former Moorish capital of the Algarve region.

Monchique offers a refreshing contrast to coastal Algarve with its mountain scenery, cooler microclimate, and lush vegetation. This charming hill town is known for its thermal springs, handcrafts (especially wooden chairs), local medronho (fruit brandy) production, and access to Mount Foia, the highest point in the Algarve at 902 meters, offering spectacular panoramic views.

The drive from Carvoeiro to Silves takes approximately 20 minutes (about 15 km). Continuing to Monchique adds another 30 minutes (25 km). Your private driver handles all transportation through the scenic countryside, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey without navigating unfamiliar roads or finding parking.

Absolutely! Both destinations offer authentic regional cuisine. In Silves, try traditional Algarvian dishes in restaurants near the castle. Monchique is famous for its unique mountain gastronomy, including dishes with wild boar, fresh mushrooms, and chestnuts. Don't miss local specialties like chicken piri-piri and traditional sweets made with almond and fig.

Spring (March-May) offers comfortable temperatures and blooming wildflowers, while fall (September-November) provides pleasant weather and harvest activities. Summer visitors will appreciate Monchique's cooler mountain climate as a refreshing break from coastal heat. Winter brings fewer tourists and occasional rainy days, but remains mild compared to northern Europe.

Yes, Monchique is renowned for its natural spring water, particularly from Caldas de Monchique spa. You can taste the mineral-rich water believed to have therapeutic properties. Some springs have drinking fountains where visitors can fill bottles. The Agua de Monchique brand is also bottled locally and available throughout Portugal.

Dress in comfortable layers, as temperatures can vary between coastal Carvoeiro and mountainous Monchique. Wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring cobblestone streets in Silves and potential light hiking in Monchique. In summer, bring sun protection for Silves' open castle grounds, while in winter, a light jacket is advisable for Monchique's cooler elevation.
