1. Go to the beach
2. Have seafood at Aquario
3. Visit Luz Castle
4. Visit the Church of the Luz
5. Take a stroll on the promenade

id="tip-1"1. Go to the beach

Luz's main beach, known locally as the Praia da Luz, is a paradisiacal stretch of coast layered with golden sands and framed by crystal-clear waters. This spot is perfect for leisurely walks and refreshing swims in the sea. The water is much calmer here than the nearby beaches which makes it perfect for those travelling with children.

id="tip-2"2. Have seafood at Aquario

You cannot leave Luz without trying some authentic Portuguese meals during your stay. We recommend a visit to Aquario. It offers a great atmosphere and an extensive menu of wine that pairs perfectly with the dishes that are served there. This is a culinary experience you are sure to remember fondly. Try the Portuguese steak or the monkfish to enjoy authentic Algarve dining at its best!

id="tip-3"3. Visit Luz Castle

Another amazing travel experience in Luz that we recommend is a visit to the local castle. The Castelo de Senhora da Luz is a historic building constructed in the 17th century. It was originally built to protect the area from attacks by pirates. The indoor arenas are open to the public on special occasions only. With this said, you can still enjoy the beauty of the castle while sitting in the restaurant or the bar located on the grounds!

id="tip-4"4. Visit the Church of the Luz

The Church of Luz, known locally as the Igreja Matriz da Nossa Senhora da Luz, is a beautiful yellow and white church built in the 19th century. The original church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 and was rebuilt by local donations. Though it's a Roman Catholic Church, services for the Church of England are now held there on Sundays as well.

id="tip-5"5. Take a stroll on the promenade

The Luz promenade is one of the best places in the town to take a peaceful stroll while enjoying amazing views. The path is paved with fabulous mosaics and it is lined with palm trees. There are many cafés and bars that you can stop at for a break. They offer the perfect opportunity to spend time simply gazing out across the sea!
