Tavira is romantically located on both banks of the Gilão River, which flows into the Ria Formosa and finally into the Atlantic. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal - which of course everyone can see as they wish. Highlights are the Roman bridge, with its 7 round arches, a Moorish fortress, a generously designed town hall on arcade arches, various museums and around 20 churches.
