If you're in the area, this is a must-sea. Ha. This is literally what they thought was the end of the world back in the "olden days." At the very southern peak of Portugal is the Sagres Fortress, protecting the world from... whatever may come. The sea expands all around you and it is no wonder that they thought this was the end of the world, I could have sworn myself that once one hits those clouds at the end that one will most definitely fall off the world. The most interesting part is that it is actually possible to see the curvature of the earth. Incredible. The sunset is amazing, but don't expect to be able to go past the fortress for the sunset, as they close around 8 pm. However, right next to it, there is plenty of sitting space for those who wish to see it. Many tourists hang out there taking multiple pictures until it's dark. There is plenty of parking and the area is well lit once it's dark. I absolutely loved it.

Magical place with gorgeous view and history. Worth the trip, 3€ to enter, nice shop with bathroom, prepare for long walk around the fortress. The downside is that the touristic information on the plaques is already degraded, so check out wikipedia beforehand. But 10/10 would recommend!

100% worth the 3 Euros admission fee. The combination of the historical significance of this fortress and the cliff views is amazing and moving. When you’re here, take your time to stroll around - walk to the lighthouse, take pictures along the cliffs, watch the fishermen, and wonder on top of the fortress!

A great walk around the extensive peninsula area inside the fortress. Aside from the walls at the entrance, not much else to see than cliff sea views and flowering plants in spring.

Loved the desolation. The cliffs, sea and views are magnificent. Definitely a worth the visit and stroll around the whole area. Visit the lighthouse as well. Take a windbreaker, trust me

Beautiful area to walk around with beautiful scenery. It costs 6 Euros for a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children): August 2022 prices - well worth it. Allow 45-60 minutes at least!

Don't br fooled when you get there into thinking there is nothing to see when you get there. There is a lovely coastal walk with dramatic cliff faces and scenery. If you do the perimeter walk it's a leisurely 1 hour walk It was only €3 entrance fee. We'll worth a visit. I've never seen fishermen fishing like this before

The place is very open. We spent around 2 hours here and took a walk around. The place it accessible with a wheelchair but the walkway is a bit bumpy. Has a lot of parking slots available from which we had a very nice view at the beach and the surfers 🏄‍♂️.

Entrance was 3 euros and it is well worth it. The walk around took us about 2 hours in the end. Lots of great views of the coast line and it was a great day out.

Has to be seen to be appreciated. Worth the effort to get out from Lagos. Bring good walking shoes. The surfing here looked doable, too, but chilly. Beach is also worth a gander. Lots of hiking for the more adventurous.

Amazing building and views around the fort are just MAJESTIC. Visitor museum is very good also.... Not alot to do in the small town after the fort but still worth the trip.

Very impressive historical fortress. Reasonable entry cost and a vast area you can walk around. Interesting museum but rather disturbing that the only real reference to the slave trade (On which Portuguese trade was based) is about ships being "converted to carry large numbers of people". No cafe/restaurant available on site, just 3 vending machines!

Interesting place to visit, but hard to appreciate its importance or historical significance as there was very little legible signage to tell you what you’re looking at. I try would have been great if they added more photos, or exhibits that displayed what the fortress looked like in its day, and how it was used, maybe even a map of how the space was used. All in all, it’s still an interesting place to visit, with amazing views of the coast line, and the castle still lends a lot to the imagination.

Very cool place to walk around and soak in some history. It's also neat to see some local fishermen casting their lines off the cliff side. A great place to spend some time and enjoy Sagres.

It costs €3 per adult to get in. It looks quite dangerous for an active toddler so we didn’t pay to get in. There is free parking around 100 meters away from the entrance. Outside of the gate, the area is great for a walk but it is not covered or shaded. It could be quite hot.

Definitely worth a visit. Breathtaking views and lovely walk around the fort. Cute little curio shop inside. No shade, so make sure you wear sunblock, hat and sunglasses. Very reasonably priced, €3 per person or €6 for a family of 4.

The fortress is minimal, however the history is interesting plus the walk and views with added information on wildlife, plants was excellent. The chamber of sound installation is just brilliant.

Well worth the entrance fee. Lovely walk and gorgeous view. Watching people fish off "the end of the world" was so cool. Good information plaques and the gift shop was very cute. Parking is far (in US terms) from the entrance just be aware.

Good walks the cliffs. Very good views. The fortress is basic, not too impressive. Interesting exhibition of the portuguese navigator's journeys around the globe.

Beatiful place, with some artifacts that takes you back in time. The landscapes are amazing with unique views of the clifs and sandy beaches. Ticket is €3 but it wourth the visit.

Very nice place to visit. The things are distant from each other so be prepared to walk in under the sun 🌞. Bring water and cover your skin. I had my 8 and 11 year old kids and it was fun and exciting. There's toilets if needed. Plenty of ground to cover. You might find some fisherman. If you talk with them you might learn a lot from the area. There's a gift shop at the end that has nice things and design products.

Amazing for the history and for the views. The cliff fishermen blew our minds. 100 feet up from the ocean on a cliff, fishing. Wow! The walking area is fairly expansive and really gives a sense of the operation of days of old. While visiting, don't forget to bring your swim gear for the local Sagres beaches.

The fortress area coincides with Sagres Point, a windswept, barren, flat promontory on high cliffs over the ocean. There is only one wall facing inland, fencing off the whole promontory. The ticket to enter the fortress (and to see the promontory and its views) is 3€. I found the fortress buildings totally uninteresting: a mixture of 15th, 18th century and modern styles; plain and bare architecture, very limited historical background. You can walk up and tour the top of the walls, which helps enjoying the views on the cliffs. I totally enjoyed the natural landscape: magnificent views on the surrounding cliffs, beaches, ocean. You can see as far as Cabo de Sao Vicente in the distance. The promontory is swept by strong, cool winds. I visited in late July and I did struggle. The weather in Sagres and particularly in its promontory is much cooler than the south coast of Algarve. Take a sweater or a windbreaker with you.

Absolutely worth the drive! The Sagres Fortress will provide hours of exploration and insight. The views are breathtaking from the cliff high above the ocean with views of the ocean, cliffs, and town surrounding all sides of the o fortress. The museum is moderate and size and has multi-lingual displays with many interactive technologies(some exhibits have advanced technology, such as a 3D LED topographical map, which I have yet to see used in museums of this size). The grounds are extensive. I recomend bringing comfortable shoes and a windbreaker as the temperature in the Summer is often much cooler than the rest of the Algarve(an excellent way to beat the Summer heat).

Definitely worth the visit when one's around. Slow tour can take up to 2h. Besides the views one can visit the informative exhibition, walk the walls, rest at the church. The parking is free and tickets moderately priced at 3 EUR.

It is an interesting place as well as knowing that the European continent ends right there. You can walk around and relax, however paying for a place that doesn't have any maintenance, seems a bit expensive to me, since there are other "similar" places in Portugal that you can visit for free. Is basically pay a price to walk a loop.

When you arrive, you really feel like you are at the end of the world. Just let yourself be submerged by the immensity of the ocean, the wildness of the ocean and the rawness of the cliffs. Inside you will find an interesting museum about the Portuguese conquest of the world from the 15th century. This is huge so there's a lot of walk. You can easily spend an hour or two in there.

Outstanding experience. A wind and chill even in the summer, so take a jumper/jacket. It's surprisingly cheap and has many stunning views and historical points to look at. Well worth the trip. There are also some stunning beaches close by.

An incredibly interesting place to visit. A unique place with amazing views and great interpreted walking path. There was an art showcase during our visit. Worth the trip from Lagos.
