Nearby Albufeira is a popular town for a day trip, offering an old town full of charming churches and cobbled streets, and its buzzing nightlife that starts up in the evenings. If the kids are looking for some excitement, the nearby Zoomarine amusement park provides plenty! Come for the animals, waterslides and rides, or catch a movie at the 4D cinema.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023
At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.
For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
