Portimao, Portugal Cruise Port

• Those interested in learning more about the region's archaeological and ethnographical history should visit the well-known Portimao Museum. It makes constructive and imaginative use of a former sardine cannery to showcase exhibits of archaeological collections that have been found in the region.
   
• Nature lovers and history buffs alike should visit the town's Ocean Revival Underwater Park. The park exists as a result of the sinking of four decommissioned warships that led to the formation of the world's largest artificial reef. It lies about 30 meters under the Atlantic Ocean’s waters.
   
• Fans of motorsports will be thrilled to know that the town is near the Algarve International Race Circuit. The track has hosted numerous motorcycling and automobile world racing championship events. In 2009, the track had the opportunity to host the year’s third round of the Le Mans Series.
   
• Visitors should not miss the opportunity to tour one of the town's best social attractions, the Portimao Marina. It overlooks the Arcade estuary, and its boardwalk boasts of a number of shops, restaurants, cafes, and even some popular pizzerias where local dishes can be found.
