Albufeira Travel Forum

Hi we are going to be staying in Old Albuferia later this year, we don't drive and wondered if there is a bus to get us to The Algarve Shopping in Guia, I now that in Villamoura there are free buses several times a day.

Also where is the market in Albuferia? I know of the one in Quateria.

Many thanks Jackie

I can answer both your questions as a resident of Albufeira.

There are free buses from Albufeira's tourist areas three times a day (except Sundays and holidays) but they are available only to clients of certain hotels so far as I am aware.

There are no other direct buses from the main part of town to Algarve Shopping.

It's a 10 minutes bus ride from the main bus station in Albufeira to Algarve Shopping. Buses run at irregular intervals, so please take a look at my personal webpage at www.algarvebus.info/albufeira.htm which also has information about how to get to the bus station (which is on the outskirts of town) and how the buses run to the Algarve Shopping. I have also information about the Albufeira outdoor market, which is next to the same bus station.

A taxi would cost only about 8 Euros by the way.
