Where to sleep in Lagos — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Old Town — inside the walls
Cobbled lanes, bars and the market, five minutes from Meia Praia's sand.
Ponta da Piedade side — cliff country
Guesthouses above the golden arches and coves — sunset from your terrace.
Meia Praia — the long beach
Four kilometers of sand east of the marina; flat walks, family ease.
Surf-hostel tip
Lagos is the Algarve's backpacker capital — sociable surf hostels cluster in the old town.
