Hotels in Lagos City Centre

If you want something near Porta da Vila, you could consider the Aqualuz. Using the foot path and tunnel under the main arterial ring road, you can be within the walls within 7-8 minutes.

Also have a look at Casa da Moura. I was in there for the first time recently and its quite nice and within the city walls.

Travel from lisbon to alvor

There is only one bus company offering a service from Lisbon to Alvor.

this is: http://www.renex.pt

If you are arriving at 18:00, by the time you clear customs, immigration, collect your bags and get a cab to the bus station, the only suitable bus will be the departure at 21:00 arriving 01:05.

This bus departs from Lisbon Gare Oriente Bus Station.

You can take the Aeroshuttle from outside the airport terminal to Gare Oriente.(CARRIS Nº96) - Available everyday, every 30 minutes between 7am and 11pm, the aeroshuttle connects the Airport with Gare Oriente.

The bus will stop in the centre of Alvor but at 01:05 there may be few taxis around.
