    Hi, My siblings and I are looking at booking a week in Albufeira with our folks for our dad's 60th. We can't decide whether to go the first week in september or the first week in October. October is so much cheaper but I'd be worried that there mightn't be much of a scene around the place then. We don't want a mad holiday but would like to be able to have the choice to go to night clubs or just relax in the old town at a nice restaurant or bar. When would be the more practical time for us to go in this case?

    Thanks a Million

    I was there in early September and it was great, still really lively and hot. I wouldn't go in October.

    I've been there a few times and was there in October a few years ago. The weather was okay (about 22-23C) but yes, a lot of places had closed up for the season. I'd say go in September OP. Weather will be better then too.

    Thanks for your response. Was there still many places open? which did you prefer, old town or new town?

    Have been going to vilamoura every sep/oct for the last 10 years(golfing) weather can be very hit and miss in October but generally around 21/22 degrees last year it was 28 but the year before lashed every day
    Sept is definitely better
    Albuferia will be quiet though not as busy as vilamoura as it's peak season for golf when the marina is packed every night

    The Albufeira season typically runs from mid-May to mid October. Restaurants/Bars start to close for the winter from 3rd week of October. We've always got lovely weather in October. Last year we had 26 degrees and were down at the beach every day and that was the last week of October. The previous year we had 3 mornings of rain out of 10 days and the temperature was 22 degrees, still shorts/t-shirt weather. Late September / Early October is still a nice atmosphere with plenty of people about

    Have a look on the albufeira website for accurate weather reports...topic started a couple of years back.
