Unique panoramic view through the camera obscura. Well worth the 5. Come here first to get an informative overview of Tavira. Opening hours vary, so better to just go and check (we went on a Sunday). Bonus: if you're on the roman bridge or castle, and you can see the camera on the water tower, people inside can see you.

This camera obscura is far better than the one I saw in Greenwich- London. It is larger, has more detail and is not stationery. It is a great way of seeing the city and the landmarks.
Worth a visit for the novelty value alone, stunning real time views around the town. Informative and humourous talk given by the host makes for an interesting experience. WARNING! If you think your roof terrace/balcony is completely private it may just be worth paying a visit here first.
Very nice place to visit in Tavira, very friendly guide. I recommend for both adults and kids.
Definitely felt like it was worth the 5 per adult for the tour! Our (English language) guide was great & knows the town so well, it’s a perfect way to get an idea of how you want to spend your time there! But also a bit about the history of the town. It’s not like a regular digital camera - because it’s using a lens & mirror the “resolution” is like nothing you’ve ever seen before! Would 100% definitely recommend as one of the first things you do in Tavira, maybe just after cooling down with an ice cream nearby!
A fun and interesting to way to see the beautiful town of Tavira. Especially fun for kids see the outside projected on the inside, its like magic! 5 euro to get in.
Great experience! Impressive views of Tavira.
A lovely, however a bit short tour in an old water tank. They basically created a camera device to display Tavira city onto a spheric surface. The guide was nice and told some interesting facts about Tavira city. A bit pricy for what you get (4 per ticket), knowing that in Edinburgh there is the best camera obscura in Europe for 16, however on top of that there are 6 floors of various expositions, which I found a lot more interesting.
