Finishing holidays, when taking a flight back to your home country you may need to present a negative Covid19 test. Here we will tell you some places in the Algarve where you can make your Covid19 test, with prices for PCR and Antigen, in the cities of Faro, Portimão, and Beja.

Firstly, you need to check information about what kind of test your country accepts: if it is enough to do an Antigen test or if it is mandatory the do a PCR test. For example, for flights from Portugal to Germany, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, an antigen test is sufficient. Other countries require a PCR test. In Portugal, the Antigen test costs ~30€, while a PCR test costs ~100€.

Secondly, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance with the laboratory where you want to do the test. Do not forget to consider that the PCR test takes at least 24h until you receive the result, and consider the weekends and holidays, when some laboratories may not work.
