What is good to know if travelling to Faro?

  • The capital of the Algarve is often only visited by people passing through on their way to the resorts of the coast. However, the town has enough of interest to keep holiday makers entertained for at least a few days. 
  • The oldest part of the town, that nearest the beach, is still surrounded by the old city wall. The Arco de la Villa is the oldest and most impressive gateway leading into the town. The neo-classicist arch is a huge monument and was inaugurated in 1812. Today, it is just as impressive. Nearby, the cathedral is also worth a visit. The original cathedral on the site was built in the 13th century, but the one standing at the moment was rebuilt in the 18th. 
  • From the top of the tower are stunning views out across the town and sea. Faro is set on the Formosa Lagoon, with endless islands of sand and long stretches of beach to explore. 
  • Visit the nearby Ilha de Faro, which is linked by a road to the mainland, and enjoy one of the least crowded beaches in the whole of the Algarve. 
  • The town of Tavira is an easy day trip away. It’s a quaint, old town well worth visiting and the journey there is also pleasant – passing orange and fig groves. The town has four beaches as well as two golf courses.
