Faro, capital city of the Algarve, offers so much more than just a landing point in Portugal. It is a city full of history, great shops, restaurants and cafes aplenty, theatres and galleries, great beaches and the Ria Formosa nature reserve on the door step. The central area is really quite compact with everything within easy walking distance.
Things to do
In the city itself, the ‘Cidade Velha’, the oldest part of Faro has many historical attractions and places of interest, such as the Arco da Vila, the Manuel Bivar gardens, the Cathedral and the 17th century Episcopal Palace. There are lots of guided sightseeing tours, a tourist train that gives a great overall view of the city or there are great maps available from the tourist office to go it alone!
