guide to faro

Faro is the capital and transportation hub of Portugal’s southernmost region, called the Algarve. During its early history, it was a booming port town, but everything that had built up was reduced to rubble and wreckage after Faro was plundered, sacked, and burned in 1596 by the Earl of Essex’s troops, and then by two massive earthquakes in the 18th century. Slowly rebuilding since then, Faro regained its footing when its airport opened in 1960. Since then, the Algarve region has become Portugal’s most visited tourist resort destination.

For a shopping fix, head to Rua Santo António or Rua Francisco Gomes, two streets in the center of town. Carminho, on Rua Santo António, is a good place to shop for crafts. Nightlife is vibrant in Faro, with many clubs staying open way past traditional closing time. Rua do Prior boasts a take-your-pick collection of cafes, bars, and clubs.

If you’re looking to get out of the bustling resort area during your travels, there are many side trips just a short drive away. Take your rental car 20 kilometers north, through fig groves and pine woods, to São Brás de Alportal, one of the Algarve’s quietest, most tranquil towns, home to many flowers and gardens. Tavira is also a quaint side trip. 30 kilometers away, and situated on the banks of the Ségua and Gilão Rivers, this town is sometimes called “the Venice of the Algarve.”

Another unique getaway is the national park at Ria Formosa Lagoon. The Ria Formosa Lagoon features a nature reserve of over 170 square kilometers, where an amazing array of birds and other wildlife can be seen.

The Museu Ethnografico Regional is a good place to get a sense of the area’s culture and past, with exhibits and photographs depicting the Algarve region’s quainter times as a small fishing village, before the resort development began.

Car hire counters are conveniently located in the Arrivals area of the Faro Airport.
