Faro is one of the more heavily trafficked Portugal cities. As the major transportation hub for the Algarve, many travelers book cheap flights to Faro as an entryway to the coastal Algarve towns and resorts. Those with a few extra hours to spare will find plenty to do in Faro. Packed full of charm and charisma, Faro is one of Portugal’s more lively cities. While it still captures the essence of an old fishing port, today’s Faro is more modern with historical influences blended in.
Take a breather after your flight to Faro and hop a trolley to Old Town for a glimpse at medieval artifacts and Roman ruins. Stroll into the Igreja do Carmo, a ghostly chapel decorated with the bones of monks buried at a nearby cemetery. Save the beaches for the resort towns in the Algarve – instead, visit some of Faro’s museums including the archaeological Municipal Museum and the local maritime museum. Helpful hint: have an early morning Faro flight? Spend a night in the city and hit the town. Faro has great restaurants and an attractive bar scene so you can explore the nightlife and still make your Faro flight in the morning.
