Visit the Old Town (Cidade Velha) to see the Arco da Vila, Faro Cathedral, and the ancient city walls. Explore the nearby Ria Formosa Nature Park, where you can take a boat trip through the lagoon and see the diverse wildlife. Don’t miss a ferry ride to one of the beautiful barrier islands like Ilha Deserta or Ilha da Culatra.

Faro is a compact city that’s easy to explore on foot, especially in the historic center. Public transportation, including buses and ferries, makes it easy to visit nearby islands, but renting a car is ideal for exploring the wider Algarve region.
