Faro tourist information


If you’ll decide to travel to Faro we would recommend visiting one of towns oldest streets - Rua Sao Francisco. There you will find very old buildings, pubs and interesting graffiti.

We wouldn’t recommend staying in Faro town, it is very provincial. There are few tourist attractions and places to go out. However the surroundings are perfect to spend passive holidays.
