What makes Faro an attractive destination?

Faro serves as the gateway to the Algarve, featuring a charming historic center surrounded by medieval walls, beautiful beaches nearby, and excellent seafood restaurants. The city offers easy access to the stunning coastline, traditional fishing villages, and world-class golf courses.

Does Portugal use the euro?

Yes, Portugal is part of the eurozone. While many places do accept card payments, it is wise to have some money in cash just in case.

How long does the drive from Lisbon to Faro take?

Portuguese highways are well-maintained and clearly marked. The A2 is a modern expressway with good rest stops and fuel stations. Speed limits are strictly enforced, and it is safe to drive any time of day.

What scenic stops can I make along the way?

Can I take a bus from Lisbon to Faro?

Yes, direct buses leave several times a day for Faro. The journey takes between 3 and 4 hours, making it slower and less convenient than a private transfer.
