Faro invites you through ancient arches to sea views, sacred relics, and sunlit calm.
Where sea breezes meet ancient walls, Faro is the soulful capital of the Algarve. Begin in the Cidade Velha, stepping through the Arco da Vila into a walled maze of cobbled streets and palm-lined courtyards. Visit the hauntingly beautiful Igreja do Carmo and its Chapel of Bones, then browse the peaceful Museu Municipal, housed in a serene former convent. Stroll the marina at golden hour or sip a cocktail above it at Columbus Bar. Faro blends serenity and intrigue — salt air, historic tiles, and Moorish arches guiding your way.
