Trace Faro’s fortified heritage before embracing Tavira’s relaxing ambiance. Visit two distinct old-world flavors in one day trip, and with the convenience of a tour guide!
Spend two hours exploring Faro’s historic old town, picturesque marina, and lively streets. Then continue to Tavira for another two hours to discover its charming Roman bridge, beautiful churches, and relaxed riverside ambiance. Your guide, who is also a professional driver, manages the journey seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy the rich culture and history of the Algarve with ease.
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.

Enjoy the serenity of Tavira’s impressive gardens, courtyards, and picturesque river.
Your guide will lead you through Tavira’s most iconic sites, including the Ponte Romana (Roman Bridge) and the Riverside Promenade. Here, you can stroll through the heart of town and enjoy views over the water. Then, head to the Castle Ruins and climb to the panoramic gardens. Here, the old water tower projects a 360° view of the entire town. Finally, visit the barrier island beach of Praia do Barril by mini train or footbridge. The island is home to the haunting Anchor Cemetery, an unforgettable and poetic place for photographers to capture. Be sure to try the fig and almond tart at A Ver Tavira for rooftop views.
Faro's walled Old Town (Cidade Velha) contains the 13th-century Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, and the Arco da Vila gateway. Don't miss the macabre Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos) within the Carmo Church, decorated with human skulls and bones. During your 120-minute visit, you can explore these historical sites while enjoying Faro's authentic Portuguese atmosphere away from typical tourist crowds.
Tavira is considered the Algarve's most charming and authentic town, spanning both sides of the Gilao River with a Roman bridge connecting them. Unlike more developed resorts, Tavira maintains its traditional character with over 30 churches, Moorish-influenced architecture, and beautiful tiled buildings. Its quiet, unhurried atmosphere provides a glimpse of genuine Algarve life during your 2-hour visit.
Tavira's beaches are located on the Ilha de Tavira, a sandbar island separated from the mainland. During summer months, regular ferry services transport visitors to these pristine beaches. If beach time is a priority, your driver can advise on ferry schedules and help coordinate your 2-hour Tavira visit to include beach time if desired.
In Faro, try "xerem" (corn porridge with clams) or fresh seafood cataplana. Tavira is known for its octopus dishes and "tuna muxama" (dried, cured tuna). Both cities offer excellent pastries including regional specialties like "Dom Rodrigos" and almond-based sweets reflecting the area's Moorish heritage. Your driver can recommend authentic restaurants serving these local Algarve specialties.
Many travelers only know Faro for its airport, but the city offers authentic Portuguese culture and significant historical sites. The well-preserved medieval quarter, marina area, and natural park of Ria Formosa make it well worth exploring. Your 2-hour visit reveals Faro as a living, working Portuguese city with fewer tourists than other Algarve destinations.
Faro borders the Ria Formosa Natural Park, a system of lagoons and islands that's home to flamingos, spoonbills, and numerous bird species. If wildlife interests you, your driver can suggest viewpoints where you might spot these birds, especially during migration seasons. The park's unique ecosystem adds a natural dimension to your cultural exploration of the eastern Algarve.
