Attractions

Faro Old Town

The old town, or Cidade Velha as it is also known, is where a lot of Faro’s historical architecture can be found.  The area is very attractive, with many of the streets cobbled.  The Carmelite church is worth visiting, and the chapel of bones houses the skeletal remains of some 1200 monks.  The city walls remain and are very impressive, particularly the two barbican towers.

Praia de Faro

The beach of Praia de Faro is a little way out of the town of Faro, but it is a spacious and sandy beach that offers plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 

Nightlife

Rua do Prior is the centre of Faro’s nightlife.  Rua do Prior is absolutely packed with bars, nightclubs and pubs that are open long into the night.   Other major areas for bars and restaurants include Rua Infante Dom Henrique.  As a university town, Faro has many students and this has contributed to the variety of the nightlife available. 

Vilamoura

The purpose built resort of Vilamoura is a short distance along the coast from Faro and has a lot to offer it.  Built around a splendid marina, there are numerous outdoor cafes and restaurants from which it sit and watch the activity.  Watersports and golf are popular activities in Vilamoura.  There are also some Roman ruins at Vilamoura. 

Estoi

The town of Estoi is close to Faro and is home to an amazing Palace, which is a fine example of late 19th century architecture.  Close to Estoi are the Roman ruins at Milreu, which visitors interested in history are well advised to visit.
