Faro's unique attractions
Faro offers so many attractions. During the day, you can admire impressive Roman ruins, and in the evening, you can dive into the vibrant nightlife. Here are a few unique places and activities in Faro that you definitely don't want to miss.
Visit Cidade Velha (old town) and Arco do Repouso
The old walled inner city (Cidade Velha) is the most popular part of Faro. It starts with an impressive entrance at the high city walls that date back to the Middle Ages. In the past, you could enter the old city through 3 entrances, 1 of which was Arco do Repouso. Walking under this arch is like being transported back in time.
Admire the Sé de Faro Cathedral
Without a doubt, the Sé de Faro is the main attraction of the city centre. Faro's Roman Catholic cathedral is located on the Largo da Sé square. Climb the bell tower and enjoy a magnificent view of the city.
Discover Igreja do Carmo
The Igreja do Carmo church is definitely worth a visit. In the Baroque church that's within walking distance from the old town, you will find the Capela dos Ossos, a small chapel decorated with the bones and skulls of monks. It's a unique and impressive experience that you shouldn't miss.
Take a boat trip
Faro has a lot to offer, both in the city and in the surrounding nature. Take a boat trip to Ilha Deserta or Ilha de Culatra, two beautiful islands in the middle of the Ria Formosa nature park. With a bit of luck, you might spot dolphins here! An oyster tour, kayaking, and a special bird-watching excursion are also fun activities to embark on. This way, you can combine a city visit with an outing through the beautiful nature.
Maak kennis met de heerlijke Portugese keuken
From fresh seafood to flavourful cataplanas (a traditional dish with fish or shellfish), Faro's local dishes will tantalise your taste buds. Make sure to also try a feijoada de búzios (shellfish stew), an açorda de marisco (seafood bread), or bacalhau (codfish dish). If you still have an appetite, dip your spoon into a queijo da Serra, a liquid cheese eaten with bread. And then the desserts... Fig and carob cake, sweet potato pie, or almond tart. Delicious!
