Often overshadowed by Algarve giants such as Albufeira and Vilamoura, Faro is a coastal spot brimming with history. Despite its capital status with over 50,000 residents calling the resort home, this fascinating city is often seen as little more than an entry point.
Filled with shopping streets, historic relics everywhere you look and a buzzing nightlife scene, Faro has a lot going for it. Sticking to its Portuguese roots, its medieval quarter remains unchanged with a cathedral dating back to 1251. Away from the city sits Ria Formosa nature reserve, where you can witness more than 270 species of water birds and aquatic creatures – a stark contrast to the city’s busy streets.
