Discover Faro

A cultural voyage through the historic heart of the Algarve, its iconic monuments, and serene coastal escapes.

Discover Faro, the vibrant capital of the Algarve, where centuries of history remain preserved within its ancient city walls. Enter through the Arco da Vila, a striking neoclassical gateway that leads into the Old Town, where cobbled streets and whitewashed houses create a timeless atmosphere. Explore key landmarks that reveal the city’s layered heritage, from Roman origins to Moorish influences and Renaissance architecture.

Next, embark on a boat trip to Faro Island, a peaceful coastal retreat surrounded by clear waters and golden sands. It is the perfect place to relax, admire unspoilt nature and enjoy sweeping views of the Algarve coastline.

The final highlight is the Church of São Lourenço, a masterpiece of Portuguese Baroque art. Inside, exquisite blue-and-white azulejo panels depict biblical scenes, while ornate gilded woodwork adds grandeur and elegance. This architectural jewel offers a remarkable ending to a journey filled with culture, history and natural beauty.
