Learn more about Faro

Beyond the cobblestone streets of the old town, where azulejo-tiled buildings frame sun-drenched plazas, Faro reveals itself as more than just a gateway to the Algarve. Climb the cathedral tower for views that explain why Romans, Moors, and everyone since has coveted this coast. Boat tours glide through Ria Formosa lagoon where flamingos wade with aristocratic poise among pristine islands. The marina buzzes with cafés serving fresh seafood that was likely swimming that morning. Forum Algarve Mall offers retail therapy when beach days need a break. Don't miss the macabre Chapel of Bones, where monks created an oddly beautiful meditation on mortality using thousands of human remains.
