Things to do in Faro Town when visiting

Faro is a city full of culture, history, and sights to see, often overlooked by holidaymakers heading straight to the beach resorts. Whether you’re staying in Faro or just visiting on a day trip, be sure to take in some of the fascinating churches such as the macabre bone chapel at Igreja do Carmo - The chapel is decorated with the bones and skulls of several hundred monks. Don’t miss a visit to the city’s ancient Se Cathedral too, with its amazing views over the city.

Other architectural treasures in Faro include the neoclassical Arco da Vila gate; the entrance to the walls guarding Faro’s old town. While the Palácio de Estoi offers gardens full of grottos, fountains, and beautiful tiles, ready to be explored.

If it’s beaches you’re after, Faro will spoil you for choice. Head straight to the Praia de Faro, where you’ll find wide-sweeping sands and a handful of bars, or take a boat trip to the Ilha Deserta, a sand island in the Rio Formosa National Park whose only residents are the local flamingoes.

Popular restaurants within Faro

If you’re keen to try some of the local cuisine, head over to A Venda restaurant; here you can sample good, home-style cooking in a retro setting hidden away in the back streets. For a special night out, book a table at elegant Faz Gostos, where you can dine on excellent, French-influenced Portuguese dishes. For a meal with a great atmosphere, go to Faro’s Mercado Municipal; an indoor market selling fresh produce and filled with terraces and cafes.

When to go when visiting Faro?

Faro is a student city, giving it a buzzing, lively nightlife that won’t cost holidaymakers a fortune. Many of the bars can be found along Rua de São Pedro, Rua Conselheiro Bívar and Rua do Prior. One of the most popular is Columbus bar, which offers some of the best-mixed cocktails in the city.

For a night of dancing, Faro’s biggest nightclub is Kadoc, which boasts international acts and DJs. T-Clube is another good venue and a more sophisticated place for a night out.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
