Your ideal Faro city break might mean exploring the old town's Moorish and
medieval remains. If you're looking for somewhere peaceful, relax on a quiet
beach east of Faro in cobbled Tavira. Or head west of Faro for a golfing city
break in Quinta do Lago and nights out in lively Albufeira.
Dining and unwinding on Faro city breaks
Start your Faro city break with cold Sagres beers or a coffee in Faro's
old-town cafes. Join locals lingering over lunches of fresh fish skewers and young
vinho verde green wine. Or head to resorts near Faro on your city break
for spicy piri-piri chicken and world cuisine from Italian to Indian. In
Vilamoura Marina and exclusive Quinta do Lago you can splash out
at Michelin-starred restaurants, a treat on your Faro city break.
Special places to stay in Faro
On your city break in Faro, stay in the city centre to spend time discovering its
narrow streets of white-washed houses. You'll find Faro is also a good base
for exploring the Algarve with easy access to the motorway, trains and buses.
Book a hotel east of Faro for quiet resort towns like Tavira or go west for
golf resorts, partying in Albufeira and Vilamoura Casino. If
you're with kids, you might prefer sheltered Falésia or
Carvoeiro.
Things to do on Faro city breaks
Start your Faro city break in the old town, following the medieval city walls to the
ninth-century Faro Castle. Then admire Faro Cathedral's
original 13th-century doorway and Baroque interior. Take a break from central Faro
and travel down the coast to play golf at the Vale do Lobo resort, lie on the
sandy beach at Quarteira and drink late into the night in
Albufeira.
