Marinas
Faro Marina is a picturesque and lively port area with a scenic waterfront promenade. It's popular for its night lights and the iconic 'Faro' sign, making it a favorite spot for photographers. Visitors can enjoy the view of fishing boats and yachts while sipping drinks at waterfront cafes or seafood restaurants. The marina offers opportunities to rent equipment for water activities like jet skiing or book boat trips to see dolphins.
It’s nice and safe to walk at the marina during day and night time. Great for watching planes and during our walk we sighted Michael Jordan plane. We also enjoyed petting a street cat. There’s a boat dock that provides tour/cruise if you want to see the coast.

Faro Marina is a beautiful and peaceful spot right in the heart of the city. Perfect for a relaxing walk, especially during sunset, with scenic views of the boats, palm trees, and the historic old town in the background. Plenty of cozy cafés nearby make it a great place to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommended for a laid-back afternoon

Stunning harbour, we had a quiet walk and enjoyed some food, beautiful pictures, and cute souvenir shops. Altogether a wonderful experience.
Angelica R — Google review
A small marina on the edge of the old town, access for small boats only underneath railway bridge! Lots of small boat tours go from here. There are a few bars and restaurants, a nice place for a wander. When we visited there was a mini street market between the marina and old town along the walk way.

Faro Marina is a really relaxing place to spend time, especially in the evening. The boats, palm trees, and calm water create a lovely atmosphere. I went there during sunset and it was beautiful the sky turned orange and pink, and the light reflected on the water perfectly. I took some amazing photos! There are also a few cafés and restaurants around, so you can sit down, have a drink, and enjoy the view. It’s a great place to unwind at the end of the day.

The Igreja de Santa Maria, also known as Faro's Cathedral, is a Catholic cathedral with a rich history dating back to the 13th century. It was elevated to Se Catedral de Faro in the 16th century and still preserves some of its original architectural elements such as the bell tower and two chapels.
Ofcourse, must visit when in Faro for a great view of the Marina and sea. It was good to see the chapel of bones, museum but highlight for me was the tower, the views from the tower. There was not very long line for the tickets. Ticket was 5 £ pp. I would recommend visiting.
Shraddha — Google review
Lovely view from the top of the tower, the bells are in working order so be aware that they are loud if you’re quietly enjoying the scenery. There’s a display of historic clothing, which is interesting. The shrine of bones is small and missing all the skulls. The inside of the cathedral is quite impressive.
Marisa P — Google review
The Cathedral in Faro is a charming historic building with a lot of character. The real highlight is climbing the tower, where you get fantastic views over the old town and the surrounding area. That said, parts of the cathedral and museum feel a bit run down, and the €5 entrance fee seems a little steep for what’s on offer. It’s best to see the fee more as a small contribution to preserving the place rather than paying for a polished attraction.
Waldseeschloss — Google review
It’s absolutely worth a visit! The Cathedral is beautifully decorated and even has a charming little garden. Your ticket includes access not only to the Cathedral itself, but also to the museum, the fascinating bone chapel, and the tower. I especially appreciated the multilingual information provided for each piece of art, which makes it easy to understand the history behind them. Climbing the tower is definitely rewarding — it offers a wonderful panoramic view of the city. A very complete and enriching experience!
Attila F — Google review
Gorgeous cathedral in the historic centre built in the Gothic style in 1249 which replaced a Muslim mosque, itself built on a Roman temple ! Some notable vestiges of its origins remain, such as the tower and the large ogival portal. The two side chapels of the transept, surmounted by ribbed vaults, also in the Gothic style, date from the 15th century. Plundered and burned down in 1596, it was remodeled many times. Worth seeing are the late 17th-century azulejos that adorn the Capela de Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the tomb of the knight Rui Valente.

History Museums
The Municipal Museum of Faro is a historical convent-turned-museum that hosts both permanent and temporary archaeological exhibitions. It is just one of the many sightseeing highlights in Faro, which also include Praia de Benagil, Castelo de Silves, Gruta de Benagil, Cathedral of Faro, and more. Visitors can explore the local culture, enjoy great dining options and find accommodation for every budget. Additionally, there are opportunities for shopping, nightlife entertainment, and relaxation.
We were so glad we made the trip to the Municipal Museum of Faro. This is a terrific insight into the history of the region and the people who lived there in years gone by. Architecturally, it is perhaps, one of the most beautiful buildings in Faro and most of it can only be appreciated from within the confines of its walls. I have attached a selection of photographs to whet your appetite to make the visit but why would you not? It is in the heart of the city and could not be more interesting. The entrance fee is very modest and worth so much more. The art is just so inspiring and the buildings themselves, so peaceful .. one could spend an hour just drifting between the walls and the garden. The exhibitions are clearly labelled and there is something there for everyone - we noticed people of all ages enjoying this museum. Well done Faro!
Tim R — Google review
Person at the desk was not very friendly after we asked to pay by card but that seems to be a thing in this region... Museum had some very interesting things to see and read from during the greek era, the romans and 17th century. We did hope to learn a bit more about some other very interesting parts of history in Faro for example the raid by the English duke, reconquiring by first king of Portugal or perhaps the interesting story by the people from the nearby village of Olhao that stood up against the French occupier and started the civilian rebellion and afterwards 17 couragious men without navigating skills sailed over the ocean to Brasil to tell the king of Portugal about the revolt. Very interesting pieces of history that I would have liked to learn more about.

One of the most beautiful places in the city! The building itself is stunning, and its exhibitions offer a fascinating insight into the history of Faro and the Algarve. I was lucky to visit during a festival, which meant extended hours—perfect for exploring at a leisurely pace. A must-visit for history lovers!

A little gem tucked inside a former convent—history never looked so good! The Municipal Museum of Faro is like a time-traveling treasure hunt through Algarve’s past. Housed in a gorgeous old convent with peaceful cloisters and Roman mosaics just casually chilling on the floor (yes, really), it’s the kind of place that surprises you at every turn. From ancient Roman artifacts to religious art and quirky local history, it’s both charming and enlightening without ever feeling stuffy. Bonus points for the serene courtyard—perfect for pretending you’ve stepped into a period drama. If you enjoy a mix of culture, calm, and a little curiosity, don’t skip this spot. It’s a delightful way to soak up Faro’s soul!

16th century former convent /cork factory built on the site of the ancient Jewish quarter now a museum with Roman artifacts from the city's past along with a permanent collection of religiously themed paintings and a rotating exhibit of modern art. The building has been beautifully restored; the gargoyles decorating the columns of the interior courtyard are especially delightful.

The Museu Municipal de Faro, nestled within the historic Convento de Nossa Senhora da Assunção, offers a captivating journey through the Algarve's rich history. Established in 1894 as the Museu Arqueológico e Lapidar Infante D. Henrique, it now boasts a diverse collection of approximately 12,500 artifacts spanning various periods and cultures . Highlights of the Museum Roman Heritage: The museum's Roman collection features significant artifacts, including a notable mosaic depicting the god Oceanus, dating back to the late 2nd or early 3rd century. This piece underscores the historical importance of Ossonoba (ancient Faro) as a bustling Roman settlement . Islamic Influence: Artifacts from the 10th to 13th centuries showcase the Islamic period of Faro, offering insights into daily life during that era. Artistic Collections: The museum houses an impressive array of paintings from the 16th to 19th centuries, reflecting the artistic evolution of the region. Additionally, works by Carlos Porfírio capture the enchanting legends of the Algarve, blending folklore with visual art.

The Algarve Life Sciences Center, also known as Centro Ciencia Viva do Algarve, is a hands-on natural science center located in a historic building in Faro. It offers guided tours and interactive exhibits suitable for all ages. Visitors can explore the touch tank with local marine creatures from Rio Formosa Natural Park and an arachnid exhibit. The museum features permanent and temporary exhibitions, providing an educational experience for both children and adults.
One of the best museums for kids. They have a small glass aquarium with starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and small crabs. They provide a tour in English and Portuguese. You also get to put some of the Aquatic animals on your palm. Tip: At the center you have to pay in CASH for the tickets . AND if you buy online ,pay 1€ extra. It is worth a visit when you are in FARO with KIDS.

We visited this place a few days ago: Our 11 year old daughter loves science, especially biology and sea creatures. The fantastic marine biologist Ricardo explained beautifully what was living in the open aquarium; children were allowed to take certain creatures in their hands. AMAZING! Happy memories forever!! We will be back!! It’s a rather small museum but full of interesting discoveries and informations! Highly recommended for every science enthusiast!

Interesting small museum primarily aimed at children to experience various natural phenomena through interactive play. The other part of museum is aimed at undrestanding the principles of conservation and impact of natural forcen on the natural environment.

Igreja da Misericórdia, located in Faro, Portugal, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Initially built as Ermida do Espirito Santo in 1499, it was later replaced by the current church and an adjacent hospital at the end of the 16th century. The building stands out for its unique Greek cross floor plan and features a remarkable mannerist retablo from the early 17th century.
Highly recommend the fado show here if you get an opportunity (Fado na Igreja, Weds to Fri) - the musicians and singer were wonderful and the acoustics were amazing!

Praia da Ilha Deserta, also known as Deserted Island Beach, offers various boat trips to and from the island. Some excursions take you beyond the lagoon into the Atlantic Ocean for dolphin watching. The island features a beautiful beach with opportunities for walking, sunbathing, and collecting seashells. However, access to the island may be challenging for those with mobility issues due to steep stone stairs.
I think I’ve just discovered my new favourite place in Portugal. 🏝️ Praia da Ilha Deserta is pure bliss — crystal-clear turquoise water, soft sand scattered with beautiful seashells, and not a single piece of rubbish in sight. Everything feels pristine and cared for, with plenty of bins around to keep it that way. You can rent comfy sunbeds, and the on-site restaurant even offers takeaway drinks and food — perfect for enjoying right on the beach. It’s so easy to lose track of time here, you could happily spend the whole day soaking it all in. 🥰 The ferry is €5 one way, but remember to buy your return ticket at the kiosk. Tip: don’t make our mistake and book your return too early — you’ll want to stay longer than you think! A truly stunning spot that’s absolutely worth a visit. 🌊✨

It's a nice place slowly ruined by excess tourists. Even if you're local with a boat, you can feel the added pressure during August. For visitors, be aware you only have one restaurant and one bar at the beach. Both quite expensive. So not for everyone.

I was planning on going to Faro beach which is nearer but I thought it might be crowded so I opted for Ilha Deserta and I'm so glad I did it was delightful and I certainly did feel like I had the place to myself and totally chilled out by the beautiful shoreline and tide. I had the company of Little Terns, Sabina's Gulls and just before I left dolphins.
Craig C — Google review
This area is a nuture reserve, so it is not a beach resort as such, as there is no infrastructure there other than a more upmarket eco restaurant. This place is only reachable by boat too - the shuttle takes roughly 25 mins to get there. It has a beautiful beach, and the decking path that runs a couple of kilometres through the reserve lands you in the middle of it. The boat drop off is next to one end of the beach though, so it's easy to get to for the less able. Despite the barren look of the reserve, it is particularly fragrant and has a lot of bird life.

When you think of the quintessential beach experience, Praia da Ilha Deserta in the south of Portugal ticks all the boxes. I recently spent an entire day here, and it was nothing short of blissful. From the reasonable rental prices for umbrellas and chairs to the serene and scarcely populated beach, every aspect of this hidden gem contributes to a perfect day of relaxation and enjoyment. One of the most appealing features of Praia da Ilha Deserta is its name, which translates to "Deserted Island Beach." True to its name, this beach offers an unparalleled sense of tranquility and seclusion. Unlike many other beaches that are often overcrowded, this location remains relatively empty, even during peak seasons. This gives visitors the rare opportunity to enjoy the beach’s natural beauty without the usual hustle and bustle. For those seeking a peaceful retreat from the chaos of daily life, Praia da Ilha Deserta is an ideal choice. The beach itself is a picture-perfect scene. The clear, turquoise waters gently lap against the soft, golden sand, creating an inviting and serene atmosphere. The panoramic view is nothing short of spectacular. As you lounge under the shade of an umbrella, the endless horizon and the rhythmic sound of the waves offer a meditative experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. Whether you’re an avid photographer looking to capture stunning landscapes or simply someone who appreciates natural beauty, this beach provides a visual feast. Renting amenities here is both convenient and affordable. The cost to rent an umbrella and chairs is quite reasonable, which is a significant advantage for those planning to spend the entire day at the beach. This thoughtful provision ensures that visitors can relax in comfort without worrying about bringing their own gear. The process is straightforward, and the staff is friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience.

This place is amazing. Book more hours if it's a sunny day!! We booked 2-3 hours and it wasn't enough to eat and sunbathe. We didn't book the restaurant in advance and we got in, but I did hear some people got caught without a reservation in the restaurant so perhaps book that- the restaurant is amazing- it looks like local people go to the island just for the restaurant. The food was delicious. The service was 5 star. As we were at the beach off season all the umbrellas were available without paying but the seats were tied away. The weather was so hot, so we sat under an umbrella on a beach towel. The water is steeply sloped but lovely. We didn't have time to do the walk around and the beach so we chose the beach- so I recommend booking more hours - the place is not boring in the sun - it's paradise- moreeeeee!!!

Very nice beach for walking and tanning. Getting off from the boat onto the island might be a bit tricky for people with mobility problems and there are some steep stone stairs. Lots of beautiful seashells all along the beach. It is really a desert island, so don't expect shade or greenery. There is a nice restaurant with good AC if it gets too hot outside. I would recommend their coffee and ice cream.

The Igreja de São Pedro, a 16th-century church in Faro, was reconstructed in the late 18th century after being damaged by the 1755 earthquake. The exterior remains simple, but the interior is adorned with lavish gold decorations and beautiful blue-and-white tile panels. Notable features include stork nests on the roof or bell tower and an intricately carved gilded chestnut wood altar depicting the Last Supper.

We enjoyed spending a day here, looking at the chapel of bones, cathedral, castle walls, marina and strolling around the old area. Also there were Storks nesting on building ledges, lovely to see. All in all nice thing to do.

I had a great time exploring the old town of Faro — it’s full of charm, lovely streets, and a great atmosphere. The only downside was that parking was quite difficult to find, especially during busy hours. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and definitely worth a visit!

A lovely historical part of Alcudia. Well worth a visit and a walk along the Old Town walls is a great way to see more of the area.

The Old Town of Faro, also known as the Cidade Velha, is one of the Algarve’s most charming and historically rich districts. Enclosed within medieval walls, this beautifully preserved area offers visitors a serene, time-travel-like experience through narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings, and peaceful squares lined with orange trees. Unlike the more commercialized tourist zones of southern Portugal, Faro’s Old Town retains a relaxed, authentic atmosphere that invites slow exploration and reflection. At the heart of the Old Town is the Arco da Vila, a neoclassical archway that serves as one of the main gateways into the historic core. As soon as you pass through, you feel like you've stepped into another era. The streets are quieter here, the pace is slower, and there’s a palpable sense of history in the air. Wander a bit further and you’ll arrive at Largo da Sé, the central square dominated by the Sé de Faro (Faro Cathedral), a stunning mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. Climbing its bell tower rewards you with panoramic views over the tiled rooftops of the old town and the Ria Formosa lagoon beyond. Throughout the Old Town, visitors will find remnants of Faro’s Roman, Moorish, and Christian past. The municipal museum housed in a former convent offers fascinating insight into the city’s multi-layered history, with archaeological pieces and religious art on display. Strolling through the area reveals hidden courtyards, art galleries, small artisan shops, and cozy cafés where one can sip a coffee or enjoy a local pastry like the almond-based queijinho do céu. One of the most rewarding aspects of Faro’s Old Town is its quiet elegance. Unlike Lisbon or Porto, where the crowds can sometimes be overwhelming, Faro offers a more intimate experience, particularly outside peak hours. The golden light reflecting off ancient stone walls, the scent of citrus in the air, and the soft murmur of local life all contribute to the Old Town’s undeniable charm. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a cultural explorer, or a photographer looking for character-filled streets and historic facades, Faro’s Old Town is a place that lingers in memory. It’s a destination where every corner reveals a new story, and every step connects you to the long, layered narrative of the Algarve’s capital.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
The Parque Natural da Ria Formosa is a true gem of the Algarve, spanning over 60 km of coastline. This protected area boasts diverse landscapes including lagoons, marshes, and salt lakes separated from the ocean by a chain of islands. The park is home to various crustaceans, mollusks, and native bird species as well as migratory northern European birds during winter.
Very spectacular view of this wetland from airplane taking off from Faro, unique geography. If visiting again, I will try to walk around.
Chen L — Google review
Tides shape the experience; check schedules to see sandbars appear and vanish. Birdwatchers will love the variety—bring binoculars. Boats can link islands, but walking paths give quieter moments. Sun reflects off water intensely; sunglasses help. Pack light and embrace detours. It’s a gentle landscape where small details—shells, reeds, ripples—steal attention from grand vistas.
Mariana S — Google review
The park’s lagoons, marshlands, and islands provide a sanctuary for a diverse range of wildlife, which makes it a fantastic spot for birdwatching and nature photography. The boat tours are a must-do, providing an intimate look at the diverse ecosystems and the unique fishing communities on islands like Armona and Culatra. The guides are knowledgeable and passionate, making the experience educational as well as enjoyable. While the commitment to conservation and animal welfare is evident, and it’s heartening to see such dedication to preserving this slice of paradise, some areas could benefit from better signage and maintenance. Also, the availability of amenities like restrooms and cafes is limited, which is something to keep in mind when planning your visit.

Awesome place! Did we see chameleons? Unfortunately not, but we did see storks, two kinds of grey birds, thousands of crabs and a beautiful park. Really worth it! Recommend a visit. The recommended hike is only 2.5km so its nice if you're looking for a short activity

A beautiful park that's home to a huge variety of wildlife and has some of the best sunsets I've ever seen. Depending on the time of year the tide will usually be in during the morning, then out until the evening, so be careful not to get caught out walking in the marshes. Otherwise there are plenty of permanent paths so that you can walk around the little salt lakes and admire the wildlife. Look out for flamingos and other types of birds if you visit!

Very nicely preserved place. Fresh air, lots of things to see, from plants to birds. Would be nice to enforce people respecting the rules of not walking on the dunes and not throwing trash. Very nice welcome also from the reception

Churches & Cathedrals
Located slightly inland from the Old Town walls, Igreja da Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo is an 18th-century Catholic church renowned for its gilded baroque architecture and the legendary Capela dos ossos, or Chapel of Bones. The chapel is adorned with carefully arranged bones of monks, creating a unique and somewhat eerie atmosphere.
I'm not a religious person at all, but this church is small but amazing place to visit. Once you've paid your 2 euros, you enter the main church hall (wow), steeped in history, and absolutely beautiful, dripping in gold decorations of representations & organs. You move through a small door to further depictions of christ, then you go outside, toilet, and a graveyard where ordinary people are buried, then the chapel which is covered throughout with human bones & skulls, all above 17 years, some skulls look younger, but told no by the attendant.
Smithy — Google review
Quite a short visit. Church is ornate, went to see the bones really. A bit of a strange experience. Very small place so whole visit was only 15 minutes but well worth the 1 euro fee.

2 euro entrance fee and very nice inside. The bone chapel is made from the bones of a thousand monks, very interesting to see. When you come out just over the road is a cafe to eat and drink and opposit here is another church to go inside which is also very charming.

Specialty Museums
Museu Regional do Algarve, also known as the Regional Museum of the Algarve, is a charming ethnography museum located in Faro. It offers a glimpse into traditional Algarve culture through its collection of paintings, artifacts, crafts, and furniture. The museum showcases agricultural implements, musical instruments, house interiors, model fishing boats, black-and-white photos of the town and local beaches from before tourism took off in the mid-20th century.
Recently visited the Museu Regional do Algarve in Faro and it's truly a hidden gem. Though it might be smaller in size, it's packed with rich insights into the region's heritage. While the staff didn't speak English, their smiles and genuine kindness spoke volumes. It's a testament that language barriers can easily be transcended with heartfelt gestures. A must-visit when in Faro! Entry is €2 cash only.

It is a shame that this museum would only accept cash. I travel frequently and rarely come across places now that will only accept cash, especially for a museum or a typical tourist place to visit. It may be worth the visit as less than 2 Euros or so per person but we could not visit as we do not carry much cash anymore. The kind lady on the front desk does not speak any English but tried her best to explain what she could. Fortunately being able to understand some Spanish, we could make out what she was saying.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Pé da Cruz, also known as the Hermitage of Lady at the Foot of the Cross, is a charming and understated Baroque-style church located in Largo do Pé da Cruz. The original chapel was built around 1644 but was mostly destroyed by the Great Earthquake of 1755. The current whitewashed building was constructed in 1861.
A small but delightful church tucked out of the way with two resident storks watching over passerby's in this quaint and quiet part of Faro. At the rear of the church is a ceramic depiction of Christ enclosed by wrought iron railings but perfectly on view.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Pé da Cruz presents a baroque style. The reasonable construction time is the 17th century. Initially, it was a modest chapel built in the suburbs of Faro city. This building has been rebuilt many times. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1775. There are beautiful religious paintings on the ceiling wortht to see inside. I recommend taking a look. I visited in November 2013.

(Translated by Google) Walking through the city center we find this small church built in the 17th century in a baroque style. After the earthquake of the 18th century it had to be restored. Later, the back of the building and its monumental crucifix were added, surrounded by wrought iron bars. We visited the interior of which we highlighted its ornate altar and the large paintings on the side walls. (Original) Recorriendo el centro de la ciudad nos encontramos con esta pequeña iglesia construida en el S. XVII de estilo barroco. Tras el terremoto del S. XVIII tuvo que ser restaurada.

Culatra is a small island in southern Portugal known for its natural beauty and authentic charm. The island is home to fishermen and locals, creating a unique atmosphere that sets it apart. Accessible by boat, the journey offers stunning views of the surrounding seascapes. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk from the landing pier to the beach, taking in the picturesque sunset along the way. Culatra's Ria Beach is also a pleasant spot to relax and take in the surroundings.
I enjoyed this island much more than Armona, you can get here by ferry, water taxi or tour. Many restaurants and bars.

Stunning, quaint little island. We got the ferry from Olhào and walked across the island to the Atlantic ocean, then down the beach to Farol. It was beautiful and well worth the €9 return for 2. Had lunch in Farol at a fabulous beach bar. All in all, a great day.

Visitors can explore the surrounding area with its charming alleys and street art, and enjoy nearby restaurants and bars.

Largo de São Francisco is a stunning showcase of Portuguese baroque architecture, renowned for its lavish golden embellishments and intricate tile panels. The church features exquisite paintings that were transported from Rome in 1792, but the true gem lies in the breathtaking tilework adorning both the vaulted ceiling and chancel walls. This architectural marvel invites visitors to immerse themselves in its rich history and artistic beauty. For those planning a visit, Largo de São Francisco is conveniently located near a spacious free parking area.
Easy option for free parking while downtown, at the marina and in Old Town.
