Faro

Faro is the current capital of the Algarve district. The historic area of Faro, protected by Roman-era walls, is a key attraction for national and international tourism. Here, you’ll find the square that was once the Roman forum. The Cathedral of Faro, the Episcopal Palace, and the Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption, currently housing the City Museum, are some of the must-visit spots.

Along the coast, Faro is encircled by the extensive Ria Formosa, a natural reserve where migratory birds and rare species find refuge. Faro International Airport, welcoming millions of passengers annually, provides air connections to various parts of the globe.
