Location

Faro is the capital city of the Algarve region in southern Portugal. is a popular destination, not only for its own attractions but also as a gateway to explore the broader Algarve region, with its beautiful beaches, picturesque towns, and diverse landscapes. The city is home to historical landmarks, such as the Faro Old Town, the Cathedral of Faro, and the Arco da Vila, providing visitors with a mix of cultural and natural experiences. I stayed in the Lagoa area, which is approximately 45 minutes away from the airport by car.
