Here are some of my favourite things to do in Faro, Portugal, the capital of the Algarve. It’s somewhere I’ve got to know quite well recently as I spent a month in the Algarve. So now I can give you plenty of tips on how best to spend your time in this underrated and colourful city.

Most visitors to the Algarve will fly into Faro but bypass the city itself, heading to other places. They’re missing out. As lovely as other towns in the area are, Faro definitely has its own charms and shouldn’t be missed. It’s a decent-sized city, packed with brilliant spots to eat, including lots of vegan restaurants and cafés. It has a pretty old town full of cobbled streets and fragrant orange trees. It’s got chic tiled boulevards lined with nice independent shops. And most importantly, Faro is on a coastal train line, which makes it an ideal base for exploring the rest of the Algarve, especially the beautiful Ria Formosa lagoon and nature reserve.

If this all sounds up your street, have a read of these things to do in Faro, Portugal, that I personally recommend – I’m in full tour guide mode here…

Things to do in Faro, Portugal

1. See the bone chapel at the beautiful Igreja do Carmo

I have to start this list with what I think is one of the most interesting things to do in Faro: see the bone chapel at the Igreja do Carmo (Google Maps link). Although there are a few places around Europe where you can see chapels made of bones like this, it’s still an unusual experience and not to be missed while you’re in Faro, even if you find it a bit macabre and creepy. 

The bone chapel is a small building around the back of the Igreja do Carmo, the main church, which dates back to 1719. This is known for being one of the most picturesque churches in the Algarve: a Baroque-style building with an impressively tiled square leading up to it. Its interior is full of lovely golden gilded altars and ornate woodwork. The church was badly damaged in Faro’s 1755 earthquake and had to be reconstructed. Apparently, the repair works took over 100 years! Much like my new kitchen a few years back. 

Anyway, to get to the bone chapel, you have to walk through a colourful little garden, accessed via a door at the side of the altar. There may be a small queue of people waiting to duck inside. I’d recommend waiting until it’s empty if you have time, so you can appreciate the full extent of the bones and skulls of over 1,200 monks without people in the way. The bones are all displayed in geometric patterns covering the walls and ceiling. The idea is to remind people of how short life is. I prefer wallpaper for interior decor, personally, but it’s very striking. 

For just 2€ to get in, this is a bargain and something very memorable to see while in Faro.

2. Find the entrances to the old town

Faro’s old town is the most attractive part of the city, full of orange trees, cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings. It’s encircled by thick stone walls. For many years, most of the inhabitants lived within the walls to protect them from sea raiders. You can only enter through a few gates and entrances, the nicest of which I think is this one (Google Maps link) as it frames the alluring inside with a bit of a tunnel effect, leading to the colourful buildings inside.

Before you go through, don’t miss the panels of traditional Portuguese blue-and-white tiles (azulejos) on stands in front of the entrance. They depict the story of how King Alfonso III booted the Moors out of Faro in 1249 and liberated the city. There’s also a statue of this guy as you enter the old town here.

Oh and one more thing! Look out for the seal painted on the wall to the left of this entrance. He represents Faro’s seafaring history and adds a little something modern to the otherwise historic entrance.

More on what’s inside the old town further down…

3. Have lunch at the delicious True Food – one of the best things to do in Faro for vegan foodies

When in the Algarve, you’ll probably be doing a lot of eating. It’s inevitable. The cuisine is, naturally, seafood-heavy. But if you’re after something vegetarian or vegan, Faro can sort you out. The city has a surprising plethora of veggie/vegan eateries.

True Food is an excellent vegan café in Faro, probably my favourite that I’ve tried so far. It markets itself as lactose-free and gluten-free, so do check what’s vegan and what’s veggie on the menu as I can’t remember whether it was all 100% plant-based. This pretty little café is on a quiet backstreet and you’d only know it was there if you were seeking it out (Google Maps link). You definitely should seek it out though. It’s delicious.

I recommend the kebab, which is bursting with veg and tofu in a very tasty sauce, served with sweet potato fries, and one of the colourful salads. This was enough for the two of us to share. The portions are proper generous and really good value for money (mains are under 12€). I could happily eat there every day.

If the weather is nice, sit outside and enjoy the pretty pastel-coloured buildings on the street.

4. Browse the shops on tiled streets with canopies overhead

If you’ve been anywhere in Portugal, you’ll be familiar with its tiled streets. I love them (other than when it’s raining and they become slippy and mildly lethal). Faro has some exceptional ones, including some lovely fish patterns. But you should also look up…

Overhead, the main shopping streets in Faro have big white canopies hung like the sails of a ship, creating some very welcome shade in the summer heat. It makes for a very chic shopping experience, especially on the lovely Rua de Santo Antonio.

There are a few nice independent clothes shops dotted around Faro’s centre, although none have ever lured me in enough to purchase anything. Of course, you get a few of the usual chains too, namely Vilanova (accessories), Mango and Parfois (my favourite Portuguese high-street chain). But most of the usual shops are outside of the centre at the Forum Algarve, which is a good 20-minute waddle from the centre (Google Maps link). I’d only bother going there if you desperately need something as it’s all the generic chains you get in every country.

5. Stroll through the old town

As mentioned above, the old town is definitely the prettiest bit of Faro with its orange trees, cobbled streets, and lively squares full of cafés. But it’s also really interesting and full of history. 

Like many Portuguese towns, Faro’s got a real mixture of architecture as it’s been influenced by everyone who’s ever occupied it. Although the Moors can take credit for its impressive city walls, there’s also been input from the Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths and Byzantines. Soak up all this history as you stroll around the old town. The biggest square is Largo da Sé, where the town hall and cathedral are. I love the rows of orange trees.

If you’re a history buff or you just want to get your bearings in Faro, you can do a free walking tour with a local guide who can tell you all about the city’s past and the significance of its various buildings. If you don’t fancy that though, it’s easy enough to walk around and enjoy the old town at your own pace.

6. Spot the storks and their huge nests on top of buildings – one of the best free things to do in Faro

Something I love about Portugal is how many storks it has just casually nesting in the most unlikely places.

Arco da Vila is an ornate monumental archway that leads into the old town, built in the neoclassical style of Italian architecture. Its crowning glory is an ornate bell tower and a statue of the patron saint of Faro, St. Thomas Aquinas. Just kidding. Its crowning glory is a set of GINORMOUS stork nests, complete with storks flapping about.

The storks you see in the Algarve are White Storks and they’re absolutely huge, hence the whopping nests. If you visit in April and May, you’ll likely spot some sitting on their nests or swooping about Faro looking for food. In May and June, you might even catch a glimpse of their chicks.

Another good spot to see them in Faro is in the middle of a small roundabout, nesting on a street lamp. As you do.

If you’ve never seen a stork in real life, be prepared for the sky to darken as they fly over you like a small aircraft. Their wingspan is up to 215cm (thanks, Wikipedia). And they make a very distinct clattering noise, which sounds like machinery starting up. Something has to power that wingspan I suppose.

7. Try some delicious Portuguese wines at Bago Wine Bar

I was lucky enough to stumble across Bago Wine Bar the day after it opened. And I’m so glad I did because it’s an absolute gem.

The interior is simple and chic, much more modern than most Algarve bars; it wouldn’t feel out of place in Lisbon or Paris. There are hundreds of bottles of wines lining the shelves, many of them from the Algarve but also from all over Portugal. I’ve been twice now and both times have had some delicious local wines, including a rosé that has to be the best I’ve ever had. Bago’s owner is friendly and chatty, as well as being very knowledgeable about wine (I have no clue). If you tell him what you like, he’ll pour you a glass that will probably be spot on.

Bago also does tapas and you can sit outside to enjoy your wine and nibbles. There’s a shady spot they have on the opposite side of the road by the city walls. It’s a really lovely and memorable experience. 

8. Pick up some souvenirs in Sardinha de Papel

Sardinha de Papel is a really nice little gift shop in the centre of town. In an ocean of tacky giftshops selling horrible plastic tat for tourists, this is a tasteful gem. It stocks some lovely ceramics, handmade jewellery with azulejo designs on them, artsy tote bags and stuff like that. Definitely worth popping in for a browse.

I got a pair of earrings (as ever) when I last went. But if I wasn’t visiting during my 3 months travelling around Portugal and needing to be light on luggage, I’d have also bought some of the very pretty plates/bowls they had.

Speaking of earrings, they also sell beautiful earrings by the brand MMazurek (also available on Etsy). I bought a pair of these while in Mertola last year and have worn them loads since! So if they have any of those in when you visit, I can definitely recommend them.

9. Eat some gorgeous Polish dumplings at My’o Meu

My’o Meu is a real delight. It serves delicious Polish dumplings (pierogi) and is one of the best restaurants in Faro that I’ve tried so far. My’o Meu has two branches in Faro; the one I went to was the smaller one near the train station (on 
Rua Conselheiro Sebastião).

I know, I know, why would you want to eat Polish food in Portugal? I always get at least one comment like this on any blog post whenever I mention any café or restaurant that isn’t the local cuisine of whatever country I’m writing about. All I can say is that anyone who can spend a whole trip eating one genre of food has more dedication than me. I always like at least one night of eating something different wherever I’m visiting, and you usually find these places are where the locals love too. As I’m typing this, I’ve been living in the Algarve for nearly a month and I’ve really enjoyed trying a few different cuisines here. My’o Meu has been one of the highlights.

I can 100% recommend the wild mushrooms and truffle pierogi – and the cheese, spinach and sour cream ones too. Perfect for lunch while exploring the city, and you might still have room for a cake.

10. Stroll around the marina and harbour

One of the first things to do in Faro when you arrive is to walk the length of the palm-tree-lined marina. The place is always bustling with both tourists and locals, and there are plenty of stalls you can stop at for a drink. There are also always boats to watch coming and going and sometimes there’ll be a market on, too. A walk along here gives you a good feel for the place.

Note that the water in Faro is part of the Ria Formosa lagoon, not the sea. But it’s just as beautifully turquoise.

11. See the street art dotted around town 

While it’s not a full-on street art explosion like Porto, there are still a few bits of street art dotted around Faro. Keep an eye out while you’re exploring.

This piece in the old town is the most prominent and you’ll naturally walk past it while doing a circuit of the area. It’s by Porto-based artist Daniel Eime.

12. Pop into the (free) Maritime Museum – one of the best things to do in Faro on a rainy day

While you’re walking around Faro’s marina, it’s worth calling in at the Maritime Museum (Google Maps link). It’s up on the first floor in the port authority building and isn’t that obvious from the outside.

The museum goes through all the marine species in the area, such as sardine, tuna and squid. There are also some model ships and fishing equipment, and a feature on the ‘Age of Discovery’ and Portugal’s seafaring history.

It’s only small but it gives you an idea of how life in the Algarve revolved around the fishing industry, shipbuilding and navigation before it became a tourist destination. And it’s free to get in, so definitely worth a mooch round; it should only take 15 minutes maximum. However, this is one of the few indoor things to do in Faro if you’re unlucky enough to get a rainy or cold day there, so it’s worth adding to your itinerary.

13. See Faro’s answer to Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue 

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, and how every visitor is always disappointed by how small it is. Well, Faro sort of has its own version – and she’s bigger. Admittedly, she’s not a mermaid (note the legs!) but she’s a fishy character for sure. You couldn’t possibly be disappointed by anyone who has a shell for a head, could you

At high tide, she’s submerged in water but when the tide is out, you can sit next to her for a photo.

The sculpture is made of copper and was designed by a local artist called José Luís Costa, and made by him and two others (Miró da Silva and Pascal Radar). 

You can find her on the steps near the ‘I heart Faro’ sign in the middle of the marina.

14. Visit the cathedral and climb to the top for views

The Cathedral of Santa Maria is in the heart of the old town, set in a large, orange-tree-lined square (sadly often turned into a carpark, which ruins the prettiness). It’s 3.50€ to get into the cathedral.

As regular readers will know, I find going into churches/cathedrals pretty boring unless there’s something distinctive or unusual about them. Loads of gold or fancy tiles will do. I’ll also take a view you can climb up to.

Santa Maria has a stone bell tower you can haul yourself up, involving not very many stairs at all TBH, considering the reward at the end is an excellent view over Faro and out to the lagoon. Watch out if you’re up there on the hour, though, because the bell is LOUD.

Oh and don’t miss the cathedral’s courtyard, where you’ll find a tiny and less impressive version of the main bone chapel (see #1 in this list if you’ve been naughty and skim read my post).

The cathedral’s rooftop views across Faro and the lagoon

Thought I’d better include a photo in case you needed convincing. Note the cars parked in front of the lovely orange trees, ruining the aesthetic. When I’m in charge, I’ll pedestrianise every old town in Europe, stat.

15. Enjoy all the beautiful architecture

Faro isn’t known for its beautiful old buildings in the way that perhaps Lisbon and Porto are, but this is unfair. It has plenty of spectacular buildings set in charming cobbled squares full of orange trees.

One of my favourites is this blue beauty, Palácio Belmarço (Belmarço Palace). It’s just round the corner from Bago Wine Bar and opposite the Brazilian consulate (Google Maps link). Unfortunately, it’s currently used as offices so you can’t go inside, but the bench just outside it is a good place to sit and bask in the sun, watching the families of storks building their nests on top of the palace’s roof.

16. Drink some craft beer at Grains 864

Grains 864 is one of the very few craft beer bars in Faro. So if you want to avoid the ubiquitous Sagres and Superbock and see out some hoppy IPAs instead, make a beeline for it. It has a wide range of bottled craft beer, some local and some international. There’s always one Portuguese craft beer on tap, too.

The bar is located in one of the nicest places in Faro, down a whitewashed and cobbled passageway that’s lit in the evenings by fairy lights. As the art gallery (see #18 of this list) is just behind it, you’ll see arty locals stopping here for a pint after work and it always has a buzzy atmosphere.

17. See the tiles in the Paço Episcopal 

This is a bit of an odd one but I wanted to include it. Bear with me…

The small Paço Episcopal de Faro (Bishop’s Palace: Google Maps link) is behind the orange trees in the old town’s main square. You would assume it was offices or something from the outside. There’s no big sign or anything to beckon tourists in. It also seems to have been closed on and off in recent years. But the last three times I’ve been to Faro, it’s been open. So I think I can safely say it’s visitable! You do have to pay to get in (2€).

The palace dates back to 1585, although it’s been destroyed and rebuilt since. It was used as a training centre for priests and now it hosts an exhibition of religious art, namely paintings of bishops. I know, I know, this sounds painful. Even if you’re into your bishops through the ages, there are only two rooms inside and it’d probably take 10 minutes maximum to complete.

But you should 100% go in to see the breathtaking azulejo tiles going up the staircase. These are worth the entrance fee alone. When I visited, everyone was oohing and ahhing at them and paying minimal attention to the exhibition further inside. They should turn the palace into a small museum of tiles or a gallery for local tile artists. Those beauties would draw people in from all over.

18. Buy a print from the Gama Rama art gallery – one of the best things to do in Faro to support local artists 

Gama Rama is an absolute find. I love nothing more than a quirky independent art gallery and shop, and this one is right up my street. On my last visit, I came away with a print from a local artist but if I’d had more room in my suitcase I’d probably have bought more (the print survived unscathed in my hand luggage, if you were worried, and it is now in my kitchen waiting to be framed).

The gallery and shop are up a tiled staircase behind a big, ornate green door. It’s a light and airy space inside, perfect for showcasing all the incredible art. Look at that beautiful wooden floor – I’d like that in my house, please.

When I visited, there was an exhibition of Portuguese artists on, which featured plenty of local Algarve ones. This includes the print I bought. You can also buy smaller things like artisan earrings, pots, mugs, postcards and so on. Perfect for some unique souvenirs to take home.

19. Have a photo with the big Faro sign

Who doesn’t love posing with some giant letters spelling out the name of the city or town they’re in?

You’ll find Faro’s sign in the marina, complete with a small queue of tourists waiting their turn. I was on my own the last time I visited and didn’t think anyone in the queue looked like they could take a good photo of me and/or be trusted with my camera, so this is something I need to rectify next time…

20. Enjoy the view of the marina from a rooftop bar – one of the best things to do in Faro on a clear day

Wherever I go, I always try to find the best view. If said view is from a bar, even better.

Faro’s best view on a clear day is either from the cathedral (a distinct lack of drinks there) or from the Eva Senses hotel bar (a perfect Aperol Spritz available). The choice is yours.

Although it’s a hotel rooftop bar, it’s open to the public so you don’t need to be a resident to enjoy the view. From the bar, you can see right across the marina and the city. Perfect for spying on people. The light is best in the early evening so it’s ideal for an aperitif. 

I should also add that the neighbouring Hotel Faro also has a rooftop bar, but I’ve not tried that one as it looks like it faces out towards the lagoon rather than having a view of both the water and the city, which is what I like. There’s also LAB Terrace bar for a nice but much lower down rooftop view (see #23 of this list). And there’s O Castelo, a rooftop bar in the old town. That is very popular with tourists but not really my cup of tea so I’m not writing about it here.

21. Visit the municipal museum 

Faro’s municipal museum is located in the very grand 16th-century Nossa Senhora Assunção convent. It’s 2€ to get in, another nominal fee.

The bulk of the museum’s collection is from the Roman period, so expect lots of bits of pillars and urns. The best bit is the large tiled mosaic of Oceanus, the god of the sea. Very maritime-themed, in true Faro style, and its sheer size is impressive. You can walk all around it to take it in. The municipal museum also has changing exhibitions, sometimes from local contemporary artists. This was my favourite bit on my last visit.

If you’re looking for things to do in Faro on a rainy or overcast day, the museum would while away a good 30 minutes. You can also be outside but very sheltered from rain/wind/sun walking around the convent’s courtyard, framed by pillars. Every time I’ve visited, the garden there has been pretty much non-existent, but maybe in summer it’s more colourful.

Also note that on certain days the museum has traditional fado singers performing in one of its rooms. I’m really not a fan of fado (soz!) so if you’re like me, you’ll want to avoid that! But if you’ve not heard it yet or you like it, do check the times on their website and see a performance. You have to give fado a go while in Portugal – that’s the rule. 

22. Have a homemade vegan lunch at Alcachofra

If you want a simple and tasty vegan lunch, head to the wonderful Mel & Limão/Alcachofra. Yes, the name is wildly confusing. The café’s sign says Mel & Limão but it’s listed online and on its website as Alcachofra (‘artichoke’). I’m not even going to pretend to understand. But the food is 10/10 and it’s definitely worth visiting. You can find it on Lago do Pé da Cruz (Google Maps link).

The cafe is tucked away on a quiet and leafy square, with a view of a fountain if you sit outside. There’s falafel and couscous, tofu in ginger and garlic, seitan burgers, wraps and salads, all made from delicious local vegetables. If you have room, there are homemade cakes too. 

23. Drink a cocktail at LAB Terrace

LAB Terrace is a really good spot for cocktails in Faro. It’s a(nother) rooftop bar with a view over the lagoon although from a much lower vantage point than the hotel bar I mentioned in #20 of this list of things to do in Faro. I definitely recommend a visit there though because it’s a proper sun trap (although with plenty of brollies if you need shade) and the cocktails are excellent.

LAB Terrace’s unusual name is because it’s on top of Faro’s science museum, which I’ve never actually been in as it looks like it’s mostly aimed at children. Let me know in the comments if it isn’t and I’ll pop in next time. Anyway, they’re sort of a science LAB because of that, so perhaps this is why they’re good at mixing cocktails.

24. Have a tasty vegan meal at Outro Lado, including a vegan francesinha

Outro Lado is a fully vegan restaurant in Faro, down a side street just off the main road through the city (Google Maps link). It recreates traditional meaty Portuguese dishes in an excellent vegan way.

There’s even a vegan francesinha (if you’re not familiar with the carb-tastic delight that is a francesinha, go and read my Porto guide immediately). I also really liked the arancini – okay, very much Italian and not Portuguese but still delicious. There’s a lovely atmosphere in Outro Lado and a mixture of locals and tourists dining there. You can tell that everything is made with love and care. Even if you don’t usually eat plant-based, you should give it a go.

They have vegan craft beer (bottled) available and I also recommend their white porto tonico, my drink of choice in Portugal (after a poncha in Madeira, of course).

25. Do some day trips using the coastal train

One of the most prominent features of Faro is the train running along the shoreline of the lagoon. When I say running along it, I mean it. You can sort of see how close it is in my photo above. 

The line is easy to navigate and runs all the way from Vila Real de Santo António in the east to Lagos in the west. It would take ages to get to Lagos from Faro, but there are some really good places to visit on the train that are all within an hour. It’s so cheap as well (for example, it’s a 7€ round trip to Tavira).

Here are some of my favourite towns you could do as day trips from Faro:

• Tavira – the jewel of the Algarve and my very favourite place. I have a guide to Tavira so you can read about what to do there. If you only do one day trip from Faro on the train, make it this one. It’s about 45 minutes to get there.
• Fuseta – a tiny and picturesque fishing village, lovely for lunch and a sit in the sun. I have a guide to Fuseta too. It only takes about 20 minutes to get there.
• Vila Real de Santo António – just over an hour from Faro, this is rather a hidden gem. I’ve only visited briefly and ran out of time to do another trip back but it’s on my list for next time. It has loads of independent shops and good places to eat, plus you can wave to Spain just over the other side of the river as it’s on the border.

Things to do in Faro, Portugal – useful information for your trip

Where to stay in Faro

I highly recommend staying in nearby Tavira, either in Casa Cristina or Casa Oliverio, two gorgeous self-catering apartments. Tavira is a bit quieter and is my favourite place in the Algarve – plus you can easily reach Faro and other towns on the train.

But if you’re keen to stay in the centre of Faro, there are loads of options. Weirdly, large hotels don’t tend to be that well rated in Faro (the aforementioned rooftop bar hotel, despite its lovely bar and view, only gets ‘very good’ on Booking.com, which is average). So it’s more about aparthotels and small boutique hotels (known as guesthouses in the Algarve but definitely not the UK B&B style of ‘guesthouse’!).

Here are a few accommodation options I’d look into…

• Faro Clara Suites – For about 70€ a night for a double or 100€ for a super-duper luxury apartment, this stylish place would be ideal if you don’t want a hotel breakfast and like to have your own space, which is my kind of thing. All the rooms have got a balcony. Although it’s the cheapest option I’ve found, it’s probably the nicest in terms of interior design. Very Instagrammable! 
• Opus One Luxury Guest House – For around 130€ a night, this is a good option in the centre of Faro. It even has a little terrace for each room so you could sit out with a cuppa in the morning. Or if you’re anything like me, get overheated blowdrying your hair and angrily go outside to calm down and finish your makeup. Lovely stuff.
• 3HB Faro – Going up to a swankier 180€ish a night, this hotel would be good if you want to splash out a bit. It’s very nicely designed and the rooms have balconies – again perfect for a morning brew or otherwise. It’s also bang in the city centre.
• Casa Apollo Guesthouse – And for a proper treat, this is over 200€ a night, which is way more than I’d normally pay but it’s got the wow factor. So if you’re there for a special occasion or just a short visit and want to splash out, it would be perfect. 

All prices are correct at the time of writing.

How to get to and around Faro

Faro is easily reached on the train from lots of other towns in the Algarve, as well as major cities like Lisbon and Porto. Check the Comboios de Portugal (official railway website) for times and prices.

You can also get to Faro by bus; it’s very well connected. I know plenty of people will do this if they land at Faro Airport. From the airport, number 16 will get you to the centre in under 20 minutes.

Once you’re in Faro, it’s a nice walkable size. You don’t need to worry about taxis and buses as everything is easily reached on foot.

When to go to Faro

I always recommend doing anywhere in Portugal in the spring, early or late summer, or early autumn. I’ve experienced similar weather in Faro in both April and October (i.e. hot!) and both are times of year when flowers are out and most restaurants/bars are open.

I’d avoid the height of summer because it’ll be very busy with tourists, much hotter, more expensive to stay in hotels/apartments and too full of children due to school holidays.
