Located along the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Faro is the capital of the Algarve region and one of southern Portugal’s most important cities. It combines city life with protected lagoons, islands, and wildlife, making it one of the Algarve’s most balanced and liveable destinations. Its strong infrastructure, university presence, and year-round population distinguish it from purely seasonal resort towns.
Often seen as a gateway due to its international airport, Faro is far more than just a point of arrival. It offers a unique blend of historic heritage, coastal landscapes, cultural life, and modern urban living.
