The Old City is delightful, with narrow lanes, tiled walls, and some really historic archictecture. Unfortunately a combination of the Crusaders invasion and an earthquake in the 18th Century flattened some parts, but the town square retains its ancient charm. There’s a lovely 18th century Episcopal Palace here and a 13th century Cathedral. Parts of the original Roman walls also surround the city.

Faro has an important Maritime history and next to the small boat basin bordering the Praade Dom Francisco Gomes is a small naval museum. The city’s archaeological museum, housed in a 16th century former convent, is worth visiting.

The Algarve is known for its laid back atmosphere and unhurried pace, and this can best be experienced dining alfresco on countless pavement cafes, enjoying fresh seafood and bountiful Portuguese wine. Drive around in your Faro car rental and enjoy the beauty of the area of Portugal.

Sagres is dramatically situated on the cliff-edges of mainland Europe’s western-most point. It was here that, five centuries ago, Prince Henry set up a school of navigation which played a crucial role in the Portuguese discoveries.
