Location information for Faro

Faro is the gateway to Portugal's Algarve region, which is characterised by golden beaches, historic architecture, a welcoming atmosphere and year-round warmth. Some tremendously scenic drives are possible from Faro, so visitors are likely to come across plenty of options for rental vehicles. Compare car hire online for cheap deals and book early for the best savings.

Transport

[transport]

Faro Airport is located to the west of the city, and is the main transport into the region for domestic and international travellers. However, buses and train lines also stop in Faro. Parking can be difficult in the city, so getting around the centre on foot or by bus is preferred. Nevertheless, car hire in Faro is essential for exploring outside the city.

Car Hire Faro

Sixt, Avis and Budget are some of the world-class car suppliers found within Faro. Most are available at the city's airport, though there are several companies operating in the centre of town. Tourists will find it inexpensive and convenient to drive in the region. Hence, car rental in Faro is a great option for visitors.

Driving

Compared to the rest of Portugal, Faro and its surrounding region are quite easy for driving. Toll roads are almost non-existent and road signs are easy to spot, making navigation effortless. In the centre of the city, parking is scarce except for the large parking station near Faro's shipyard. The free-flowing A22 connects Faro to the eastern and western areas of the Algarve.

Things To See and Do

Albufeira is 30kms from Faro, and offers spectacular beaches for sun lovers. Quarteira and Gale also boast beautiful beach resort facilities around Albufeira. About 40kms from Faro is Algarve's first capital, Silves. It contains a magnificent red castle to explore. Around 10kms east of Faro is Tavira and its wildlife-filled parkland.

Best Time To Visit

Faro's summer months are busy, boasting plenty of sunshine. Temperatures are about 28°C with minimal rainfall. If tourists don't mind the crowds, Faro is best in June, July and August. However, the winter months (December, January and February) in Faro are quieter and still warm enough for swimming, shopping and sightseeing.
