- Explore the dozens of secluded beaches and islands around Faro, including Praia da Barreta, Praia da Culatra (on Culatra Island) and Praia da Armona. Because public transport isn’t widely available here, choosing a hire car is the best option to find these hidden gems.
- If you’re interested to find out more about the ancient history of the Algarve and the Roman influence in the region, head to Milreu Roman Ruins and the Cerro da Vila Archaeological Station, both within a half-hour drive from Faro, to get a taste of the past.
