Faro, Portugal
Praça do Afonso III 15
N/A
Better \old town feel\ than Albuferia old town, (which is very touristy). Ample free parking nearby, but once in the carpark, ignore any \locals\ wandering around who try to tell you where to park and then ask for money to watch your car. Several nice restaurants within the old town area and pleasant to wander through....maybe good for a stop off before catching flight back home.

Very lovely and interesting old city with a Roman history dating back to @ 2nd century BC. The town has seen much conflict with troubles from the Roman era through the Moorish occupation and the later Spanish conflicts. Lots of history and many different architectural influences from over 2000 years of change. Well worth a visit
A Vintage version of Faro - nicely preserved with it's cobbled streets and neat white-washed buildings reminiscing of the Colonial hey-days of the Portuguese Empire. Warrants a visit if visiting the nearby Ria Formosa National Park.
Faro Old Town is a delight, a must see. A walled city within a city. Full to the brim with history. Museums, churches many ancient buildings cobbled streets a joy. Many restaurants to take refreshment in. Honestly don't miss this local gem.
See, beautiful mosaics, learn something about Faro and listen to some amazing Fado music.
It is a beautiful city
Nice to walk around, not much to see or activities and was easy to cover in an hour of walking slowly and not stopping. Some nice restaurants but again nothing too special A few shops but nothing special and just general shops that are found everywhere. I recommend going to somewhere like Lagos or Alvor instead, which has more options for tourists, and better atmosphere to see things or just relax. In this summer time Faro does put on big screens in the centre for events, in our case the football World Cup game which brings a bit more entertainment and energy to the place.
I really love Faro as it is a quiet and peaceful small city with lots of history
