A sunseeker’s paradise, the capital of the Algarve has been often overlooked as a gateway to other nearby destinations, but this city’s popularity is now soaring thanks to its combination of holiday hotspots and rural authenticity. Big beach hotels meet whitewashed villages and charming converted country houses, so you can embrace being a sun, sea and sangria tourist, or live more like a local here.

Faro is also known for its world-class golf, and people flock here to play on the manicured greens facing the breathtaking Algarve. By night, the city transforms with a lively nightlife, whether you want chic rooftop bars or hit the clubs.
