The ever popular city of Faro, in Portugal’s Algarve region, is one of the country’s top holiday destinations, and this is reflected in the number and range of great holiday accommodation available here.

Most popular during the summer months, many families are attracted by the cheap accommodation on offer, and opportunities for fun in the sun. Faro Beach is located 7 kilometres (4 miles) from the city itself and is several kilometres long, a size which means this beach will rarely get overcrowded. Holidaymakers can choose self catering apartments or villas near the beach, or opt for holiday accommodation in a city setting.
The Old City, known as Centro Historico or Cidade Velha, is a popular destination which has cobbled streets and interesting architecture, set just a short distance from the harbour. Faro Marina is also a pleasant spot to take a stroll by day or night, whilst watching the yachts come and go. Boat trips to Rio Formosa are available for a nice half day excursion from your holiday accommodation. This is a large nature reserve right next to the city where you can see hundreds of different bird species.
Visitors looking for tourist information will find this at the Posto de Turismo de Faro, located in the city centre.
