Admire its striking façade and the remains of the original Moorish walls as you step into the city’s historic heart. Continue to the magnificent Sé de Faro (Faro Cathedral), a blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, where you can climb the tower for breathtaking panoramic views over the city and Ria Formosa. Next, head to the Marina de Faro, a lively waterfront square lined with palm trees, charming cafés, and stunning views of the marina. This is the perfect spot to soak in Faro’s vibrant atmosphere and admire the traditional boats docked along the shore.
