Visit the church of Igreja Do Carmo which is one of the most popular Faro attractions. It has
a Capella dos Ossos which is a bone chapel, decorated entirely out of the bones of monks, making
this a macabre sight. Faro’s cathedral is definitely worth a visit and is a mix of Renaissance
and Baroque styling.
Faro is home to a large number of restaurants and cafes which will cater to every taste and budget.
Rua Santo Antonio and Rua Francisco Gomes have a lot of restaurants and are a popular choice with
locals and tourists alike. For seafood delights visit Adega Dois Irmaos which is the city’s oldest
seafood restaurant. Try some delicious Portuguese food at a number of different restaurants, and
sample some of the local cakes which are made with figs and almonds.
Visit the pretty little harbour in Faro which is lined with shops, restaurants and all manner of
yachts. Go shopping in the traditional streets of Faro and enjoy looking for clothes, jewellery and
more. Once a month there is also a market which is ideal for picking up souvenirs for friends and
family. Stroll through the old city and take in the architecture and the remains of the city walls.
