Top Things to do in Faro
The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Faro, Algarve
Faro is the best-known city in Portugal’s deservedly famous Algarve region. There’s an archaeological museum and a “Bishops’ Palace,” a Renaissance cathedral that was heavily bombed during World War II, but later rebuilt. Nearby in Estoi are Roman ruins, and Albufeira, also nearby, is a formerly quaint fishing village influenced by the Moors in the 8th century. It’s situated in a cliffside location, and has become famous for its beaches (there are 20) and nightlife.

Going into the church it was very opulent and ornate and quite the contrast when you go out the back of the church to the Bone Chapel. The Bone Chapel was quite chilling to see, but definitely worth the look.
8. Teatro Lethes

Reviewed By bensontheboxer
Quite by chance we were in Faro on the night that there was a free performance, a sort of 'open mike' night with students of the local theatre school. It was a thoroughly charming experience, sitting in one of the tiered boxes, soaking up the atmosphere of what the teatro was like 150 years ago. The place had a real buzz to it and is beautifully renovated.
9. Animaris Ilha Deserta
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,337 reviews
At Animaris we have created several products in the field of Nature Tourism. Since we started in 1986, our focus has been respect and conservation of the environment, especially the Deserta Island, also known as Barreta. Today is still the only uninhabited barrier island of Ria Formosa. The Estamine Restaurant, recognized and awarded for its gastronomic quality and energy efficiency, is the only structure on the Island. Open every day of the year, with panoramic views of the Natural Park and the Atlantic Ocean, we specialise in the fresh products of the ocean and the Ria, such as fish and seafood. We also manage the beach concession on the Island, with support services such as sun shades and sunbeds, and a team of lifeguards during bathing season (June to September). Our fleet, for transportation and tours, is composed of boats of different types (semi-rigid, speedboats and catamarans), with capacities between 10 to 200 passengers.
