In winter, Faro is more serene and has a beauty all its own with the contrast of the white-washed town and the sea as well as the Colonial and Moorish-influenced architecture. If you fancy a choice escape from your every day routine, there are many package tours and discount airlines available to make the proper arrangements forthwith.
Once you have arrived at your destination in Faro, you will need a comfy car to utilise your time in the area wisely and to reach the out of the way places that will be well worth the trouble of going that little extra distance. In terms of car hire Faro Airport has a bunch of agencies to help you do just that. You can find them by turning right after the main exit.
With a car at your disposal, the sky will be the limit in terms of activity and sightseeing options. There is a castle to visit and a traditional functioning yet ancient bathhouse. There are also many options in terms of shopping and nightlife. One of the most unique calling cards of the region is a large nature reserve where many migratory birds appear as if by magic at certain times of year.
The beaches are very popular and, not unlike the nature reserve, are densely populated by migratory populations at certain times of year. These people may at times get rowdy also not unlike the birds. If it becomes too much for you, again, consider car hire, Faro Airport will have a variety of options and agencies from which you can make the best choice to suit your travel and transportation needs. Discuss your prospective destinations of choice with locals and you may just get that inside scoop about an amazing restaurant or beach that you would not have found out about without their help.
