How safe is Faro?

Enough to travel alone, good for students and young people. You can walk on the streets freely without being robbed or mugged or even scared to get a picked pocket. Faro is a university city so will be always a "better" option in terms of security

Faro was beautiful for a quick recharge. The beaches are lovely, the people were so kind and I felt incredibly safe there even late at night. I was fine getting around on public transport. Although benagil caves were advertised as a must do I found it far too crowded to enjoy. There was an island hopping tour that was perfect, definitely look into that!

Let’s first start with the fact I felt super safe. As every place on the planet there were some sketchy places, I recommend you to ask locals for them, they are super helpful but keep in mind that most people in Portugal don’t speak really good English. They have really good bars that weren’t too expensive. I didn’t use public transportation or something because everything is basically 15-20 minutes away. Overall, I loved it there and I would give it 7/10 because i like more cold countries and it was too hot for me 😆.
