Couple travel experience

I had a really good time in Faro, but this was because of the people I met, besides that there aren’t much things to do in the city, you can go to bars and dance clubs if you like that stuff, but If you are a curious person, is not so much for you, maybe go to the beach in a ferry but if you want to do something fun you have to pay for some excursion

Solo travel experience

The old town was great, very walkable, and had some excellent restaurants. I took the ferry to the island and went to the beach, it was beautiful. Also took a day and went to Marinha Beach and did a cave and dolphin tour on the fast boats. So fun and the caves were beautiful.
