Overview

Feel most welcome to join a proud 'farense' (those born and bred in town) on a walking tour of our hometown! We have been hosting guided visits for groups of the most diverse origins for years.

You will discover the old town and city centre of Faro while covering some of the main cultural influences and its long history as we walk by the most relevant sites. 

We start at Arco da Vila, the iconic monumental archway into the old town or Vila Adentro, it's unmistakable with it's prominent belltower and location at the square of the marina. Look for the red umbrella and enjoy an informative and easy going tour that will take you on journey through time and end up with our day-to-day lifestyle. Being guided by a local you will be able to understand better our cultural identity!
