Feel most welcome to join a proud 'farense' (those born and bred in town) on a walking tour of our hometown! We have hosted guided visits for groups from diverse backgrounds for years.
You will discover Faro's old town and city center while exploring key cultural influences and its long history as we pass 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 its prominent bell tower and location at the marina square. Look for the red umbrella and enjoy an informative, easy-going tour that takes you on a journey through time and ends with our day-to-day lifestyle. Guided by a local, you'll better understand our cultural identity!
