Faro, Portugal

Music & Arts Tour in Faro

Faro's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Faro is the laid-back capital of the Algarve, a walled old town of cobblestone lanes and Baroque churches that serves as the gateway to the stunning Ria Formosa lagoon.

Top Music & Arts Tour Spots

•Faro Cathedral and tower — a 13th-century cathedral rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake with a Baroque interior, azulejo tiles, and tower views over the old town and Ria Formosa lagoon
•Faro Marina — a modern marina at the edge of the old town with yacht berths, waterfront restaurants, and departure points for boat tours through the Ria Formosa lagoon
