Faro, Portugal

Photography Tour in Faro

The best photos of Faro aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

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 Photography Tour Spots

•Cidade Velha (Old Town) — a walled old town entered through the Arco da Vila archway, with the 13th-century cathedral, bishop's palace, cobbled lanes, and stork nests on rooftops
•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

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Ilha Deserta — a completely uninhabited barrier island with pristine beaches, reached by a short ferry from the old town
•Milreu Roman Ruins — a well-preserved Roman villa with mosaic floors and a temple, just north of the city
