Shopping Tour in Faro

The best shopping in Faro isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. Independent boutiques, artisan workshops, vintage stores, and morning markets are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the walker with discoveries you can't find online.

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 Shopping 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

Hidden Shopping 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
