Faro is one of those places that somehow manages the effortless co- existence of a modern and fresh atmosphere while still maintaining it’s quaint older elements in a way that when there, you feel as though you could have gone back in time. With its great balance of museums, traditional landscape and architecture with all night clubs and trendy bars that have developed out of the successful university this city really has a lot to offer. Opening hours are more laid back in Portugal and you will often find that the clubs will only begin to liven up around midnight, so it is worth taking your time and heading out a little later to get the most from of your night out. You won’t be disappointed if you are coming for sun, sea and sand either, Faro not only has it’s own beach, but there are regular boats that can take you to other close by coastlines with yet more and more sand. There is hardly a spot by the sea in this popular town where you can not hire a speedboat, Jet Ski or be dragged on some kind of inflatable, so if you want to wake yourself up after all that sunbathing you certainly will be able to! If you choose to stay in Faro you will be subject to a lot of tempting shopping. Apart from the usual fashion stores you can find some real bargains in the heart of Faro in Rua Santo Antonio and the Rua Francisco Gomes. Here you will be able to browse some traditional Portuguese wares such as handcrafted bags, ceramics and clothing. You will be surprised just how well the locals manage to combine modern fashion with the traditional styles of the country. The perfect way to become a trendsetter! Due to Faro not being far away from the rural parts of Portugal you can easily combine a city break with day trips to the more conventional parts of the country. These are just some examples of what is on offer if you decide to stay in this busy and varied town, so be sure to check online for more information.
