      Useful information about the flight from London to Faro

       Why holiday in the Algarve?

      Faro is a quaint haven with Roman city walls. It's pleasant for all visitors whether you prefer relaxing at a pavement cafe, on the beach, wandering around the shops or discovering Faro's historical landmarks.

      One of Faro's jewels is the Old Town (Cidade Velha), where you can visit the Bishop's Palace and Faro Cathedral. Enter via the eighteenth century arch - Arco da Vila and wander uphill through narrow cobbled streets. Leave via another arch - Arco do Repouso - where you will find yourself at the water's edge of the Largo da Sao Francisco.

      Faro's second jewel is the Ria Formosa Lagoon nature reserve, where you can enjoy a boat trip. 

       

      When is the best time for a holiday in the Algarve?

      Faro is an excellent destination at any time of the year. The best time for beach loving visitors is from April to October. Summer is hot and sunny with temperatures from 27° to 35°C. Winters are mild  with temperatures at 8° to 17°C. Faro can be very busy during the peak season.

      For visiting during festival time, the very popular Faro International Motorcycle Rally is held during the third weekend in July. Known as a Biker Mecca it includes concerts, exhibitions, 24 hour bars and professional motorbike stands. Faro's "birthday" is held on 7th September which is when it was officially given the status of "city" in 1540, so for two weeks at the beginning of September the Festas do Concelho is held with music, parties, sporting events and exhibitions.
