Book a hotel in Faro

Looking for the perfect place to stay in Faro? Whether you're after a budget-friendly hostel near the marina or a luxurious hotel with an Algarve view, eDreams has rounded up everything you need to know about finding your ideal base for exploring this beautiful city.

Discover Faro, the sun-drenched capital of the Algarve, a city where historical charm meets stunning natural beauty. This captivating destination is renowned for its well-preserved Old Town, enclosed by ancient walls, and its proximity to the Ria Formosa Natural Park. You can wander through the cobblestone streets, admiring the traditional architecture and soaking in the relaxed atmosphere.

Key attractions include Faro Cathedral, offering panoramic views from its tower, and the macabre Bone Chapel at the Carmo Church. Don't miss the picturesque marina, perfect for a leisurely stroll before enjoying fresh seafood at a waterfront restaurant. For those planning a stay, Faro provides a range of accommodation options, from boutique guesthouses within the historic centre to modern hotels, all offering convenient bases for exploring the city and its surrounding areas.

Faro city centre is the most popular area for booking accommodation, offering excellent access to many attractions and transport links.

The historic Old Town (Cidade Velha) is ideal for those seeking a charming, traditional atmosphere. You will find boutique hotels and guesthouses housed in historic buildings. Key landmarks here include the Arco da Vila, the Sé Cathedral, and the Faro Municipal Museum, located in the Nossa Senhora da Assunção Convent. The area is largely pedestrianised, perfect for exploring on foot.

Outside the Old Town walls, the more modern city centre provides a wider range of hotel options, from budget-friendly stays to comfortable hotels. This area, around Rua de Santo António, is known for its shopping streets and local cafes. The Carmo Church with its Bone Chapel is a notable site here, as is the Marina de Faro, which acts as a central point for boat trips and walks along the waterfront.

For convenient transport connections, consider staying near Faro train station or the bus terminal. These areas offer practical hotel choices and are well-connected to the city centre. From these central locations, you can easily reach Faro Airport (FAO) by a short bus or taxi ride, making your arrival and departure smooth when planning your hotel stay.

Planning a trip to Faro and want to save on accommodation? Consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). You will find lower hotel rates and fewer crowds than in the peak summer months. Booking your stay a few months in advance often secures better deals, especially for popular areas like Faro's Old Town, known for its historic walls crafted from stones reclaimed from Roman ruins. Staying slightly outside the city centre, perhaps in areas with good public transport links, can also offer more budget-friendly options while keeping you connected to the main attractions.

Look for hotels that include breakfast to save on daily meal costs, or choose accommodation with self-catering facilities if you plan to cook some of your own meals. We offer a wide range of hotels in Faro to suit every budget and preference. Book your next hotel stay in Faro with eDreams and find your perfect getaway.
