Belfast to Faro
Aer Lingus are now flying from Belfast to Faro 3 times a week.
From Faro airport you can easily get to your destination by taxi, hire car or using the services of Eva buses.
Faro airport is used by visitors to Portugal and is only about 7km to Faro itself.
Most visitors to Portugal tend to head for the beach resorts such as Lagos and Albuferia but why not take time and spend some time in the city of Faro itself.
From Faro harbour you can take a boat trip and enjoy the channels of the Ria Formosa nature park. From the boat you will have the opportunity to enjoy the nature and do a spot of bird watching at the same time. The nature park is well known to attract hundreds of different migrating birds especially during the spring and autumn periods.
In Faro itself you should visit the old town with its cobbled streets and the largo da se Square and the cathedral.
For nightlife head for Rua do Prior where you will find plenty of bars and clubs.
Faro is also home to a bizarre attraction, the Chapel of bones ( Capela’Ossos). This is a 19th century chapel and as its name suggests, its walls and ceiling are covered with human skulls and bones.
Less of the bones and more of the shopping then head for Rua Santo António.
Time for the beach then take the number 16 bus to Praia de Faro a beautiful long stretch of sandy beach.
Where to stay? The 4* Faro hotel has a great location overlooking the marina. From the marina you are able to take one of the water taxis to the sandy beaches on the Islands in the Ria Formose nature park.
