Car Hire in Faro

Faro itself is a fantastic place to explore, with must-sees like the historic Old Town that you really shouldn't miss. However, the further you move away from the city centre, the more you'll find that the real Algarve magic is tucked away in spots you can’t always reach by public transport. Whether you want to head to the famous caves of Benagil or take a scenic

• The Pink Palace of Estoi: Located just 15 minutes from Faro. This palace is famous for its stunning pink architecture and tiled gardens, which are free to explore. Don't miss the Milreu Ruins next door to see some of the best-preserved mosaics in Portugal.
• Praia da Ilha de Faro: This is Faro’s main beach. With a car, you can drive past the crowded entrance to the far end of the island. This gets you to quieter stretches of sand and local seafood spots that are too far to reach on foot.
• São Brás de Alportel: A 20 minute drive inland brings you to this traditional cork-producing town. It’s the ultimate spot for "slow travel," where you can disconnect among tiled houses and local craft traditions. It feels completely different to the busy resorts, making it perfect for an authentic, quiet escape.
• Quinta do Lago Boardwalks: Just 20 minutes west of Faro, these wooden paths take you right across the Ria Formosa nature reserve. It’s a great spot for a relaxed walk, especially at sunset, where you can see the salt pans and usually spot some flamingos.
• Santa Luzia: Known as the "Octopus Capital," this tiny fishing village is a short drive away from Faro. It’s much more peaceful than the larger coastal towns and is the best place in the country to enjoy a fresh, traditional octopus lunch right by the water.
