While there are plenty of other European cities that are famous for their historic impact, Faro is a great place as it features a beautiful old town with plenty of interesting things to see, as well as a big influence from various Arabic rulers. Surrounded by old Moorish city walls, it really brings the perfect atmosphere for those who love old buildings and architecture. Make sure to visit Sé Catedral de Faro, which boasts precious works of art such as chapels, sculptures and azulejos (blue and white ceramic tiles). Get to the clock tower to check out the mesmerising views of the city, and then head to the city hall, and the Museu Archeologico.
