More Information

Explore the delights of Faro, the vibrant capital of the Algarve, on a 2km self-guided walking trail. Using the Adventure Hunt app (available on Android and iPhone), you’ll follow clues, solve puzzles, and uncover fascinating fun facts as you go — with helpful hints available whenever you need them.

The trail takes you through Faro’s must-see highlights, from the historic cobbled streets of the medieval Old Town (Cidade Velha) to the tiled boulevards of the bustling shopping district, and the palm-lined harbour. Along the way, you’ll also discover hidden gems, including the traditional São Pedro district, known for its local character.
With 19 stops along the route, the experience takes around 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. Free parking is available nearby (a 10-minute walk), and both the bus and train stations are just 5 minutes-walk away.
