Adventure Hunt Faro

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.

Highlights

* The beautiful orange tree-lined Largo da Sé, home to Faro Cathedral
* The ancient city walls and narrow cobbled streets of Cidade Velha, the Old Town
* Great street art and unique architecture
* The ornate, pastel-blue Belmarço Palace
* White Stork nests perched on cranes, rooftops, and church spires across the city
* Authentic café culture and family-run businesses in São Pedro
* Independent boutique shopping in the pedestrianised centre

There’s plenty more to see and do along (or just beyond) the Hunt trail. Visit the Municipal and Maritime Museums or enjoy hands-on exhibits and an aquarium at the Faro Science Museum — ideal for families. Don’t miss the famous Chapel of Bones at Igreja do Carmo.
You can also catch a ferry to the stunning Ilha Deserta or relax on Faro Beach.
When it comes to food and drink, Faro has something for everyone — from historic tavernas and traditional seafood restaurants to vegan cafés and gelaterias.
