Rent a motorhome or campervan in Faro

About Faro

With its cool marina, lively nightlife, outdoor cafes and a well-preserved medieval zone, Faro is much more than just a city––it’s a lovely intro to the perfect Algarve road trip by van.

Great weather, wide beaches, fun nightlife, quaint houses, and food that’s fingerlicking good. Algarve is one of the most visited areas in all of Portugal––but its capital is still flying stealth on the tourist radar. Not awash with holiday goers, you get to leisurely explore the enchanting city and its classics. Like the 800-year-old cathedral and the white-washed Old Town, encircled by ancient walls that predate the Romans. Walk the calçada portuguesa and admire typical terracotta-tiled houses. Afterwards, dine on delicious seafood like grilled octopus or cataplana, a fish stew on a tomato base. Spot local wildlife during a cruise on the Ria Formosa, a 60-km lagoon with flamingos, razorbills, and dozens other species of birds. The lagoon’s outer islands, like Ilha Culatra and Ilha Barretta, have serene golden beaches for you to enjoy almost privately! But there’s no need to leave Faro for a sunbath; Praia de Faro is perfect for an afternoon at the beach after exploring the town! And when you’re ready to start your road trip, hire a campervan in Faro and go see why the Algarve is Europe’s most famous secret!
