Free map of Faro

Miscellaneous: Make sure to pick up a free map of Faro at the Tourist Office. The map includes a detailed street map, an overview of the area and of the Algrave region. Apart from that it shows the location of the sights and lists some other useful information.

The staff of the Tourist Office was very friendly and helpful.

The Tourist Office is situated in Rua da Misericordia just next to the Arco da Villa which is the Northern entrance to Faro's Old Town
