If you like nature, you will find Ria Formosa natural park not far from Faro, known for its unique ecosystem and its reserve housing a very beautiful variety of migrant birds. As for beaches, Olhão and Albufeira are located respectively 15 and 30 minutes away from Faro, where there are parties (almost) every evening and all night long.
