The railway system in the city is not connected to the airport, and any passengers arriving have to use the bus service or taxis for onward travel. Only a single bus is available and it is necessary to catch another bus to further Algarve towns from Faro city center. From there, it is much easier using a train which is linked with the other towns from the railway station.
In the city, there are well-preserved historical centers and monuments. For instance, the Cathedral of Faro was constructed in the early 13th century, encompassing gothic style architecture. The Rio Formosa lagoon is a system of six barrier islands close to the shoreline that both nature lovers and scientific minds can enjoy. While those wishing to relax can take advantage of the numerous cafes and stalls that dot the expansive coastline, where travelers can sample some of the local cuisine.
