What an ordeal! My journey from Porto to Faro with a change of trains was a complete disaster. The first train, IC 721, started 30 minutes late in Porto-Campanhã. The seats were uncomfortable and the wifi didn't work. In Lisbon-Oriente I was supposed to change to the AP 184 to Faro. Due to the delay of the first train, I naturally missed the connection. The information at the station was miserable, nobody could help me. After hours of waiting, I finally caught the next train to Faro. The AP 184 was overcrowded and I had to stand the whole way. The air conditioning was faulty and it was unbearably hot. The staff were annoyed and unfriendly. When I asked for compensation, I was turned away. Instead of the planned 6 hours and 51 minutes, I was travelling for over 9 hours. My luggage was damaged on arrival. This train connection is an absolute imposition. Hands off! Better to fly or take the bus. I will never travel this route by train again.

The train journey from Porto to Faro on the 180 high-speed train was a very pleasant experience! It takes 5 hours and 43 minutes to get directly to your destination without changing trains, making the journey relaxed and stress-free. The train was modern, clean and comfortable, with cosy seats and a pleasantly quiet atmosphere - perfect for such a long journey. The service on board was friendly and there was plenty of space for luggage. Punctuality was also a big plus. The only downside is the high ticket price. I would have liked a slightly cheaper offer for this route. Nevertheless, the journey is a great option if you want to travel from northern to southern Portugal in comfort and without hassle.

Exploring the Historical Charm of Faro Old Town

Welcome to Faro Old Town, or Cidade Velha, a charming historical enclave that dates back to Roman times and showcases the rich tapestry of Algarve's past. Its significance lies in its well-preserved medieval walls and cobblestone streets, which invite you to wander through centuries of history while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. Unique features include the stunning Arco da Vila entrance that leads into this enchanting area, offering breathtaking views and an unforgettable first impression.

As we approach Arco da Vila, you'll notice this impressive archway serves as both a gateway into Faro’s historic heart and a symbol of resilience throughout various periods of occupation. Built in 1812 on top of older structures from different eras, it reflects neoclassical architecture with intricate details that tell stories from Portugal's colonial past. The unique blend of styles makes it not just an architectural marvel but also a perfect backdrop for your photos!

Now let’s visit Igreja do Carmo, renowned for its striking Baroque design completed in the late 18th century; it's one of Faro's most iconic churches. This landmark is significant due to its Chapel of Bones—a haunting yet fascinating space adorned with human skulls and bones—serving as a poignant reminder about mortality intertwined with faith. What sets this church apart are its ornate altars decorated with gilded woodwork that captures both artistic beauty and spiritual depth within these sacred walls!
