Peak Season:
During the summer, especially July and August, Faro is crammed with tourists who are escaping for some sunny weather. A lot of flights to Faro are booked for half-term breaks during the spring, around Easter and in autumn time. This means the beaches are normally very busy, making cheap flights to Faro can be harder to come by. The night of the 24th and the day of the 25th are the celebrations of Liberation Day, which is full of music and festivities. There are also festivals in the first two weeks September which was when Faro was given a city status. If you are more concerned with the price rather than the events then look outside of these celebrations to find the cheapest flights to Faro.

You can discover cheap flights to Faro during spring and autumn, as long as it’s not during the half-term weeks. The weather is normally warm and pleasant and there are less tourists around.

To get a train if you are needing to travel somewhere specific, you need to jump on the bus from outside the airport and get off at the train station. For a minimum of €10.00 you can get a taxi from the airport to the city centre, the price varies depending on the time of day and exactly how far you need to travel.
