Search Hotels in Centro Histórico, Lagos

While Centro Histórico offers a unique blend of history and convenience, other neighbourhoods in Faro provide similar qualities for a high-quality stay.

The area around the Marina de Faro is an excellent alternative, particularly if you appreciate waterfront views and easy access to boat trips. This district stretches along the Doca de Faro, just west of the Centro Histórico walls, and is characterised by its modern promenade, a variety of restaurants with outdoor seating, and its proximity to the main bus and train stations. It's a very walkable area with a relaxed, holiday feel.

Couples will find the Marina de Faro appealing for its romantic evening strolls and dining options overlooking the yachts. There are several upscale hotels here that often feature balconies with sea views and amenities like rooftop pools. From here, it's a short walk to the Jardim Manuel Bivar and the Arco da Vila, connecting you directly to the historic centre.

For those who prefer a slightly quieter, more residential feel while still being central, the Rua de Santo António area offers a good balance. This pedestrianised street, running parallel to the Centro Histórico, is known for its boutique shops, cafes, and traditional Portuguese architecture.
