Getting here

Faro Airport is about 30 minutes away by car, with direct flights from across Europe, and Lisbon, with direct flights from North America, is about 2h30 by car via the A2 and A22 motorways. We recommend a car: the supermarket, beach and restaurants are only a few minutes away. Non-EU visitors can usually stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, so please check the current entry rules before booking a longer stay.
