The city’s new tourist website will also be launched as part of the celebrations on September 27.

Faro municipality is getting ready to celebrate World Tourism Day on September 27. The event aims to educate the local community on the significance of tourism and its positive impact on society, culture, politics, and the economy, emphasizing the sector’s potential for positive change.

In keeping with previous years, residents and visitors will be entitled to free entry to the Faro Municipal Museum and the Algarve Regional Museum throughout the day.

Visitors can join the ‘Faro to Discovery’ initiative to explore the municipality’s rich cultural heritage through two Guided Visits scheduled at 10h00 and 15h00 in the Historical Centre and Downtown.

The tours will be conducted in Portuguese and English and last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Attendance is free, but email registration (turismo@cm-faro.pt) is obligatory.

Recognizing the importance of tourism for the local community, Faro City Council plans to launch its new tourist website, www.faro.pt, on this occasion. The user-friendly website offers comprehensive tourism information and is tailored for residents and tourists alike. It allows users to discover the municipality’s tourism offerings and organize their trips from start to finish.
