Travel Tip: Take the bus!

Getting a Bus from Faro Airport to City

The bus, a convenient and usually affordable method for getting to your destination. In Faro, it is indeed both. The price of a ticket is between €1,20 and €2,50, depending on which line you catch.

From the airport, head to the bus station and catch the number 16 bus, which should be easily locatable. You will need to buy your ticket from the driver, who only accepts cash payments currently, so make sure you have a little spare change on you.

From the airport to the centre of the city is a 20 minute trip by bus, with 16 stops in total along the way. The bus will drop you off at Rodoviario station, which is a brief walk away from the centre of the city, but conveniently placed, making getting additional connections an easy affair.

Cheapest Way from Faro Airport to City

The quick answer is that the bus is the quickest. A single trip will cost just a few euros, making it incredibly affordable, especially for backpackers and students, who will likely be the most budget conscious travellers. Alas, the issue with public transport in most cities, and Faro is no exception, is their unreliability and sometimes inconvenience. What we mean by this is that buses can be delayed or late, you can miss connections, and become stuck at the airport.

An additional inconvenience is buses being overcrowded. This is especially the case during the summer season, when tourists flock to the region for its beaches. If you are travelling alone, this usually isn’t a problem, yet if you are with your family, being crammed into a bus isn’t optimal. This is even more of an issue if you have a lot of luggage, as finding adequate storage for it in a bus, is usually a challenge if the bus is packed.

If you are travelling with lots of luggage, or your family, we recommend booking an airport transfer with AtoB. You can consult the chart below to get an idea of our prices for the journey to the city centre.
