Traveling by Bus

Among many transportation options in Faro, one of the most popular is that of the public transportation on the bus. There is a wide variety of stops the buses make at many different times. Visitors have several buses to choose from and a convenient schedule is available in English for the traveler. Tickets are easily accessible and reasonably priced and multiple discounts are available for students, pensioners, military personnel and government authorities. The different bus lines are also color coded for easy understanding and remembering. The buses also have late schedules to meet the needs of the visitors in the evenings.

Driving in Faro

Driving is another option here but you must be aware of the driving laws, which include alcohol limits, speed restrictions and licensing. It is best to be familiar with the road laws before renting or driving a vehicle so you do not ruin your vacation or trip with trouble. The laws are strict when it comes to electronic devices, seatbelts, and luggage. They also have restrictions on children and pets and where they can sit. Another no-no is radar devices. There are also important items that must be in the vehicle and readily accessible without exiting the car such as a reflective vest. Be sure to check with the laws before utilizing this option of transportation.

Traveling by Rail

Another form of transportation is that of the trains and railways. These systems accommodate handicap persons but be sure to call ahead to see that they can accommodate your needs if this is the case. They can also accommodate animals but certain rules apply and an additional small fee may be required.
