Stretch out on golden sand, visit a chapel decorated with human bones and spend some time exploring the small towns and villages of the coast. The city of Faro is the capital of the district and the ideal starting point for your journey through the region. Venture to the resorts, beaches and bays of the [Algarve](https://www.expedia.ca/Algarve.d182215.Destination-Travel-Guides) from the city, but don’t overlook the coastline surrounding the city, which boasts excellent beaches, including the Praia de Faro and the wide stretch of fine golden sand that makes up the Ilha de Faro.

One of the city's most fascinating sights is the Capela dos Ossos, a chapel decorated with the bones of more than 1,000 human skeletons. Extend your cultural wanderings to other parts of the Faro district. Visit the medieval castle in Alcoutim, the churches and castle of Loulé and the historic center of Monchique. The countryside around this inland town features numerous hiking trails. Faro is known for its nightlife, especially in the summer months when the population swells with visitors to the region. Sample local dishes and dance into the night at one of the region’s many bars and restaurants.
