Situated on the western side of the Algarve, the port city of Portimao is known for its stunning beaches, historic Old Town and unbeatable sailing. It’s approximately 64 km from Faro Airport and is a popular destination for tourists visiting this spectacular region.
There are three transport options when travelling between Faro Airport and Portimao; by taxi, by private transfer or by bus. Opting for a private transfer or taxi ride is by far the most convenient option as there is no train station at the airport and no direct public transportation options between the two destinations.
Taking an airport taxi is definitely the fastest and most convenient choice, as it takes less than an hour to get to Portimao. Alternatively, the cheapest yet least convenient option is to take two separate buses, which will cost you a total of €14 one-way.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Faro at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
