How to get to the Algarve: to Faro airport

The fastest is by plane. The flight to Faro takes about 3 hours, sometimes the outward or return flight is shorter due to the favorable wind direction. Various airlines fly to Faro, among others:

Ryanair: Flights from Eindhoven, Charleroi, Weeze (Düsseldorf) and Maastricht in the summer

Transavia: flies from Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Amsterdam

With your own car from the Netherlands

If you enjoy a long vacation, you should consider taking your own car. The most advantageous is that you have your own car at your disposal during your holiday stay. The distance Utrecht - Tavira is approximately 2350 km. It can be traveled in 2 to 3 days (one way). We have a route description available for you, with nice stops, tips and hotel addresses for your journey in Belgium-France-Spain.

We reserve your car and confirm this in writing. From the airport of Faro it is 25 minutes by car to Casa Antonius. With the booking confirmation of the villa you will receive directions from the airport to the house.

Via Lisbon for a combination city and beach vacation

Lisbon is one of the most economical destinations in Europe. Airlines such as Portugália Airlines, TAP Air Portugal and Easyjet fly to Lisbon from various destinations within and outside Europe. The charter flights are fairly cheap.

You can first visit the beautiful and lively city of Lisbon for a few days and then you go at your leisure to the Algarve to have a beach and sun holiday there. You can rent a car at “Aeroporto da Portela” in Lisbon, we can help you with that, ask our car rental brochure.

There are 3 car routes from Lisbon to Faro, the fastest route is via the A2 and then the E1 (both toll roads). It is approximately 3 hours and a quarter of an hour (279 km) away.

But you can also continue your journey by train or bus to Faro and enjoy the scenery. It takes both about 4 hours to reach Faro.

De Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses or CP is the rail operator in the country and all times and prices are on their website www.cp.pt. All train tickets can be purchased at CP desks at stations, or on the RENFE website (for night trains).

The flights to Seville are also not expensive, take a look at the airline Vueling and Rynair.

Seville has a large historic center and is a bustling city. We recommend that you visit Seville in the spring and autumn, as it can be very hot in the summer. It is not for nothing that it is the hottest city in Europe.
