ABOUT FORUM ALGARVE

Forum Algarve is a meeting point and almost a mandatory stop for thousands of people, both for locals as tourists.

This building was designed and inspired by the Algarve’s architecture, history, and tradition, making it a pleasant place full of natural light and a vibrant energy unique in this region.

Forum Algarve also is ideally located. It’s situated at the western entrance to Faro and just to 5 minutes from Faro International Airport.

This shopping center has more than 100 stores of prestigious and international brands such as Bimba Y Lola, Fnac, Gant, GMS Apple Store, Guess, JD Sports, Lacoste, Nespresso, Samsung, Tous, and Zara as well as a dental clinic and pharmacy.

Fans of a good movie can count with Cinemas NOS, equipped with the latest sound and image technology.

Alongside this, the center has a food court with more than 20 restaurants prepared to satisfy every palate, from fast-food to international food and, of course, typical Portuguese cuisine.

For those who go by car, you don’t have to worry about parking space, as Forum Algarve has a free covered parking with capacity for 2500 vehicles.

Forum Algarve also has a flight information service connected in real time to Faro International Airport, a free boarding pass printing service, train and bus ticket sales and lockers for luggage storage, all with the comfort of our visitors in mind.

THE LOCATION

Forum Algarve has an excellent location. As you enter through the western entrance of Faro, our building is one of the first you will see. You will certainly feel like visiting us right away.

We’re biased, of course, but our shopping center has truly beautiful architecture!

And what to say about the city of Faro? There is a lot to say and even more to see!

Being capital of district, Faro benefits from a series of services and infrastructures that make it an increasingly complete and great city to live, work, study or spend a few pleasant days on holiday.

Besides Faro International Airport, which is a 5 minute drive from Forum Algarve, this fantastic city also has a university which receives students from all over the country and the world, two hospitals – one public and one private -, and also two theatres, one of which – the Teatro das Figuras – is a 1 minute walk from our shopping center.

As a result, many people come to Forum Algarve for dinner before or after a show at this cultural venue.

 

What also attracts visitors to Faro is the fact that it is bordered by the Ria Formosa and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. It is well worth walking through the labyrinths of the Ria Formosa and observing the flamingos and other species that live there.

You can do this by taking a boat from the pier at Portas do Mar, one of the entrances to Vila-Adentro, Faro’s picturesque and charming historic center, with various points of interest to visit, such as the Municipal Museum and the Faro Cathedral.

There is no lack of reasons to come to Faro. Even for those who live or stay in other places in the Algarve, you can get here in no time, either by car, train or bus.
