Where are the best places to fly to from Faro Airport?

If you don’t have your destination nailed yet, that’s fine – we all know what it’s like when you just want a break from the old routine. Here are a few FAO destinations you might want to consider:

• Choose Birmingham if you want to tap into the rich culture of the city that did such a spectacularly good job hosting the XXII Commonwealth Games. Just a few cracking things to do in this marvellous multicultural city include catching a live music or comedy gig in the exquisite Symphony Hall (Britain’s finest), drooling over 1000 classic mean machines at the National Motorcycle Museum and coming face to fin with sharks and other underwater creatures at the National Sea Life Centre. You can also catch the Shakespeare Express steam train from the city to the Bard’s home town Stratford Upon Avon, ignite your kids’ imaginations at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and see Jersey cattle, ponies and goats at Sheldon Country Park. Whew!
• Choose Newcastle to get to know some of Britain’s most welcoming locals and experience a buzzing city with a proud working class heritage. Top things to see and do in and around this North East powerhouse include enjoying world-class music at Sage Gateshead, soaking up the atmos in Ouseburn’s superb bars and restaurants, and watching the mighty Newcastle United play at St James Park. If you want to stretch your legs in some super scenery, head to the 400-acre Rising Sun Country Park with its lake, woods and wetlands, while the old school Art Deco Tyneside Cinema is a treat for cinephiles.
• Choose The Azores if you want to have the time of your life discovering a nine-island volcanic paradise. Outstanding things to do in this amazing archipelago include hiking the scenic Lagoa do Fogo Trail on San Miguel, watching whales breach the surface from a boat, and soaking in therapeutic thermal springs. The Azores is also home to the 2351m high Mount Pico, the highest point in the whole of Portugal, so if you’re feeling fit you can take a guided climb up this active volcanic peak and see fumaroles at the top releasing steam from the fiery depths below. Don’t leave without seeing Sete Cidades crater lake – this azure lake is surrounded by seven mountain peaks and looks like something from another planet.
