Faro is a city in southern Portugal with a population of approximately 40,000 people. It is the seat of the District of Faro and capital of the Algarve region. The Algarve and the Faro district cover the same territory. Faro has a public university, an international airport, a seaport, a marina, and railroad station, and a bus terminal. The Estadio Algarve, a 30,000-seat stadium, was the site of Euro 2004. Many tourists think Algarve is a sunny place all year round, but it has four well-defined seasons in terms of temperature and rainfall. The warm climate, the beaches, and the sunny weather makes Faro a very popular summer resort. Local tourists from Portugal and Europe visit in June, July, and August. The small airport is close to the city and has quite a number of flights arriving and departing. Transportation to and from the airport are limited; there is no train service, and the buses have limited routes.
