Getting to Albufeira
Airport: Faro Airport (FAO)
Distance: 40 minutes by taxi or Uber to Albufeira
-
Pre-book a taxi, Uber, or transfer service to your accommodation to reach Albufeira swiftly and comfortably.
-
Many popular airlines fly directly to Faro, making it easy to find a flight that suits your schedule.
EU Entry/Exit System (EES)
The EU has introduced a new system called Entry/Exit System (EES) at airports, including Faro. If this is your first time entering Portugal (or the EU under EES), you will be required to register at border control by scanning your passport and providing fingerprints and a photo. EU passport holders do not need to register. This is done on arrival at the airport and replaces passport stamping. Once registered, you won’t need to do this again when departing. Please give yourself 2-3 hours time for this before your flight.
