The distance from Alvor to Faro Airport is 71kms (44 miles). By the most direct route, Google Maps suggests this should take 43 minutes.
If you are driving yourself, here are some things to consider:
- In Portugal traffic drives on the right-hand side, and the national speed limit is 90km/hour for standard roads and 120/km/hour on toll expressways or dual carriageways. In built up areas the limit reduces to 50km/hour.
- Unfortunately Portuguese drivers are famously impatient, and often tail gate slower drivers and attempt to overtake in dangerous areas which has meant that the country has become one of the highest levels of road deaths in Europe.
- If taking a taxi, expect to pay between 70 and 100 euros, depending on what time of day/week it is, and how many people are travelling with you.
