Faro holds eight quests across five categories, led by Food with three โ€” though only just, with two in Party behind it. The categories with nothing in Faro so far are Art and Beach. None of them is tier 1 โ€” the tier the catalogue reserves for finds nobody would already have on a list โ€” so every check-in in Faro is open on any plan. Tier 3 covers seven of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway. A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Party is the group where the hour decides everything: the same address is a landmark at midnight and an empty street at six. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point. ### By category Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Faro quests among them. - [History quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/history) โ€” one in Faro - [Nature quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/nature) โ€” one in Faro - [Food quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/food) โ€” three in Faro - [Sport quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/sport) โ€” one in Faro - [Party quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/category/party) โ€” two in Faro --- Nearby ## Cities near Faro Ranked by distance rather than by border, because from here the next useful stop is often the one in the next country. - [Lisbon 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/pt/lisbon) - [Cordoba 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/es/cordoba) - [Mรกlaga 12 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/es/malaga) - [Bilbao 13 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/es/bilbao) - [Funchal 31 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/pt/funchal) - [Palma 7 quests](https://getmap.travel/quests/city/es/palma) --- Questions ## About quests in Faro ### How many photo quests are there in Faro? 8, across five of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3) and Party (2). Nothing in Art and Beach here yet โ€” a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Chapel of Bones, Ria Formosa and Bifana. ### Can you do all the Faro quests on one trip? Most of them, with transport. The outermost of the 8 is 8.7 km from the middle of the Faro list, so the cluster in the middle is an afternoon and the edges are a bus or a taxi each. ### Which Faro quests can you do for free? All 8. The PRO gate covers checking in to the hardest tier of quests, and Faro holds none of that tier, so every quest here can be read, travelled to and checked in on the free plan. Checking in anywhere needs an account, because a verified visit has to belong to somebody, but an account costs nothing. ### How do I prove I visited a place in Faro? Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Faro is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Chapel of Bones fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way โ€” upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Faro sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from. --- This is the Markdown rendering of https://getmap.travel/quests/city/pt/faro.
