The Forum Algarve in Faro is a fantastic shopping centre which is half open-air and half covered. It houses a great selection of shops, many of which are well known, as well as a multiplex cinema. Shops are spread over 2 floors, and there is a large supermarket on the ground floor. Children are well catered for at The Forum, with pushchairs, family toilets and baby changing facilities, and each restaurant or café has its own high chairs.
The Forum Algarve is easy to find, and traffic to and from the centre is rarely heavy. The range of shops is fantastic and includes Zara, Benetton, Levis, FNAC, Imaginarium and more. There are also many great restaurants, should you need a break from all the shopping (and considering shops are open every day until 11pm, this may well be the case!)
