Airport travel guide
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is a tourist mecca for people from all over the world, but particularly for Brits. With low-cost airlines ferrying tourists from many British cities, that is unsurprising. Many come for the architecture, culture, and nightlife of the city, but most come for the sunny weather and gorgeous beaches.
The best way to reach said beaches is by hiring a car. Most Brits visiting Portugal choose the hire a car for their holiday. Whether staying in a luxurious resort or hopping up the coast from beach to beach, having a car gives you the most freedom. And with such demand comes a major supply of hire cars — and incredibly low prices.
Tolls: Toll roads in Portugal can be confusing, for sure. You may be offered an electronic transponder by your hire company which will likely come with an extra daily fee. If traveling in the area around Lisbon, you may not need it as you can pay for most tolls with a credit card or in cash. If planning to travel to the Algarve region and using the A22, you will want to take it. Of course, you always have the choice of avoiding it and therefore not needing a transponder.
Driving to Spain: The Spanish border is roughly 200km from Lisbon Airport. You can take most hire cars from Lisbon Airport to Spain. However, note that there is an additional fee to cross the border which varies from company to company, and that you must inform the hire company ahead of time.
So don't wait! Plan your trip to Portugal, hire a car, and enjoy the culture and sunny beaches! Here are some destinations to put on your list:
- Sintra. A part of the so-called Portuguese Riviera, Sintra is one of the most popular day trips from the capital. Home to impressive palaces, castles, and ruins, the area is also notable for the surrounding hills, proximity to the Atlantic coastline, and Sintra-Cascais Nature Park. The drive from Lisbon takes only about 35 minutes.
- Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology. There are many interesting museums in Lisbon, but the MAAT deserves a special mention. Home to interesting exhibitions on the three fields mentioned in its name, it is also known for being located in one of the most futuristic buildings in Iberia. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum also frequently hosts different cultural and entertainment events.
- Obidos. Known for its cute (if rather steep) cobblestone streets, quaint architecture, and the mighty walls that surround it all, Obidos is another fun day trip destination. The attractive medieval village is also characterized by the mighty Obidos Castle, the distinctly blue azulejo tiles, and one of the nicest bookshops in Portugal. The drive from Lisbon takes about an hour, and if you’re not short on time, you can continue towards Nazare, a coastal town known as the location of the highest wave ever surfed.
