Portugal Mini Guide

Portugal is one of the most visited holiday destinations in Europe and is particularly popular with the British, Germans and the Dutch because of its excellent weather and comprehensive facilities. We have other great locations in Europe including Spain and France.

The most westerly country in mainland Europe, Portugal has an expansive coastline on the Atlantic Ocean and has been a perennial favourite with holiday makers across the globe looking for beautiful beaches and a temperate climate whilst offering great value for money.



Whether you plan to relax on the beach, enjoy the nightlife or take a walking tour while sampling wines at local vineyards, Portugal has something for everyone. This is due in part to the diversity of its landscape along the Iberian Peninsula which means that you can get from the mountains down to the beaches in almost no time at all.



Recently the country has promoted itself as one of the best golf destinations in the world and many people are coming to Portugal to play the sport on its fine courses. The Portugal Open is part of the European PGA golf tour circuit and takes place in April on the Quinta da Marinha Oitavos Golfe in Cascais.

The roads in Portugal are good and there is usually a way to get anywhere that you want to go without leaving a highway, though some of these do charge a toll. Some of the drivers can be dangerous to say the least and care should be taken especially around the major conurbations of Porto and Lisbon. We have rental locations for car hire at Lisbon Airport and also in the city centre for car hire in Lisbon, so check out our great rates.

The Algarve is another place where extra careful driving is advised. However, planning your journey well in advance by carefully studying a map and also trying to avoid rush hours can help to prepare you. You can also add on satellite navigation to your car hire booking, for extra peace of mind! Just keep an eye out for people impatiently attempting risky overtaking manoeuvres and beware that lanes discipline is not always followed.

Once you feel confident, get out and explore this wonderful country. As well as the main cities and The Algarve, which are fantastic destinations, there are a host of other places worth seeing such as Viana do Castelo, Braga, Guimarães, Coimbra, Tomar, Aveiro, Amarante, Braga, Bragança, Chaves, Lamego, Viseu, Vila Real, Lagos, Silves, Évora, and Angra. These are a very good bet during the high season summer months when the Algarve is at its busiest.
