What to do in Lisbon
With your Lisbon car hire in hand a good place to start though is the Alfama District, which is the oldest part of the city containing the Lisbon Cathedral. Of course, there are also the surrounding beaches, consider packing up the car and spending the day by the sea. We also suggest driving to the picturesque town of Obidos filled with traditionally painted houses and cobbled streets.
SUMMER IN LISBON
The beaches Praia da Conceição and Praia de Santo Amaro de Oeira are outside the city making car hire in Lisbon very convenient. If you want to get even further out then we also suggest taking the car hire to Sesimbra, a particularly good resort town with beautiful beaches and a peaceful, authentic Portuguese distinctness to it. Sintra is another town a half hour drive from where there’s a world-renowned cluster of palaces and churches on top the mountain. People often stay for days in Sintra.
Lisbon in Winter
Just because Lisbon is a popular spot in the summer doesn’t mean there’s not plenty to do in winter. In fact, although not boiling it still boasts fair and sunny weather all year round. The National Museum of Ancient Art houses an incredible collection and equally impressive is the Berardo Collection Museum – perfect indoor places in case it is too chilly. One of the grandest places to visit is Monastery of Jerónimos built during the ‘age of exploration’ and houses many artefacts from these adventures.
